German Hate Blogs Erupt Over Obama’s Cairo Speech

President Obama's tour de force address to the Muslim world in Cairo was generally praised by the press around the world as a balanced effort to begin a new relationship with the over 1 billion followers of Islam alienated by the US foreign policy over the past eight years. 

But for the anti-Muslim hate blogs in Germany, the president's speech was yet another example of "Hussein's" treachery and secret affinity with terrorists. Leading the pack, of course, was Politically Incorrect, which accused President Obama of lying Warum lügt Barack Hussein?  In his speech, President Obama praised the contributions of American Muslims:

For the hate-bloggers, this is unacceptable, since Muslims are incapable of any positive contributions; ergo President Obama was lying. In fact, he was lying because he himself is a Musel (derogatory term for Muslim) Ist doch ganz klar: weil museln lügen, sobald sie ihr maul aufmachen…(It's quite simple: Musels lie whenever they open their mouths.) Of course, a simple search reveals that the President was NOT lying. In lauding the achievements of American Muslims, he singled out those
who excelled in our sports arenas (Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jababr,
Ahmad Rashad, and many others), won Nobel Prizes (reference to, among
others, Ahmed Zewail, an Egyptian-American who won the 1999 Nobel Prize
in chemistry), built our tallest building (Fazlur Rahman Khan,
Bangladeshi-American structural engineer, considered “the greatest
structural engineer of the second half of the 20th century” for his
constructions of the Sears Tower and John Hancock Center), and lit the
Olympic Torch (again, Muhammad Ali).

Then there is the well-known hate-blogger who blogs anonomously under the name Kewil at Fakten-Fiktionen, who wrote a review of the speech – Obama ist ein armseliger Naivling (Obama is a pitiful naivling)  – even though he admits he refused to watch or read it:

What really bothers Kewil and the others is that President Obama enjoys enormous popularity In Germany – as he does in America.

Finally, there is what passes for "intellectual heft" on the far-right, the blog of Gudrun Eussner, who has a detailed "analysis" of President Obama's Cairo address and comes to a conclusion that reads like the worst kind of parody that we hear from Fox News:

Die Präsidentschaft Barack Hussein Obamas ist eine einzige Lüge,
angefangen bei seiner bis heute nicht im Original veröffentlichten
Geburtsurkunde über Ergebnisse seiner Studienzeit, seine politischen
und privaten Freundschaften bis zur Zusicherung, er werde sich immer
dafür einsetzen, daß Ostjerusalem zu Israel gehöre und Jerusalem
ungeteilt bleiben solle. (The presidency of Barack Hussein Obama is one big lie, beginning with the lack of an original birth certificate to his work as a student, to his political and private friendships to his guarantee that he would always ensure that East Jerusalem remains part of Israel and Jerusalem would remain undivided.) 

The New York Times struck exactly the right tone in its editorial on President Obama's Cairo speech:

When President Bush spoke in the months and years after Sept. 11, 2001,
we often — chillingly — felt as if we didn’t recognize the United
States. His vision was of a country racked with fear and bent on
vengeance, one that imposed invidious choices on the world and on
itself. When we listened to President Obama speak in Cairo on Thursday,
we recognized the United States.

Frau Eussner and her friends on the extreme right were much more comfortable with President Bush's "us versus them" world vision.  In their constant hate-mongering against our new president they are displaying a profound anti-Americanism.
