Her views may not be shared by sun news but they do give her a pulpit to spout this type of diatribe.
I respect them for employing people they may disagree with editorially but I wonder if this vitriol shouldn’t have consequences beyond a notice that they do not share her views.
I really don’t think the Sun response is good enough. They print your column and I doubt your views don’t “reflect” the views of the Sun. They also seem to criticize those who are offended by the tweet by saying that they “misinterpret” it. As you pointed out, even if she wasn’t implying that Obama is muslim, in the context of her tweet she uses muslim as a negative adjective. She’s not getting a slap on the wrist, but a caress.
Of course he is a muslim. So what. Anybody who says different is lacking in basic intelligence. The only question that is relevant is concerns his receipt of foreign student grants towards tuition. Did he lie on his application or was he not a US citizen? Or was this simply a dishonest way to get admission when your marks aren’t up to par.

Does your “basic intelligence” recognize a trend in the above?
She’s got a very odd way of trying to eat back what she said. It was funny and sad at the same time!
It would appear she isn’t getting much attention at home. She’s backwards even by the standards of The Dark Ages.
