You can fool americans: Obama's Faith

[ShaE]

You can fool them pretty good.
Apparently 12% of voters polled still think he's Muslim, despite the widely publicized Wright business, then a quarter of voters polled think he was raised in a Muslim home. Brilliant, once again.

Even with all the information repeatedly published, verified, documented, re-run over and over, you have a hefty % of idiots who remain ignorant about BASIC provable facts in someone's life. Very comforting.


He is now a Christian, having been baptized in the early 1990s at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. But rumors about Obama's religion persist. In the new NEWSWEEK Poll, 12 percent of voters incorrectly believe he's Muslim; more than a quarter believe he was raised in a Muslim home.

lol go to the middle of this country .....its not to hard to fool them with anything

[ShaE]

How is anyone supposed to engage in, and follow, a substantive discussion on very complex topics if they can't even grasp the documented facts about someone's background and life?

You mean to tell me these people who think he's a muslim in disguise- oo scary- are perceptive and informed enough to follow the debates that need to be held in this country? Please. He has dark skin, his name's barack HUSSEIN, he lived abroad, and had a father who convered from Islam to Athiesm so, it must mean, HE'S MUSLIM!

The power of irrational fear and willful ignorance.

Wow that is truly SAD

Wow that is truly SAD

It's like, what do you have to do with these people? His CHRISTIAN PASTOR was lambasted all over national television, to obama's detriment, and you still think he's muslim?

it's either paranoid, or stupidity, possibly both.

or maybe it's that photo he took in somalian dress, that you better believe none of these ass backwards people could grasp the difference between "terrorist turban" and somalian traditional garb. pathetic.

im not surprised esp since between 8 and 11 percent of Americans believed as of August 2002 that Elvis was still alive, 25 years after what was reported to be his death
This is the gene pool we are dealing with

Who was it that just commented in another thread about conspiracy theories and how they can't stand them?

I can't stand stupidity. These people either don't have televisions and can't read OR they think obama has crafted this entire charade of christianity in order to mask his true muslim self in a vast conspiracy to fool american voters.

christ.

I think these people just believe what they wanna believe. Ignorance is bliss...they are content with holding onto something that will serve to reinforce their hate. If they associate Muslims with negativity, it is in their best interests to believe that Obama is one.

It reminds me of mccarthy lol
Just IMPLY, hint, even find a fragment of an association with something, and you're labeled for life, and no amount of factual evidence to the contrary can wipe it from peoples' minds.

Stupid fox news erroneously says he attended a radical muslim school in indonesia+ his middle name's hussein+his dark skin= A MUSLIM in the mind of every moron american, and there's no way you're changing it, b/c they're scared and don't really care to be told any differently.

They can't come right out and oppose him b/c he's black, but they can b/c he's muslim, so that's the route they're gonna go.

[metfan85]

Kinda makes me question my stance on doing away with the electoral college lol

i think the senators should be chosen by the state legislators again

[ShaE]

what little boucers ignorance..or the dumb fucks who still thinks he is muslim?? lol .. goes both ways huh??

see the thing is jamez, there's some truth in what he's saying. there's no truth in obama being muslim.
there are parts of this country with distinct characteristics. some more religious, some more secular, some wealthier, some poorer, some blacker, latino, whiter, and i'd venture to say some areas where people are more well informed and educated, and areas that are more prejudiced. go ahead, pull up testing scores and performances around the nation and you tell me where the people are falling behind. cities, sure, rural areas? you betcha. thing is, cities tend to be more tolerant of diversity, rural areas? not so much. go ahead and poll which areas of the nation follow politics, keep informed, and stay up on the news. i guarantee you, it isn't west virginia by a longshot.

you're lying to yourself if you don't think you can follow trends of where people are most suspicious of a dark skinned man who they dont' believe to be christian.

I was referring to the stupidity of ppl who still believe him to be a Muslim.

And as for LittleBouncer's comment, I think we can all take an educated guess about the kind of people who fit the bill for this type of ignorance lol.

Apparently recognizing the demographics of (some) of these people is ignorant lol

That's not to say there aren't racist or religiously prejudiced people in the urban arena, or outside the midwest or south, of course there are. But generally, a smart person is presented with facts that are verifiable about a candidate, and they will accept them.

youi mean like howard beach?? ..i dont buy people in "rural" areas are dumb or prejudice ..or city people are smarter..thats such a disgusting prejudice way of thinking ..Obama won states with 98% white populations .. there goes your argument whoops

No please tell me i never met one .. you obviously have or how would you know?? you wouldnt be basing your argument on Pre-judging aka prejudice .. wouldnt that make you just as ignorant as the people who believe obama is musklim?? ya see i think both are ignorant ..how about you?

[ShaE]

yes, there are def racist overtones in howard beach. but you'd definitely find more in the south as a whole than the north.

i didn't say rural is stupid, city is smarter, the city is full of failing schools too, but you can measure and calculate the areas of the country that do poorly. the areas that send kids to college, and ones that have their kids drop out of high school en masse. you can measure these things, saying that doing so makes you ignorant is silly.

what argument? i'm well aware obama did well in white populations. my argument is not about OBAMA, it's about there being nothing wrong with identifying certain portions of the nation and the beliefs/attributes/ and statistics that apply to them.

you called it ignorance, my argument is that it's not.

The kind of people she said, how do you know she didn't mean STUPID people?

How do you know she was referring to where they lived and not what they are? Dumb.

Yes you are dumb, if you believe he's muslim at this point,d espite evidence produced to the contrary on a grand scale.
