But that shouldn't have a hand in people thinking he's Muslim. A bad American perhaps. But connecting the church sitting incidient with that is like saying an apple is an orange.
No I'm saying people should know he went to church because of how much that was in the news. Well now that I think about it maybe the news ignored that story also. LOL

Didn't Obama change the official motto of the US " In God we trust" to "In Allah we Trust" I was pretty sure I saw it in a Dollar Bill yesterday LMAO

People are too intellectually lazy to think for themselves. It's much easier to ally oneself with a certain group and then just accept the party line.
Not sure if those go hand in hand.

Of course it does. People are sheep. They don't want to go to the trouble of acquiring an informed opinion, it's too hard and it takes too long. They just want to pick a team and have their leaders tell them what to think and who to hate. Nobody will admit it but how else do you explain the absolute mess that is our government? If the majority of the country was actually plugged into what was going on, would that nonsense about Obama being Muslim have even made the news? Of course not, it was bullshit, and the jackasses reporting it knew it was bullshit. They only did it because they knew they had an enormous audience of slack jawed idiots who would believe whatever silliness came out of the magic porn box in front of them.
God, I hate people.

Ok, some of those issues could be what party you follow but most of those things are just plan schooling or reading or the lack there of. I can't ever recall anyone ever saying Obama was Muslim. I thought the left excepted everyone so why would it even matter.

I think the lister better distinguish between geocentrists and people who do not believe the Sun in the absolute center of the universe or solar system, since the Sun is neither the center of the universe nor the solar system.

During the election, I repeatedly heard people say that Obama was a) muslim and b) not born in the US. Invariably, the commenters were of the uneducated portion of our labor force. Again, I'm a registered republican, but ignorance is ignorance.

Like Buster a lot of them really are "simple folks." Americans are by far the people with the most tools and information at their disposal yet they are the least informed. I wonder if it has always been like that? Perhaps America attracted the entrepreneurs and fortune seekers along with plain dumb folks who were ostracized in their motherland. I can see how you would want to leave if you're the town idiot.
