Iowa Republicans: Obama Is a Muslim
After President Obama's pre-Super Bowl interview with Bill O'Reilly Sunday, about half the members of an Iowa Republican focus group apparently shocked their host by asserting that they believe the president is a Koran-carrying member of the Muslim faith. Never mind that the biggest headache of Obama's presidential campagin was his (Christian) pastor, and his staff won't let him be photographed with anything resembling a turban on his head. Several focus group participants were convinced Obama was a Muslim, and his faith was informing his policies on the Egyptian uprising. National Review editor Rich Lowry was surprised ("Wow"), while Mother Jones writer Kevin Drum was surprised Lowry was surprised ("Has Lowry watched Fox?"). But the Atlantic's Conor Friedersdorf gets it: "Lowry, who hangs out with a bunch of other media types "is esconced in a subculture of conservatives who don't take that stuff seriously," but the average Fox viewer has no idea that media-savvy conservatives think Glenn Beck is a joke. And Friedersdorf believes Lowry and others are doing a disservice to their credulous readers by not calling out the right's most outrageous voices. Conservative are "suffering," he says "because too many voices who know better are complicit in the fiction that populist right-wing entertainers are trustworthy."

One can only shake ones head on how STUPID some Republicans and Tea Baggers can be. Fox News and Hate Radio has some Americans so afraid, they believe almost anything. Geeze, it reminds me of this guy..

5. I wish he was a closet atheist...
...or practiced Shinto, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism or any damn thing other than the republican fundie brand of Xtianity, which is where his policies suggest he's heading.

9. I heard that fundies (Republicans) in Iowa believe that it should be legal
to marry a girl as long as they are 13.

They think it is okay for daughters to have sex with their father.
They think it is okay to rape and pillage the women and children of those they kill.
They think it is okay to kill unbelievers.
They think it is okay to have thousands of women for their concubines.

They must believe that because it is in their bible. If they don't then why do they have the bible?
