Shake That Finger
We all know how the right-wing media in this country loves to exploit the illusion of Obama as a secret Muslim. Almost from the time he won the Democratic nomination back in 2008, sociopaths like Orly Taitz have been trying to assure us that being born in the U.S. to an American-born mother who wed an atheist Kenyan automatically makes you a Muslim. If you doubt this then you simply are not connected to the convoluted thinking of flat-earthers. The fact that there are still doubters among you simply means you haven’t heard the lie often enough to accept it is as truth.
Well right-wing blogger F.W. Burleigh at “The American Thinker” blog is here to afford you yet another opportunity to buy into the malarkey that Obama is indeed a Muslim. To verify this he has used a still photo for effect (shown above) of a video of Obama at last August’s U.S./African Leaders’ Summit in Washington D.C. showing, what Burliegh assures us, is “Barack Hussein Obama flashing the one-finger affirmation of Islamic faith to dozens of African delegates.”
This twisted allusion to events used by Burliegh is typical right-wing psycho babble. Still certain that Obama is a secret Muslim, it’s not a stretch for them to make such asinine interpretations. Considering their failure to deal with reality I’m surprised this picture below got missed by Burleigh at the same summit meeting.
Is this the Muslim sign for the torture method that cuts people’s fingers off?
Some would say Obama was simply wagging his finger to some response that warranted a Colbert-style “wag-o’-the-finger”.
But I think the Prez was doing a little bit more than that. Asked by one of the leaders as he walked past them to show him his impersonation of Cab Calloway, Obama gave a quick rendering of the great American jazz musician’s style as seen below.

Oy vey.
LOL!
I was recently introduced to some absolute concrete proof that Obama is, indeed, a muslim (which, honestly, I wouldn’t care if he was… BUT HE ISN’T) and going to take over this country at the end of his first term… Wait, as soon as he’s re-elected… wait… AT the end of his second term. That’s it, and turn our freedom loving country into an islamic religious state with himself at the helm.
What is this conclusive proof, you may ask?
Well, it’s a 4 second clip during which Obama alludes to his time abroad, visiting his family in Kenya.
I HAVE A LIST!!!!!!
That’s getting into the spirit of it naptime. A little more work and you may earn your tin foil cap. 🙂
Oh, I got the tin foil hat, I’m waiting for my semi automatic.
“I’m waiting for my semi automatic.”
I’ll put you in touch with a semi-reputable gun dealer who works out of the back of his ’82 Lincoln Continental and goes by the nickname of Grease. Depending on your neighborhood you may have to wait until it’s dark for him to cater to your needs.
Eh, I can just go to the gun show. That’s where I got all my other guns and fallout shelter, you know, for when the government comes knocking…
well done.
I think the Prez has been wagging the wrong finger.
😀
And now, Guiliani and his wild-ass notions about Obama and communism. What the hell is wrong with these people? Gosh, I bet they get no sleep at night. They’re spending a lot of time compiling evidence about stuff that sane people don’t care about.
Hi Jean. Glad to hear form you.
You’re right. These people are absorbed with their fantasies and unfortunately the MSM accommodates them. Kind of tells you where the state of journalism is these days.
MSM seems to be focused on showing the world how stupid we are and people keep allowing that to happen.
There’s nowt so queer as folk….actually I’m more taken with the idea of Cab Calloway being a secret muslim extremist, and the obviously coded lyrics of Minnie the Moocha.
“actually I’m more taken with the idea of Cab Calloway being a secret muslim extremist, and the obviously coded lyrics of Minnie the Moocha.”
Good point Elaine. I confess that I have been waiting for some right-wing extremists (which of course you’re not) to point out that the start of the “Hi-De Ho man” song appears to employ gibberish and tunes that can easily be taken as “Muslim”. 😉
I think its the bit where she gives the King of Sweden everything that he’s been needin’ that is the cause for concern, Larry. You need to keep a close eye on those Scandinavians. They’re a tricksy lot.
I have my hands full keepin’ an eye on the Tea Baggers here. Thanks for the heads up though.
I would Google that phrase to see what it means in the US, Larry, but in the UK it has a rather dubious meaning…and I’m not talking politics!
It has the same meaning here Elaine but it is still used occasionally as a derogative for the narrow minded, self serving types of the Tea Party here, who are a resurrection of the 1950’s John Birch Society
well, just looked up the JBS. Ironic, isn’t it, that a society which believes so strongly in limited government, should so tightly control its members.
Limited for everyone one but the rich I’m afraid. John Birchers were the right wing element of Libertarian politics today. The dynamics of right wing politics is more regressive in this country than other forms.
