Damn Liberal Media insists on telling the truth about Obama’s religion. Well, some of them anyway.

However, when a local newspaper in Fergus Falls, Minnesota feels compelled to post an editorial informing its readers that Barack Obama is not, in fact, a Muslim, despite what they might have heard from their next door neighbor or that sweet old lady at the church last Sunday, what does that tell you about the Republican strategy to get the polls close enough to steal win the election for McCain?

Can we please be honest about one matter about which apparently far too many Americans are ill-informed? Barack Obama is not and never has been a Muslim. He is a baptized, practicing Christian and did not take his oath on the Koran.

I imagine that publication is in for some nasty letters to the editor from those of its subscribers who get their news from viral right wing emails and Fox News. That they did print this op-ed knowing that would be the case is commendable. Nonetheless, as Obama’s poll numbers continue to rise, I think we can safely expect the number of, and the rawness, of these racist appeals from Republicans to increase dramatically. After all, it’s a very simple message and one any ignoramus can readily understand : Don’t vote for the N***** because he’s a Muslim terrorist baby killer!

To be honest, with the economy cratering, what else have they got?
