A verbal slip by Barack Obama, where he referenced “my Muslim faith,” unleashed tons of internet attacks.

The Democratic presidential candidate appeared on ABC’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos, which aired on Sunday morning.

It was somewhat humorous and ironic that Barack Hussein Obama was addressing what he referred to as “false rumors” that he is Muslim. Obama suggests that John McCain and his camp are responsible, according to ABC News.

Stephanopoulos reminded Barack Obama that John McCain had denied having anything to do with those religion rumors.

“You’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith,” Obama said, before being corrected by Stephanopoulos.

Obama pointed the finger at “the Republican camp.”

The quote became a magnet for comments on the YouTube.com video site and by bloggers as the day went on. Some people see this as confirmation that Obama is Muslim, while others just see it as an honest slip.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton was not amused. “Printing a blogger suspecting that Obama is a Muslim is pretty irresponsible and below the standards that we’re used to out of the Sun-Times,” he wrote in an e-mail.

Here’s the video of Obama’s interview with Stephanopoulos:
