<p>ABC <a href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2010/10/is-obama-skipping-temple-over-headgear.html" target="_self">reports</a> that Obama is passing on India&#39;s Golden Temple:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>President Obama will skip visiting one of the country’s most sacred shrines out of fear that wearing the requisite headgear might make him appear Muslim &#8230;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Joyner <a href="http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/obama-skipping-sikh-temple-visit-to-avoid-looking-muslim/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+OTB+%28Outside+The+Beltway+|+OTB%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader" target="_self">strikes</a> the right tone in response:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Let’s hope this report is wrong because it would be truly embarrassing for the leader of the free world to risk insulting an important ally — the second most populous country on the planet — because it might fuel an idiotic conspiracy theory at home.&#0160; Especially considering that the Sikhs aren’t even Muslim.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Sigh. The only way to fight FNC/RNC propaganda is to stare it down defiantly. Never let them see you afraid. Never concede the point to liars, bigots, and charlatans.</p>
