Fake $3 Bill With Barack Obama in Muslim Headdress Being Sold at GOP Booth at State Fair


This is totally preposterous and insulting. The latest smear campaign against Barack Obama comes courtesy of a $3 bill that has both Democrats and Republicans talking. The controversial bill features Barack Obama wearing a headdress, propelling a widespread myth that he’s Muslim. Some people find it funny, but I think it is insulting and totally ridiculous.

According to KOMO News, Carol Ronken found the bill at the Evergreen State Fair’s Republican Party booth.”It’s racist. It’s disgusting,” she said.

On the bill the words “da man” are printed under his face, perpetuating the myth. Obama is, in fact, a Christian.”To make money on top of it even makes it worse,” Ronken said. “They weren’t giving it way; they were selling it for $3.” Republican county chair Geri Modrell says she never approved the bill.”It’s not the policy of this party to use this low-level of humor,” she said. “Somebody thought it was funny. Somebody thought it was funny, that’s all,” she said. Modrell says she’s working to track down the person responsible, but says she doesn’t plan to conduct an extensive investigation. She says it’s tough enough to recruit volunteers and she doesn’t want to alienate another. I’d say, don’t hold your breath, the truth will never come to light.

Those bills are no longer being sold at the fair, but they’re available from several sources on the Internet. One Web site is even selling a pack of 25 for $5. Simply reprehensible.
