If we could all just put the predetermined narrative down for a moment...

[MobBoss]

There were folks who thought Kennedy was evil because he was *gasp* Catholic.

Today, people think that Obama is a Muslim and that's bad, because the US doesnt have freedom of religion or anything.

Do you think Obama would have won the election if he admitted to being a practicing Muslim?

Heck, Muslims are only slightly more trusted than Atheists in this country. It would have sunk his chances for sure.

This is sad but true; we atheists are despised for no good reason, while Muslims are rather mistrusted without good cause.

Colin Powell would have still voted for him.

Obama has never stated, nor has anybody else ever proved, that he is Muslim, practicing or not.

@ Erik

At this point, I can do naught but laugh.

Wait, what are we laughing at? I'm sure it's hilarious and we would all love to hear it. Of course, with your superior intellect, you might want to dumb it down a bit.

Only if McCain fessed up to acting like John Edwards.

Yeah, shame on Obama for only being half-white.

 

[Holycannoli]

What what now??



So all these people are simply confused? They seem to be in agreement in spirit with a lot of the things Obama argues for (with the health reform being the main exception it seems)...

...

You know what, I'm gonna blame these people for being almost sole responsible for this mess:

You're blaming them for the majority of america? For watching the most watched news network in the country?

When you badmouth Fox, you badmouth the country. You gotta understand the majority of the country feels this way, and agrees with Fox and therefore watches it. But hey you go on thinking the majority of the country instead embraces liberal, progressive MSNBC views, and that the future of liberal progressive politicians is secure...

 

[Phrossack]

Fox has a few million viewers. Not 150,000,000+. And even if that were true, ~150,000,000 Americans would still not "feel this way".

 

[JollyRoger]

The majority of Americans don't view Fox, just a plurality that choose to get their tv "news" from somewhere other than CBS, NBC, and ABC.

How could you possibly conceive of the idea that badmouthing a bunch of liars is the same as badmouthing a country? Especially when that bunch of liars is spreading false information intended to try and get fools to hurt the country?

 

[Shadylookin]

Doesn't that make them elitist? Which means I'm not supposed to listen to their opinions right?

I'd like to see a poll of actual voters instead of just the general public, since 40% of the general public doesn't even vote on presidential elections.

 

[JollyRoger]

Yeah, those ivory towers types making sure their pinkies are properly aligned as they tea party.

It's monday, I'm feeling cranky and then you come along and brighten it up with funny stuff like this. Thanks brother.

You gotta understand the majority of the country voted for Obama campaigning with a plan for National Healthcare, and the VAST majority does not watch Fox

Whoops!
