Powerline Fissure?

One can hope!

Scott Johnson (Not-Assrocket) hehindeeds Frank Gaffney's loony "Obama is a Muslim" column, a work against which all others must be measured.

The third Powerliner, Not-Not-Assrocket, rather than praise his colleague's extraordinarily powerful corndog intellect, reports that he, in fact, would like to get off the crazy train:

Gaffney's claim that Obama is our first Muslim president is quite far-fetched (as was Morrison's statement that Clinton was our first black president, but Morrison is not a serious analyst) and his suggestion that Obama may be a Muslim seems baseless.

Obama was engaged in Muslim "outreach." In my opinion, that's a fool's errand and probably dangerous too -- as it was when President Bush tried it. But if you're going to make the attempt in a serious way, then it makes sense to throw around the various catch-phrases that Gaffney cites and, more generally, to speak to Muslims from "inside their perspective ".

I also disagree with Krauthammer's claim that Obama made statements that delegitimize the state of Israel.

Not-Assrocket, dude -- your fugly friend just called you out.
