A WV Voter Proves Her Ignorance
As someone with family members in WV, PA, and OH, all I’ve heard about is “Barack Obama’s a Muslim”
Few things are more ridiculous. There are so many problems.
1) Obama is a Christian, and not a Muslim. It just proves the ignorance that is abound in over 30 million Americans who believe this. Oh the power of internet spam e-mails.
2) Even if a candidate were Muslim, who cares!? What, now candidates shouldn’t be elected because of their religion? This was supposedly a problem for Kennedy being Catholic in 1960. Why would that be a problem? Prejudice. Mitt Romney being a Mormon faced prejudice this year. And Lieberman in 2000 faced prejudice for being Jewish in 2000.
Enough is enough.
But, proving how ignorant some voters are, above is a clip from a voter on Good Morning America this morning.

I try to stay as a-political as possible but I am truly appalled by all of the discussion about race & religion in this campaign! I don’t care if you are black, yellow, orange or green, Muslim, Catholic, Mormon or Jewish - can you bring all the parties together to effectively run the United States?
And to have people out there who don’t vote for a person simply because they are a man or a woman, black or white, religious or not is just plain ignorant. There are much larger issues at stake - and do some research before you are willing to speak on camera about your views, otherwise you’ll just look stupid!
