Again, I am not taking sides or saying BO is or isn't of Arab blood...but I just can't tolerate ignorance and stupidity either.

Should I believe everything I read that comes through my in-box? Do you know what the definition of "Arab" is? According to Princeton University's WordNet, an Arab is a member of a Semitic people originally from the Arabian peninsula and surrounding territories who speaks Arabic and who inhabits much of the Middle East and northern Africa. Can you please explain to me where Kenya, from where Obama's father originates, fits into that description? Or are you simply an adherent of the "One Drop Rule"? I should add that I am a registered Independent voter. I am not stumping for the Democratic ticket, I simply have a very low tolerance for ignorance and stupidity.

Arab background is what it is; we don't know HIS heart... but from his books, he's said if things get ugly he'd go muslim... I just got an email to that effect and will forward it to you if you give me an email address.
