Methinks that Obama is trying to hard to distance himself from the Muslims.  Is he courting the votes of bigots as this site infers?

SnobSenator Obama needs to stop pandering to the anti-Muslim community. If having two women wearing headscarves in the audience is enough to turn off some bigoted voter, then so be it. If acknowledging that his middle name is Hussein and that his name is Arabic in nature turns off some bigoted voter, then so be it.

That his supporters would condone this kind of behavior, “because he’s trying to win an election,”  or because “nobody’s perfect” is disgusting. We must hold our leaders to a higher standard. We should never allow our potential future president to blatantly and unabashedly discriminate against Muslims, or any group in order to avoid offending bigots and win an election. 

Senator Obama’s character is in question. If his campaign (would) rather discriminate against Muslim supporters and deem being termed a Muslim a “smear” then he should hope he can win on the votes of bigots alone.
