American Afternoon with Ron Kuby Thursday May 22nd 2008
Barack Obama moved a bit closer to wrapping up the nomination as he is less than 70 delegates away. Hillary Clinton is vowing to push on and possibly take the fight to the convention in August. Barack Obama continues to focus on the general election and taking on John McCain. Obama also seems to be having a bit of an issue with certain communities. Ari Berman, from The Nation, will join Ron Kuby in HOUR ONE to talk about it.

BARACK HUSSIEN OBAMA
I thought Air America thinks of their hosts and the comments they make as being truth no lies no hiding facts. I am so curious as to why everyone including Ron Kuby is denying the fact that Obama is a Moslem are you embarrassed of his heritage?(May 22 2008)
Early
in his show. He was talking to someone about Barack. He said people around here
still think he is a Moslem. And Mr. Kuby laughed. I thought this was a well read man. He has defended a lot
of Moslems. He knows the rules. It does not make a difference what Barcak becomes religiously.
He will always and forever be a Moslem. If you are born of a Moslem father you are Moslem forever. So why is everyone hiding this Koran based fact. Would they deny a son of a Jewish mother. Would he hold the same rules for him. I don't think so. Ron Kuby would repeat over an over again
that he was a Jew.
Even though the son of a Jewish
mother was never raised with his mother became another religion
denyed denyed denyed his Jewish heritage. Oh I think this would not slip by Mr. Kuby. So why is this fact slipping by Mr. Kuby and all the other intelligence. It's a curious question. Maybe one day I will get the answer. I am not holding my breath.
