Carly Fiorina Doesn’t Correct Man Who Calls Obama a ‘Black Muslim’

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/carl...calls-president-obama-black/story?id=35031158

Carly Fiorina did not correct a New Hampshire man today who called President Obama a “black Muslim.”

“He doesn’t want this country to get ahead,” the man said to Fiorina as she shook hands with a group of mostly undecided voters at Foodee's restaurant in Milford. "He doesn’t. He’s a Muslim. He’s a black Muslim."

“Well, uh, it’s time to do something different in many ways,” Fiorina said before moving on to shake the hand of the next prospective voter.

President Obama has said repeatedly that he and the first lady are practicing Christians.

Before that, Fiorina agreed with the same man on his assessment that Obama is a "dictator."

“Anybody other than the dictator we got up there,” the man said to Fiorina, referring to Obama.

Fiorina pointed to the president’s decision, announced earlier today, to reject the Keystone XL Pipeline.

“Yeah, today he just rejected the Keystone Pipeline and not that we’re surprised,” Fiorina said.

Fiorina's campaign did not immediately comment.

The White House declined to comment when contacted by ABC News.

Carly is DOA anyway. But I'm curious. Does ABC News call every candidate out on the carpet that doesn't correct every voter that calls some GOP candidate a racist?

I'm sure there are many who believe Obama is a Muslim. They are entitled to believe what they wish to believe and it's not necessary to correct them every time you disagree with them.

This is just not accurate.

Even if Obama is a secret Muslim as majority of GOP believes.. he is a half-black, half-white Muslim.

First Amendment?

So insults by some mentally nuts are part of the first Amendment? kind of reminds me on why Harper lost the Canadian election when they and their supporters used insults and lies.

Lets not forget that it was Hillary's campaign that started the birther/Obama is a secret Muslim stuff.

Why should Carly have "corrected" her supporter that said that? Are democrats expected to "correct" every supporter that calls some republican a racist even though said republican has denied being racist? I'm not a Carly fan. Her campaign is DOA. But this kind of smear by the liberal media is ridiculous. And we should call them out on this crap rather than going along with it because this time they're going after our opponent. They were smearing Rand this hard not too long ago and will pick up again if/when Rand picks up steam again. Does anybody doubt there's footage out there somewhere where someone says to Rand "Obama is really a Muslim" and Rand doesn't correct them? What's the "correct" response? "Well you know Obama has denied that and I believe every word he says." Yeah right.

Actually Obama kinda started it.



AngryCanadian, it's interesting that you're ready to dog pile on any slip Ben Carson does, or attack Carly Fiorina for not "correcting" a supporter, but you're giving Obama a complete pass. Why is that?

lol @ typical boobus that can't articulate a policy position they disagree with, but quick to throw out gosh-dern-moooslems as a slur.

Paul Duke of Washington Week in Review used to say "the American people have a constitutional right to be wrong." This message seems to be lost in the era (or error) of conformism-or-bust. No one knows what anybody is in their heart except the person himself or herself, as we can only presume their self-profession is accurate.

Given the track record of lies already established for Obarry, why should one necessarily believe his professions about his faith? Meanwhile, given the track record of his policies in the Mideast, which faith has most benefited---mainline Christians, or radical Muslims?

Well, he is black, and what exactly would Carly "correct" his religion to be? Most people assume Obama is an atheist, but he's never publicly admitted to being one. If he's not willing to admit his own religious beliefs, you can't fault others for making their own guesses. I think the most accurate statement would be that Obama is an atheist who sympathizes heavily with Muslims, but you can see why someone would make the jump from sympathizer to outright Muslim. Not much of a difference, to be honest.
