Sandy Rios Once Again Cites Fake Obama Quote

The American Family Association’s Sandy Rios, who has repeatedly suggested that President Obama is a secret Muslim who uses Islamic subliminal messages during his speeches, is upset that people say she calls Obama a Muslim.

“I don’t think that Barack Obama is a Muslim. I think he has strong Muslim sympathies because he’s been raised in that culture,” she said on her radio program today, adding that Obama is a Marxist who “doesn’t really believe in God but loves the Muslim culture.”

She insisted that the president has “actually written about in his book that if there was ever some kind of conflict, he will always come down on the side of Islam.”

Rios is actually citing a fake quote that was widely circulated on the Internet but was not actually in Obama’s book “The Audacity of Hope.” This, of course, isn’t the first time that Rios has used a fictitious chain email or fabricated remark and reported it as true…in fact, she has cited this very same quote to claim that Obama’s “sympathies are most definitely with Islam.”
