The purging of African-Americans, Hispanics, the LGBT community, moderates and non-Christians from the Republican party continues unabated.
“I don’t know if I’ll be a Republican a year from now,” says Seeme Hasan, who chairs the Hasan Family Foundation in Colorado, and has close ties to the Republican party leadership. Hasan’s frustration with the GOP was evident, and not just over their public opposition to the construction of a Muslim cultural center in lower Manhattan. “Every time a Muslim person becomes famous, they are viciously attacked,” Hasan said.
“The past few years in the Republican party has been constant humiliation for Muslims.”
I suspect that most Muslim Americans who have voted Republican in the past have finally seen the light. As for millionaire Muslims like Seeme Hasan, maybe not.
She says she has only one reason to suspect she’ll put a great deal of effort into defeating Barack Obama: His policies are perhaps more anti-Muslim, Hasan says, as Bush’s were. “It’s like my son says, he’s been more hawkish than Dick Cheney.”
Wingnuttery apparently runs deep in some regardless of religious affiliation and as to how many in their current political party despise their very existence.

And today MSNBC reports that 18% of Americans believes that Obama is a Muslim. Some times you just can’t win, I guess.
It is very sad. It is beginning to look as if he is acting in opposition to his own beliefs in reaction to the birther/Obama is a Muslim spew put out by the RNC. He also appears terrified to appear “…soft on defense…” by his actions on the so called “war on terror”. He backed off on single payer health because of the bad PR from sarah palin, Tea Party, the RNC and Fox news.
Very, very sad with all the hope he brought with his election. Lets hope he finds his backbone soon, he is a very intelligent man and does not deserve the invective hurled at him.
What in the world is she talking about?
