12%? I'm surprised it's that low, considering Bush still has a 28% approval rating.

There are just some people who are so incredibly ignorant, it doesn't matter what you tell or show them to the contrary, they will believe whatever they want. I, too, am surprised it's only 12%.

But I got an email about it! It must be true!!!11eleven!!

In over 10 years I haven't been able to teach my cat any algebra either... some things are just not very easy.

This. There are people who believe that 9/11 was a government operation. There are people who believe that dinosaurs roamed the earth at a time when man did. Idiots are nothing new.

He's a dirty Moo-slim who goes to that Trinity United Church of Christ with the America-hating Reverend!

And he's an athiest! And he looks French!

Sadly, I have to agree with this...

Though I imagine there were some exploding heads across the country when Obama was shown wearing a jamulka (sp?) praying at the Wailing Wall.

I'm pretty sure everyone has heard by now. It's the eagerness to subsequently insist otherwise that sets the stupid bar.

muslim? i thought he was a secret rastafarian.

subby Since March, how effective has the Obama campaign been in educating people that Barack is not now, nor ever has been, a Muslim? Well... not so good well

FTFY

stupid people can be stubborn sometimes.

burndtdan: muslim? i thought he was a secret rastafarian.

Heh...the second one with Hillary and Obama smokin' a J is great... subtle, yet easy to read visually _ my favorite kind of 'shop.

What saddens me is that is has increased since March, from 10% to 12%.

I was at a party last night and had someone try to tell me the "truth" about Obama that the media was trying to "suppress". I asked him if he was registered to vote. Alas, he was.

I'll take "Willful Ignorance" for $1000, Alex....

What is "people will believe whatever they want if it reinforces their already farked-up belief systems"?

/Wow. With the questions on Creationism and Racism, I really cleaned up in that category.

Wait, he's not Muslim?

/Huh, learn something new everyday.

The GOP smear machine is alive an well.

/WAY more than 12% of America is retarded

Proving once again there is no cure for intentional stupidity.

Calling him a Muslim is the easiest way for people to think Nagger without having to actually say Nagger.

Identical percentages of Republicans and Democrats (12% each) think he is Muslim

So, where is the OUTRAGE that 12% of democrats think Obama is a MUSLIM???

bacccc: The GOP smear machine is alive an well.

Sounds like the DNC smear machine is kickin it pretty good too.

And Hillary has done an excellent job spreading said myth.

Here is my favorite one.

Reporter: "Y'know, he isn't a Muslim."

Dumbass Citizen: "Well, he is to me."

Philip J. Fry: Calling him a Muslim is the easiest way for people to think Nagger without having to actually say Nagger.

uh he's been on television a lot, I don't think there's anybody who doesn't already realize that he's black.

People don't want education. They want forwarded emails.

AzDownboy: subby Since March, how effective has the Obama campaign been in educating people that Barack is not now, nor ever has been, a Muslim? Well... not so good well

Thank you. That stuff drives me nuts.

When this comes up, I think about something Richard Jeni once said.

"I'm Catholic in the same way that a cow born in a tree is a bird."

Also still don't see why this is a negative aspect.

3_Butt_Cheeks: So, where is the OUTRAGE that 12% of democrats think Obama is a MUSLIM???

What? We all know of the existence of hillaryis44. Why should we manufacture outrage?

Americans have shown time and time again that we are delumoothemagiccow: They want forwarded emails.

I hope they're interested in enlarging their P3N15

Hey, if terrorists think he's a Muslim, they'll leave us alone.

Makes perfect sense. So Hillary supporters (long time democrats) think Obama is a Muslim?

Ace Frehley's Ghost: "You know, there are plenty of reasons why someone might not want to vote for Obama, but he's not a Mulsim, he's an evangelical Christian."

Stupid, email-forwarding coworker: "Well sure, he says he is, but how do you know?"

Ace Frehley's Ghost: "You can say the same thing about anyone. I only have your word that you are really a Christian, how can a really know for sure?"

Stupid coworker: "LA LA LA! I'M NOT LISTENING TO YOU!!!"


So, yeah... I think it might have something to do with willful ignorance...

Maybe people just don't believe him?

for some reason I doubt those people would be voting for a nagger regardless of what god he prays to...

Look, saying Obama is a Muslim is just code for "I think that Obama is too black/left/tolerant and I like to piss off liberals."

It's like when I tell pollsters that I firmly believe that George W. Bush is mentally retarded. I actually believe in my heart of hearts that the president is certifiably retarded.

Love Boat: WHARRGARBL!!!1!

I stopped reading at the part where you claimed that you think.

I don't care in the least what his religious (gasp...religion!) preferences are. I DO care what his policies are, and how he plans to implement them.

3_Butt_Cheeks: So, where is the OUTRAGE that 12% of democrats think Obama is a MUSLIM???


dude, have you ever been to south boston? go down there and express your outrage to them, i'd like to see that...

Tallgordon: It's like when I tell pollsters that I firmly believe that George W. Bush is mentally retarded. I actually believe in my heart of hearts that the president is certifiably retarded.

"Retarded" is offensive and not politically correct sir.

Love Boat: Actually, I think he's an athiest. The idea of anything in the universe being superior to himself would not be something Barack Hussein Obama could accept. This, we know. (new window)


Still, what do we really know about his faith? We know that he thinks red-state voters 'cling' to their silly little religion. We know that he hasn't payed any attention during the last 20 years while 'worshiping' at Trinity Church. Can any of you hate-filled Fark.com liberals actually picture your hero (and deity) 'praising Jesus'? Wouldn't that just disgust you?

We also know that both his daddy's were muslims, he was born a muslim, it says muslim on his birth certificate, he went to a muslim school and his entire extended family his muslim.

But Barack Hussein Obama? Why would anyone suspect he's a muslim?

Karl Rove would be so proud. Passing so many lies in 7 little sentences, you should get a medal from the administration.

Never been. Just pointing out that just as many democrats as republicans think he is a muslim, but they get a pass? Republicans are stupid rasict God worshipers, and the 12% of Dems who think the same way are what?

3_Butt_Cheeks: Makes perfect sense. So Hillary supporters (long time democrats) think Obama is a Muslim?

Or I could be saying that a small group of democrats rabidly oppose everything about Obama. They do so with little regard to things like facts, the truth, or mathematics. I don't expect rational discourse from people whose arguments boil down to "If we were playing 'winner-take-all', Hillary would have gotten a big boost tonight; she is going to be the nominee!" when the delegate math got worse for her each week. Just being a democrat doesn't make one a rational actor; just like being a republican doesn't make you a Constitution-raping, warmongering, person in favor of a highly economically stratified society. In each instance, there are trends, but there are also statistical outliers.

On an unrelated note, when will the dictionary Firefox uses for spell-checking finally include the words "Barack" and "Obama". Aren't they being used enough, yet?

racist xenophobic republicans are wussies that hide behind the government and do stupid rallies, racist xenophobic democrats will put your mouth on a curb and step on the back of your head, nobody's telling those people what to do...

Hmmm..I pretty much agree with that.

As far as FireFox, I have it but don't use it much.

Mostly stupid racists. I wouldn't include God-worshipers as a term descriptive of either group.

All I have to say to that is there are a lot of democrats in West Virginia.

Love Boat: blah blah blah

Wow. Just...wow.
Either that, or you're a troll and I'll give you a C- because it doesn't take much creativity to paste some shiat from an email from your uncle, but good work sticking to it.
