Obama accidentally refers to 'Muslim faith'; conservative bloggers pounce
Staff Reporter | Posted September 8, 2008 12:44 PMHere we go again.
The conservative conspiracy theorists are blowing up the Internet after Sen. Barack Obama accidentally referred to his "Muslim faith" in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos on Sunday.
"You're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith," Obama said on ABC's "This Week." Stephanopoulos quickly corrected him.
Within one hour of the interview, anti-Obama groups had edited it out of context and were sending it around via e-mail, according to the conservative Washington Times newspaper.
"I'm not surprised that the only outlet doing this story is The Washington Times," Obama spokesman Bill Burton replied.
But conservative bloggers pounced on the slip as some sort of indication that Obama has been hiding the truth.
The partial interview segment is shown below...
Obama: Let's not play games. What I was suggesting -- you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you're absolutely right that that has not come.
Stephanopoulos: Christian faith.
Obama: My Christian faith. Well, what I'm saying is that he hasn't suggested that I'm a Muslim. And I think that his campaign's upper echelons have not, either. What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I'm not who I say I am when it comes to my faith -- something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time.
