Who Is “Jon Christian Ryter”?
According to his website, it’s a pseudonym for a one-time reporter for the Parkersburg, West Virginia Sentinel, who wrote a syndicated column called “Answers From the Bible,” and who is now an advertising executive at the Washington Times. He is a contributor to a far-right wing website called News With Views, and writes stuff like “When America Was A Real Place To Be Proud Off” (I think he means “of”). Great times like these:
When I was in high school, most male teachers had a large paddle, drilled with air holes to make sure paddle made solid contact with your behind when you got smart.
But what caught my attention was the screed on Obama from January called “Obama’s Muslim Connection“. Sadly, it appears this kind of ugliness isn’t going away anytime soon.
In 1991 a young Muslim Harvard Law College graduate named Barack Hussein Obama (who has denied his Islamic past and Muslim roots for as long as he has been a public figure) became a civil rights community activist working out of the Trinity United Church of Christ. Obama worked as a community organizer for Trinity in poor black neighborhoods. Trinity’s senior pastor Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr, a black racist, who preached radical Afrocentric theology and didn’t mind delivering profanity-spiked sermons found a congregation-builder in Obama. Because of what Wright called Obama’s multiple-faith background and his Harvard education, he was a natural community-builder.
When Obama broke onto the national political scene in 2004, not only did he attempt to erase all traces his Islamic childhood, but he also tried to erase the nature of his relationship with Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr, the pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ. (When your country is at war with Islamic extremists being a Muslim is not the shortest route to the White House.)
“Jon Christian Ryter” goes on to proclaim:
They need to ask the man who he really is because, up to this point on the campaign trail, he has lied to them.
Interesting that this comes from a man who uses a “pseudonym” and does not reference his real name. Mr. “Ryter”, you want to know who Barack Obama is. Let’s start with this: Who are you?
Yon Christian Writer?
Anyone capable of homonyms this bad must be gay–a pun for which I apologize preemptively to the homosexual community.

“When America Was A Real Place To Be Proud Off” – So he’s not proud of America. Shame on him. He’s as bad as Michelle Obama.

Gen. Omar Bradley, who bore a Semitic, Muslim first name, and shared it with the second caliph of Sunni Islam, was the hero of D-day and Normandy, of the Battle of the Bulge and the Ruhr.
Would Cunningham see Omar Bradley as un-American, as an enemy because of his name?
Gen. George Joulwan, former NATO supreme allied commander of Europe? “Joulwan” is an Arabic name. Or there is Gen. John Abizaid, former CENTCOM commander. Abizaid is an Arabic name. Abi means Abu or “father of,” and Zaid is a common Arab first name. Is Cunningham good enough to wipe their shoes? Is he going to call them traitors because they have Arabic names?

So what makes him a good man? Your relation to Ryter? What are you proud of? His lies? Anything that can’t be backed up just aint true, in my mind.

So the guy uses a pseudonym for a name ? does that discount what he posted? Probably not but its the best shot the liberals can do to avoid Obama for truly being exposed for who he really is.
Most people as on air or writers have some type of pseudonym (”sunny skys” your local weather reporter…on and on..) how about you look at what he actually posted and try not to take focus off the material. can you ? how about investigating the material before you slander the nick name.

Anything that cannot be disproven is then a truth? Even if only a 10th of what Jon Christian Ryter wrote is true, then Obama is a scary scary individual to the future of this country. Read the material, and comment on that.

Its so sad that you bible toting Christians have more hate in your blood then a man that is suppose to be a Muslim and what is so wrong with having a different religion then that of 80% of Americans today. Yes most people are Christians but you have a percentage of people that are law bidding citizens that love our great country and want change and they aren’t from a small town (Thats for you Sarah Palin lovers). Please people stop listening to what people spout off on their soap boxes and be accountable do your research find the true facts on these candidates. In Sarah’s case just listening to her speak! Don’t just vote on what you have heard vote for the candidate that will benefit not just you but our country. Some conservatives that I heard from are so selfish they don’t want to help their neighbor unless that neighbor makes just as much as them they do and don’t think that the amount of Americans without health care has skyrocketed since Bush(not the daddy) was in office. Do your research and stop being led by your nose
