This thread is why it's more or less pointless for anyone who thinks differently than you open minded people to post here. You've found a lovely little poll to support a number of desperate misconceptions about who Americans are and who conservatives are – racist, homophobic, backwoods, anti-muslim, anti-whatever liberals concern themselves with in the moment.
Funny thing is, this poll has nothing to do with any of it, it just leaves an incredible gap for you all with prejudiced tendencies to draw these ridiculous conclusions about people who disagree with you. Anecdotally, I don't think I've ever heard the “n” word used negatively unless it's a college liberal with his guard down.
There was nothing in this poll that suggested that those who thought Obama was Muslim had any sort of problem with it. Most American's aren't as up Obama's ass as those under the tutelage of your average American college professor. They've grown up and out of that. They aren't as concerned or involved about Obama's personal life. So when a poll like this takes place most would only have to go on what Obama has said and done - which is go out of his way to support this mosque at ground
zero. Perfect opportunity for those who haven't grown up and out of "that" to go crazy. Thread case in point.
Not so unbelievably, I recall a near communal heart attack (admittedly the fake kind that liberals have perfected) with Bush praying daily was completely glanced over in this article. Not one of you here had a problem with Obama praying to God every day. Maybe he argues with God, but I have to assume he does it for guidance, which is what you all freaked over with bush. Here, let me remind you:
"The president is, obviously, he's Christian. He prays every day," White House spokesman Bill Burton said today aboard Air Force One.
"He communicates with his religious adviser every single day," Burton said. "There's a group of pastors that he takes counsel from on a regular basis. His faith is very important to him, but it's not something that's a topic of conversation every single day."
You've got sensitive liberals here bent about a bumper sticker they saw asking "where is the birth certificate". Liberals love bumper stickers, I'm sure you saw bush hanging by a noose on 10 times as many cars. The selective offensiveness is insane. Questioning a birth certificate makes you want to give up on America? Really?
The problem with the mosque is obvious, not that hard to figure out. But it's used as another opportunity for the real “crazies” to paint people what they are not. An entire population of people. When all you're schooling and circle jerks can't justify these lame attempts to pigeonhole rationale people with real concerns, you back down and say “I like to question things, I ask questions, that's what I do. I'm thoughtful.”
Pathetic.
