RANDOM: Austan Goolsbee asks Doug Holtz-Eakin if he's Muslim

[FideTheProducer]

LMAO! "IS THAT SOCIALISM? ARE YOU A MUSLIM?"

[gratefulundead9]

"Is that socialism? Are you Muslim?"

Ahaha, Jon Stewart was right. ("You're all right, Goolsbee.")

He has that in-your-face, Chicagoan streak. :)

[tehchet]

This man is a bonesmen and part of obamas staff its politics as usual man. hes so smug and smooth, the kind of confidence that comes with being in an ivory tower.

[MrMeter]

I agree with AshillaBeige, the context of the statement of perfectly understable, but it extends beyond this clip 1 minute clip. The republicans have been throwing mud all the way up to the elections, accusing everyone of being a socialist and constantly referring to Obama as being a muslim. Offcourse most of the people responding to this video merely see it as a reason to go "wtf liberal trash!" :)

[AshillaBeige]

SHAZAM

That wasn't... random.

Even I understand the context and use of that statement... and I'm an effin' Canadian.

[Dreadmore]

what a stupid prick, only a democrat could be fooled by this kind of bullshit.

[ashylarrymp]

Goolsbee is a total tool.

[thequotient]

Goolsbee is so SOLID.  Awesome.

[neologist]

What a condescending tool. I'd have slapped that attitude off his smarmy face.

[nickj077]

What the hell?

[indymaestro]

WTF?

What with Biden's monumental gaffe, and people seeing through the empty suit that is Obama, looks like the wheels are finally starting come off on this whole farce of a campaign and candidate who is OBVIOUSLY not ready to be the POTUS.

But I bet i'll get Obamabots telling me i'm wrong ;)

*Zombie chant*: oh-ba-mah, oh-ba-mah, oh-ba-mah, brrraaaaiiiinnnss

OR Douglas Holt-Eakin, are you some other term that is ignorantly used to smear Obama?

Holt-Eakin, the genius that said McCain is responsible for the Blackberry!  Go take a nap, or read up on your opponents policies, since the economic contrasts is supposed to be your job!

[TalkingFrog]

what a moronic attempt to play the race card. Has there ever been a campaign more dishonest than Obama's? Is this a preview of what we can expect under an Obama administration--every serious objection met with the implication that the questioner is racist?

Not much of a post-racial candidate here.

[jboze3131]

The McCain camp has never said that Obama is unamerican. They've gone out of their way to say that Obama is, in fact a good and decent family man who loves his country. They could kiss his feet as a king, and people would still bogusly claim they've called him unamerican. McCain even corrected a woman at one of his rallies who said Obama was a muslim but pointing out that he's a Christian.

These are lies, plain and simple.

[detriniman]

The McCain campaign and by some extent the RNC have gone lengths to demonize everything they see to be different - unAmerican.

All the guy seems to be doing is poking fun at their silly tactics.

[canditaylor68]

More proof when you question them-they call you names and attack you, but why use "Are you a Muslim?" as an attack?

The Obama camp seems to be trying the same tactics as Odinga-baiting while encouraging followers that its ok to accept socialism and that everyone else is wrong about it-and then telling them to get in our faces......

[cooks2006]

"joepatriot"

Only a stupid lefty would call himself that.

[hansmensch]

WTF?
