My teabag sister-in-law just accused Obama of not allowing Christians to the 9/11 "ceremony".......

[secondwind]

has anyone heard of this nonsense?

[trumad]

1. Yeah

in an insane asylum.

[Bunny]

2. You should have your SIL declared insane and committed to a facility.

[asjr]

3. That sounds like something Rush

Limbaugh would say. My ultra-right-wing brother-in-law thinks Rush is the smartest man on the planet.

[Bragi]

4. Yes, there was a secret executive order

It said that in light of the President's secret adherence to Islam, only Muslims can attend.

I missed the original announcement, but your sister-in-law obviously follows these things more closely than I do.

My condolences to your brother.

[Submariner]

5. I heard no religious LEADERS are allowed to speak at the memorial

so as not to incite religious hate speech at the ground zero event. Sorry, can't find link. Sounds like your SIL twisted the story like FoxPAC news.

6. They are all gathering at the mosque that was built on the Twin Towers site...

Prayer rugs provided for all!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

13. woven from the hair of dead american christians,

while their bones were ground up to make the mortar for the paths leading to the mosque.
It's true! I saw them doing it. Rush had the video!

[FSogol]

7. And then Obama will break open the 7th seal and socialism will rein in America for the next 1000

years! There will also be donuts.

:eyes: :crazy:

[Loge23]

10. I heard no jelly's.

That would be a deal-breaker!

(great post - made my day!)

[VWolf]

11. Mmmmmmmm. Donuts .....

</homer simpson>

[Tsiyu]

20. ....

:donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut: :donut::donut: :donut: :donut:

8. Well, actually

Mayor Bloomberg specifically did not invite ANY clergy to be part of the ceremony in NY. But then, he also state that none of the first responders would be part of it either, because there is "no room" for them.

I have heard nothing about who will be included in the ceremony at the Pentagon, though.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Mayor Bloomberg decided not to invite any clergy of any religion

to speak at the ceremony because he wanted the ceremony to be for the families. Christians were not singled out; no clergy were invited. The decision was controversial, as well, because he didn't invite the first responders. Obama, however, had absolutely nothing to do with any of it. http://www.snopes.com/rumors/responders.asp

12. Start out all replies to her with, "Wrong again, Sis. What actually happened is..." n/t

[secondwind]

14. Guys, thanks for the laughs! At least I can hit her with humor.... LOL

[a la izquierda]

15. Is she from Mississippi...

and was she at one point in the military??? If so, we may share a relative. Sounds like something my SIL would say.

[leftynyc]

16. Ask her for proof

Where did she hear/see it. You can debunk from there.

[nevergiveup]

17. I heard Obama also executed the order that they frisk people for bibles.

[Kurmudgeon]

18. If you would, advise her she is bearing false witness.

[Mr Deltoid]

19. When republicans I work with say crap like this:

I tell them, 'Prove it, show me your proof or your source' Of course they can't, they usually heard it 'in an email' so they lose their temper and walk away in a huff.

That usually ends it. :)

[COLGATE4]

26. Thanks for an inadvertent chuckle. You made me think of the

wonderful old Groucho Marx line: "She came in a snit and left in a huff. They just don't make cars like that anymore".

[karynnj]

21. Very convoluted - REPUBLICAN mayor Bloomberg planned a non religious ceremony

Obviously, Christians are allowed to come.

[LiberalFighter]

22. Ask her how the President of the USA has any control of what happens

in NYC?

[Mimosa]

23. Good tactic! n/t

[JTFrog]

24. mainly because half the people I was with believed it until I explained the situation to them

[CakeGrrl]

25. Considering that you would ONLY hear crap like this from Fox or Beck or Limbaugh

I didn't hear of it.

That's also because my inner sanctum is blessedly free of teabag relatives and friends, though it seems like a large portion of DU is one degree of separation from them.
