Campbell Brown - So what if Obama was a Muslim or an Arab?

[alexreid1983]

thanks for the message and yes its really true what even if he was an arab or muslim. Have muslims not contributed any good to this society. a person who knows a little history can really answer this well. but a mentally blank person like mccain and many more like maccain don't even know the fact the all arabs or all muslims are not bad...and they have contributed for huminity in many fields, medicine, anotomy, physics and much more..yes there r few radical muslims as same as you mr mccain

[janansparlai]

Playing games with peoples mind wont win any hearts.truth prevails.lies and coverups never go far.Islam and true muslims were and will be the winners

[zeeshan55]

great speech

[hassam24]

thanks campbell,,,,,,, we miss u so much!!

[MrPrince559]

Thank you cambll brown i love u for speeking the truth

[MickSeliem]

thank you .. :)

[deicer1962]

its not about beimg muslim or christian it is about telling the truth you are a very stupid reprter

[homehugsnharmony]

Since when?!? Since it was written in the U.S. Constitution, that's when!!! (DUH) In order to run for Office of the President, you must be a "natural born citizen" and you may not hold dual citizenship or multiple citizenships with foreign Countries. U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1.

So - regardless of which version of Obama's lies you choose to believe, his presidency violates the Constitution, but hey - that really shouldn't matter, right?

[MHaQuE32]

no 1 fucking cares anymore on people with personality.. its about if ur black.. ur bad or if ur muslim...ur a terriorist..SIRCERLY THTS SO FUKIN RETARDED.. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PEOPLE ARE THEY DO GOOD THINGS AND PEOPLE WHO DO BAD THINGS!!!

[SuperDarkangel777]

THIS WOMAN IS SO F....KING DUMB IT BEGGARS BELIEF . i mean people say yanks are dumb and poorly educated but F..k me they werent kidding .

i wonder what she thinks of that muslim shrink who shot 30 soldiers at that camp.

[ranel63]

@SuperDarkangel777 that's one Muslim. If all muslims were screwed up, trust me, there would be no West, or anything like that. Thank God, there are muslims, like me, who believe in tolerance and peace between nations.

[MIT1369]

@ranel63 So your an apostate then. You don't follow the teaching of the quran.

[norcalnupe]

Muslim is the new Nigger.

[masix0505]

Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world.There are 2 billion muslims on earth and every fifth person on earth is a muslim.Mybe it was 19 muslims who were involved the 9/11 but to call every fifth person on earth for terrorist and say that the religion contains terrorism is the stupiest thing.just don`t trust the media.if you wanna know what islam contains search it for yourself and you`ll see the truth.sooner or later everyone will know the truth especially those who live on prejudice.

[filmograf]

Another ignorant christian-american lady! like most numbed americans who are programmed by their emperial governments by TV and MASS MEDIA.

[tatiboy77]

i am an Arab and so what ,this people and not all of the Americans ofcaurse are the worst nation in the world ,we arab are too proud ,if you came to us with peace you get same ,you declare war you get worst , big love to all americans with mind

[tatiboy77]

the arabe are the only one who will free americans

from illuminati satanic , obama is freemason and member of trilateral group see vid , leo zagmati

[MrCoolguy6273]

obama is the anti-christ

[k8h8a8l8e8d8]

She's Right, That's The Truth :)

[ga3ongaya]

I guess we all know the answer to Campbell's question "so what?" The answer my dear is that he would not be the president :D with all due respect, don't the Jews control the world's politics, that US dominates ?? Would they seriously let that power into the hands of an Arab Muslim? I guess they might....

WITH PLANS OF ASSASSINATION FOR THE ARAB MUSLIM LEADER!!!!

Thanks God anyway he's not infected, thus he can live as the US president :)

[bobbyteb]

@ga3ongaya

I'm an American Jew and I would have no problem if Obama was a Muslim or not. And I completely agree with Campbell on this one.

You are hypocritical to depict all Jews as Islamaphobes just when we both agree that not all, in fact the overwhelming majority of Muslims are not terrorists.

[ga3ongaya]

@bobbyteb: I have to ask you this, Sir... You're saying that Jews don't control the politics of the world? It would be unbelievable to follow your argument the way you wrote it. Allow me to say also that you are the one who said that all Jews are Islamophobic not I, thank u :) The way I intend it is that Americans themselves don't care about the religion of their president for as long as he gives them hope of solving their own internal problems, but Jews care cuz politics is religion for them

[ga3ongaya]

@bobbyteb Thus, Muslims are no hypocrites when it comes to the way we depict most of the Western world :) Was it I or was a priest threatening to burn our holy book in Sept 11 this year because of the planned mosque? Whom are you calling a hypocrite? and how do you expect me to believe you that Westerners aren't hypocrites? :) Muslims aren't terrorists and it's not our religion. We promote peace and fraternity even with other religions. Pls consider your argument and research ur answer well.

[bobbyteb]

@ga3ongaya

What I'm saying is, even though there are members of the Jewish faith whose occupation is involved with the media and politics, it is irrational to say that every jew is somehow responsible for that. For example you wrote "...but Jews care cuz politics..."

Just like how it is irrational to think that because many terrorists happen to be a member of the Islamic faith it doesn't make all Muslims bad people. It should not happen the other way too.

[ga3ongaya]

@bobbyteb When we speak of Jews in politics, we speak of Israelies dear, not the people who belong to the Jewish religion, so Israelis are involved in politics either by force or by the people running their "territory". I didn't mention "Israel" cuz I don't see it on the map and I don't believe it ever exists, so I was trying to sugarcoat my words by saying "Jews" so that we don't develop another argument.

[ultrakool]

1:12, look up Walid Shoebat, Campbell. He'll answer that.

[theroomofrequirement]

thank you! seriously.

[arabmagic202]

i agree 6 million is way to much

amen to u cambell

[lolallday25]

i agree with everything she said!!!

god bless you!!!

[howdypadner]

WOW! God bless you for your courage! I hope you know where the true media control buttons lie...

[90oooo09]

Even though I am huge OBAMA supporter, I love McCain for his bravery in Vietnam and his class. He is a good man and he has my respect (although not my vote).

[schofie7]

i do not agree with her one bit it dose matter for sure i can not think of one muslim contry that i would like to live in... the states was founded by christians thats the only reason they are where they are they might not be in the best position right now but i would rather be there then in the middle east a minority cant be trusted to do whats best for the contry... and dont even get me started on demacrats the only things that keeps everyone down are librals and democrats

[saqiboy]

So MAC is saying that Arabs are not decent families ?? woho

[RangerDanger4x4]

not all muslims are terrorists but most terrorists are muslim.

[SudanWarrior]

RangerDanger, there are 1.4 Billion (with a B) Muslims around the world. If most of us were terrorists or resort to violence, we would rule the world by now. Of course, if we do that, we are not Muslims. Who started world wars I and II? Who dropped two nuclear bombs? Who killed the Native Americans? Who started the Spanish war? It was NOT the Muslims. Millitant Islam came to America because millitant America went to the Muslim world.

[RangerDanger4x4]

militant islam has had a few thousand year headstart with their "jihads" they have been killing people other than christians and Americans and They are not going to change.

[SudanWarrior]

RangerDanger4X4

My answer to you is a quote from Montgomery Watt: "the darkness ascribed to one's enemy is a projection of the darkness in one's self that is not fully admitted."

The so-called Christians of today DO NOT walk in the footsteps of Christ. The capital murder of the world is Washington DC, not Makkah:)

[salmanito]

Well said, warrior!

[karbela2000]

who killed 6 million jews? HITLER, who is hittler, he is christian not muslim.....

[robinstl70]

The Nazis were bad dudes but they did not kill 6 million jews. A realistic estimate is about 350,000 via malnutrition and disease. There were NO gas chambers. Look into it honestly and see the myth for yourself.

The 6 million myth was made up to create the decades long campaign of 'white guilt'.

[mjbalthus]

racist idiot!

[FrontPageStatuz]

lol seriously

[GettingtotheTruth2]

I was unaware that Eric Rudolph, Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, William Krar, the Irish Republican Army, the KKK or the Tamil Tigers were Muslim.

Oh, wait. They're not.

[whathitthefan]

And what are the Tamil Tigers?

[hamza1947]

Hindu....

[KillAzra]

and roman catholics

[Abe1659]

Very Well Said

[V0V0o]

omg she is talking with all her face ?

i hate all those fuckers who always pretending that : we r good & world can be good too .

[watchme2day]

Actually Obama is a Marxist who has terrorists and genocidal maniacs for friends. The Arabs love him because they know that when they attack us he'll try to talk to them. When they nuke the Capital he'll offer to sit down and discuss why they are so angry and of course he'll agree that the US is to blame for any and all ill in the world. All those who voted for Obama will rue the day.

[wildreams]

I would rather have a President who talk to ppl that seem like they wanna attack us than a President that tries to act arrogant and ignores ppl when they seem like they wanna attack us. Gimmi Obama anyday -.-

[kamilonaai3]

Proud to be a Muslim American. Proud to be an American. Peace to all Muslims, non-Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists, what have you. The time for awareness and self-education is now.

[bobbyteb]

@kamilonaai3 Amen from a Jew. Keep up the tolerance!

[ejc8707]

<3 campbell brown<3

[tiddliwinx]

thnk u campbell!!1

[MikeHawkins]

Fact: Obama's step-dad enrolled him as a Muslim in school in Indonesia, they have the papers of enrollment. His Indonesian step-dad adopted him and made him a citizen of Indonesia. Obama's gandma stated "I was so proud when my grandson barrack was born here in Kenya", google it, watch all the videos and proof, do a search on "October Surprise".

[garith21]

Factcheck: Obama was born in Honolulu, even if you decide to ignore the birth certificate for whatever reason people trying to dig for dirt found a local paper dating from Obama's birth date that had him being born in Honolulu. Now I guess you could say that they were planning his presidency since he was born, but good luck on that one.

[garith21]

Being a christian or not is irrelevant, Bush was a hard core reborn christian, it sure didn't do him much good.

If you want to talk about contradictions look at the actions displayed by republican candidates pre election and see what they're attacking Obama for during the election.

If you want to go the preacher route, we have Palin's who's a domestic terrorist that brags about chasing a woman out of town, and McCain's isn't really that clean a cookie either =) why are those okay?

[peaceoutpeople]

REspect to campbell for speaking her mind.

[FireGuyX]

I understand Campbell Brown is trying to make a point, but she really needs to clean up her attitude. She acts as if her way of thinking is the right way of thinking, which is utter bullshit. I cannot stand that.

[elomarmo]

Well because it is the right way of thinking, so what if he was an arab or muslim? would this make him less capable of running a country? If the Americans don't trust/ hate the Arabs and the muslims then why are they asking them for their help and their money in order to try to rescue the country from a financial crisis that they started, that's what I cannot stand!!!!!

[FireGuyX]

Obama is a christian with a muslim name. His father was a muslim and that's how he got the name Barack Obama, Jr. Obama was part of the "Trinity United Church of Christ" if anyone wants to doubt that he wasn't a Christian. And his former pastor is none other than the anti-american Jeremiah Wright.

[nbde1]

welcome to my favorite .. well said MRS .Brown ... by the way, just for record.. Arab is not a religion .. its a ethnic group in the middle east, you could be Christan Arab , Muslim Arab ,Jewish Arab or just an Arab who don't believe in any religion . its the same like in America , you could be Christian American , Muslim American, Jewish American etc.... beside , I don't judge people by where they come from or what is religion is.. deeds better than promises !!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

[coolindygirl]

Good Job Campbell! Was it Mark Twain or Ben Franklin who said, "There is nothing so uncommon as common sense.

****

Four stars for saying something so simple and filled with common sense yet as you correctly acknowledges needed to be said.

The America I was taught about in school has freedom of religion? When I pledge my allegiance to this country and what it stands for that includes respecting other peoples right to worship as they wish. Obama is American.

[82abhilash]

Whether you have an Arab origin or are a Muslim should not prevent you from standing in an election, however the voter may hold it against you. Nothing wrong with that.

[551520]

So proud of you Campbell. FIRST time ever when any JOURNALIST in any MAJOR US media ever spoke out s.thing like this. I wish if we had some more media personnels taken same initiative as you did, just to KNOCK the basic common sense in SOME ignorant's head. No one likes to be hated or to hate, its just every action/reaction...has/had/have a root cause and u are smart enough to know that Campbell but u won't dare to broadcast that for sure, don't blame u..need to keep ur job and patriotic title.

[barbiebitchx0]

Out of curiosity what if John McCain went to an "Whites-Only KKK" church for 20 years?

would that be tolerated?

[nlytend1]

kkk kill everyone that isn't white, i don't think obama's church does the same. kkk has a history of terrorizing every non-white american, obama's church does not have this. so how can you equate his church to the kkk?

[Mehriheart]

Thank you. That point has been driving me nuts the entire time. Religion and race should never have bearings in politics. They do, but what really matters are the words the person speaks and what policies they support.

[nnamdi247]

I know I'm not the only one thinking this... but I would wreck Campbell Brown's guts!!!

[arazasayeed]

That is a very strong correct answer by Campbell Brown. Ignorance is a big factor in the American World.

[awad10000]

She is right on the money does any one know her e-mail adress if so right above i want to thank her

[Gentle]

I am falling in love with Campbell Brown.

[GBart]

Not to mention it's UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!

"no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

[cheries5]

You are grand, Campbell! Great reporter! See my video response. Just glad that Obama stood up for himself and the truth at the last debate.

[MetallicaSk8boi]

is this bitch dumb or just an Obama supporter.

[lewisbell]

what is dumb? It is just saying that a persons faith shouldn't matter in any evenr

[el84oro]

she said the truth

[zosky7]

no, she's just a really smart lady that uses her brains, unlike some others that just have them as a head accessory

[z65]

Thank you campbell brown for making things clear.

[carolyrrh]

thank you ms cambell for sitting things straight ,i am so proud of you for speaking out for all americans , no matter what your way of life is. I hate the idea that we americans are so ignorant. with a strong dogma belief system that you must be chritain and nothing else to have great mormals.that's way people all over the world laugh at our ignornace. hopefully we will grow up before it's too late . thank you so much stay strong ms cambell

[mi6QBranch]

"...how it plays out in the Muslim world"...?????

What the hell is that? How about all those moderate Muslims start speaking out against the supposed 1 or 2% that make up the radical end of Islam. If the numbers vary so much, then take a stand and help stamp out this disgrace to your faith!

Until then the perception of Arabs will be as terrorists!

[neblad]

I didn't see Campbell Brown defending Mitt Romney's religion. I guess it didn't fit her agenda.

[lcswoosh]

I don't think she defended Obama's religion until now, either...

[BruinProfessor]

I didn't see dozens of examples of people making similar attacks at Dem rallies about Romney's religion. But nice job with that strawman argument.

[FinnHawk]

huh? nobody was calling Romney a non-mormon or non-white... The point is some people think Obama is arab/muslim/100% black (he's 50% white, 50% black and Christian)

[zosky7]

yeah and what if he is 100% black? How would that be different from our ex-presidents who were 100% white? Is it supposed to be acceptable to be 100% white or 100% christian but everything else is bad? Only a white christian will say something this ignorant

[zosky7]

well, seeing as he was just a blip on the presidential race and he did defend his religion by writing off others who were atheists, i don't see why ANYONE would want to defend him when he hides away by casting atheists as the "others" we need to fear

[nlytend1]

who, you mean obama or mccain?

[zosky7]

no, romney

[USADAVIS145]

Finally someone points that out, thank you.

[4ray]

Take the example of Bobby Jindal. The first time he ran for governor, he was not American enough, Christian enough or White enough for the Louisiana public. Then Katrina happened. And there was noone qualified at the State or National level to be of any help. It's Karma. If you elect a lesser candidate because of your prejudice, you will suffer. Unfortunately, the entire nation will suffer with you. Vote Obama. He's got better ideas and better people beside him.

[kray97]

Kudos to Ms. Brown for getting it...sadly she is one of the first in the MSM to do so.

[rockercrone]

Finally -- Thank you Campbell Brown! I've been saying this all along. I don't care if the best candidate is Muslim and takes the oath on the Koran, Jewish and takes the oath on the Torah, or Buddhist and takes the oath on -- I have to admit I don't know what the Buddhist holy book is. But you get my point. We are a nation founded on the idea of religious freedom. 'Bout time we practiced it.

[AnsaralZindiqi]

But do you know what the Q'uran is about in comparison to the Christian and Buddhist canons?

[sl8ted]

obama is christian and not a fucking muslim...and i cant stand how idiots in america look at muslim as terror or something..there are like 1 billion muslims in the world and maybe 5 thousand terrorist out of 1 billion

there are many more bad "christians" in the world

OBAMA-BIDEN 08

[amnesiai]

the thing that scares me the most...that woman that thinks obama is an arab is prob 70-80 years old. how many times has she voted??? there needs to be a quiz associated with voting. You don't pass a very easy quiz about both candidates your vote doesn't count.

[rockercrone]

...and "RoidenRichie" (see below) is one of those who wouldn't pass the quiz.

[trekinseattle]

It's all about the age old tale of devide and conquer.

Get everyone to be "us" against "them" It's much easier to acomplish goals if we first dehumanise people.

It's sad but it is also they way we have been doing it for a millenia now.

[travispickle]

Wow. Sexy, smart and courageous. I just came a little.

[habbah]

Thank you Campbell!

It's a shame you even had to SPELL it out like that, but at least you SAID something about it...

Thank you

[kookiemoose]

Thanks for pointing out the obvious, thats right up there with exsplaining how the wheel works.

[Hamidxa]

Well done Campbell Brown.

It's a shame in this day and age that people such as Campbell Brown have to go out of their way to dispel such xenophobic and ignorant viewpoints held by many throughout this otherwise commendable nation.

[SpitfireOFatj]

Two Words: Muhammad Ali. ;-)

[videmail]

Clearly the woman at the McCain rally, lacked the vocabulary to express her concerns.

Neither Obama or the media do anything to allay her fears. An example are the recent "reports" of his knowledge of Kenyan Tribal violence that go completely undiscussed.

Are these reports true?

Will we ever know?

Does it matter?

Yes it does.

[beki1217]

honestly i think that was set up by the McCain camp for publicity.

[emanitudism]

You can be born in the USA and be an Arab. Like the woman in the video says, this is stating the obvious.

If you do not know it yet, you have some serious self-education to do about your society, and the world.

Ignorance is a choice - choose to find out.

[tycar54]

Being an Arab does disqualify someone from the higest office. You have to be born in America to run for president. Otherwise Arnold Swarzenager would be in this election. Doi!

Obama ruels!

[Superman4ever]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Campbell!

[JDubs878]

I LOVE CAMPBELL BROWN. She's smart, she's well spoken and she's hot. Sarah Palin is none of these.

And its a shame that Campbell can't be travelling the country to speak about tolerance to all those people who are ignorant and would never consider voting for anyone who wasn't 'like them'.

[mommasigma]

Though our founding fathers were idealist, most of them owned slaves. Let's not get it twisted this country has never overcome racism in any fashion. Thank you Campbell. I thought that it had been said a little but not that clear cut. It is time to move upward. If you are intelligent and hard working, and qualify under the law then you can run. Ok, if you are good and caring and can articulate that to the citizens of the US, then you should be elected fairly (like Barack). Obama 08!!!!!!!

[utubefavorsdems]

Obama is taking a shot in the dark of winning this election.

[bagelred2]

Campbell Brown is obviously a terrorist and a traitor to our country. :)

[Alouette1968]

FINALLY. Thank you Campbell Brown!

[Virrginia]

In fairness to Senator McCain, I didn't hear that comment as "Arabs are bad" but as "No, he's not an Arab. And he's a good man." Still, the slur lingers, and there is no question that a very large percentage of his supporters honestly believe that all Muslims are potential terrorists. Sadly, while he had the integrity to call Senator Obama a good man who he simply disagrees with, he did not take the same time to stand up to the woman's racism/religious bigotry.

[hizzeldin]

Thank you Campbell. Finally someone in the media speaks out.

[mistahkleen1963]

The Muslim extremists are way outnumbered by law abiding, hardworking, peacefull people. But you can't tell that to a racist. Because racists are handicapped, like the people in your neighborhood that ride the short bus. Unfortunately for McCain, there are a lot of his supporters that think like this lady at the rally.

[JWFokker]

When did they become dirty words? Since forever. Not so long ago, people wouldn't elect a Catholic president, they still won't elect a Mormon and they probably won't elect a Jew. And Jews and Mormons haven't even blown up any Americans recently. It'll be at least 50 years until a Muslim has a shot at the Presidency in this country.

[Heat3YT]

This is the sad truth. For all the principles of the founding fathers sought to instill in this nation, the vast majority of people in America don't support those views. I wonder if they even know that they stand against what it truly means to be American! President Kennedy had to tell people that he would not take orders from the Pope. It took 100 years from the end of slavery for blacks to get the right to vote. It's taken another 40 years to get the first true Presidential candidate.

[rjhunt14]

Good for her! It's refreshing to hear tolerance advocated in the traditional media.

[djangst]

Don't forget General Abizaid, former USCENTCOM commander.

[MrFix3]

Well said Campbell.

[BuppiesTV]

You tell em Campbell!!
