The Barack Muslim Rumor? Barack’s Reputation Management

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Barack’s Not a Muslim

You may have seen recent news about the Barack Muslim rumor. As a result of this and other smears, Obama has set up an “internet war room.” Rather than a place for Matthew Broderick and War Games, this internet war room is actually the site for a different kind of gamesmanship – the gamesmanship of reputation management.

You see, internet marketing isn’t just for blind-sided businesses and celebrities dogged by smarmy rumors. Even presidential candidates are susceptible to the powerful (and frankly, ridiculous) waves of hearsay that often stir the murky waters of the internet. In Obama’s case, he’s been plagued by false claims that he’s a terrorist, a Muslim, and simply unpatriotic. Apparently he isn’t fit for the Oval Office because he didn’t wear an American flag on his lapel for a few debates. That’s where American politics has sunk. If only the Founding Fathers could see us now. Poor Barack.

Muslim communities should be pitied as well. Despite what you may have heard, the Koran is not a manual of suicide bombing techniques, and there are many fine, peaceful Islamic communities around the world. Judging all Muslims based on Al Qaeda is like judging all Christians based on David Koresh and Jim Jones. The Barack Muslim rumor is not only false but racist.

In any case, Obama’s internet war room has been established to practice reputation management on the Barack Muslim rumor and other blather — a sub-field of the search engine optimization that we do every day.
