This kind of puts it in perspective a little

According to Pew (.pdf), about 10 percent of Americans believe Obama's a Muslim; other surveys have found higher numbers.
One relevant piece of context: Large minorities of Americans consistently say they hold wildly out-of-the-mainstream views, often specifically discredited beliefs. In some cases, those views should make them pretty profoundly alienated from one party or the other.
For instance:
22 percent believe President Bush knew about the 9/11 attacks in advance.
30 percent believe Saddam had weapons of mass destruction.
23 percent believe they've been in the presence of a ghost.
18 percent believe the sun revolves around the Earth.What this means: Obama may well be elected president with a substantial minority of the citizens despising him and convinced that his beliefs are irreconciliably foreign to theirs. Which, after all, is the current state of affairs. It's only that the people who believe those things about Bush and the people who believe those things about Obama live in different parts of the country.

"BUt he's not from somewhere else. He's American."
"Yes, but he's a muslim."
"No, he isn't.."
"Well, I don't agree with that..."
Ah...more magical thinking..just not beliving in facts apparently makes them go away...fucking brilliant way to run a country into the fucking ground.

Personally I think there should be a quiz to vote when you step into the booth and based on the amount of questions you get right the more your vote counts, nothing super hard maybe 5 multiple guess questions, but enough to weed out the retards. Whether its hillbilly's who don't like someone b/c of there skin or ghetto's who only reason for liking someone is b/c of there skin the tards need to be filtered

You can't believe that ignorant people can be dredged up to disparage anyone or any point of view? Cool, gimme your credit card info. and I'll send you some more amazing stories.
By the way, the people who say they can't get behind Obama because they don't have a good idea of who he is or what he stands for are just being honest. I think a lot of Americans feel the same way. He is, in many ways, and enigma.

Isn't there some way to pay the Vietnamese to take John McCain back?
- dog_opus0
Ignorant and/or hateful people think and say ignorant and/or hateful things. I've seen some pretty vile ad hominem vilification against McCain right here on this forum. It's wrong when anyone acts disgracefully. People should stick to ideology and issues, I think.
