29% Thinks Obama Is A Muslim
And, so what if he were?
A new CNN/ORC poll finds that although misperceptions about Barack Obama’s religious beliefs and background persist, they are not as widespread as some recent polling has suggested. Obama was born in Hawaii and is a Christian.
Overall, when asked “Where was Obama born, as far as you know?” 80% of adults said they believe Obama was born in the United States. The other 20% said that he was born outside the country, including 9% who believe there is solid evidence of that and 11% who say it is just their suspicion.
Misperceptions about Obama’s religious beliefs are more common than those about his birth, particularly among Republicans. Overall, 29% of Americans say they think the President is a Muslim, including 43% of Republicans.

Racists, Islamophobes, birthers, and conspiracy theorists are drawn to Donald “carnival barker” Trump much as flies to rotting meat.

Where’s a plague of fly-eating lizards when you need them?

I actually thought it was higher…then again, I live in Fl where 75% don’t think Hawaii is a state.

I miss my friends down there but I definitely do not miss the ignorance.

Back when the Olympics were in Atlanta, an Albuquerque businessman called the USOC number to get tickets for his company. When the operator asked for his address and he gave it, she told him he would have to call the Mexican Olympic Committee’s office to get tickets. He tried, without success, to convince her that New Mexico is a state. He finally gave up and gave her the address of his Phoenix office. That’s how stoopid Americans can be.

When I lived up in Alaska years ago, I’d travel back and forth to the mid west for work…people occasionally would ask me what language we spoke in Alaska…I used to tell em all kinds of crap…Russian, Athabaskan, Icelandic…I know like 3 sentences in Icelandic and would use them if they asked me to speak a little…Never underestimate the stupidity of Americans

Did any of the sentences get you slapped?

Didn’t these bigoted morons see President Obama at the memorial for the pastor who was shot in his own church by a racist white supremacist? Do they think “Amazing Grace” is a Muslim hymn?
Dwendt44 September 13th, 2015 at 17:45
If it wasn’t on FixedNews they didn’t see it.
Tommie September 13th, 2015 at 18:05
They thought it was all an act to make himself look good just like when he supported the cops on tv!
allison1050 September 13th, 2015 at 20:53
They must.
Tommie September 13th, 2015 at 18:02
That low, i expected it to be much higher than that with all the racist in this country!

Ed Strulky to show up and attempt to prove he is, because al-taqiyya, 3rd grade school records, and bad photos of Obama’s ring, in 3…2….1

I really don’t mean to be rude but, is this really news worthy, is this new? No to both.
Larry Schmitt September 13th, 2015 at 20:49
Most important of all, in this country it shouldn’t matter. We all know that day is still centuries away though.
allison1050 September 13th, 2015 at 20:51
Sh*t, I hate to say this but, I remember when JFK was the talk of the campaign trail because he was one of those CATHOLICS!! So to this fake newz I’m going to yawn.
Larry Schmitt September 13th, 2015 at 20:54
People actually wondered if he would take orders from the Vatican. Which shows how little people outside any organization actually know about it. I grew up Catholic, and that’s all anyone could talk about. He actually had to go on TV and reassure the country that he would obey the Constitution, not the Pope. Unbelievable.
jasperjava September 13th, 2015 at 21:53
I wish Huckabee and some of those other fundamentalist protestants would have the courage to say that they would obey the Constitution over the Bible.

Having that argument on another site where some are upset that Military Chaplains are made to marry gays
allison1050 September 13th, 2015 at 22:52
That period stands out to me since our household rarely had teevee so although young, I was fascinated since we were the old fashioned Catholic type household.

The trials and tribulations of being a kid. My brother would just walk into the house and change the station to football/wrestling without a word.

Well…you were only girls…right?
allison1050 September 14th, 2015 at 10:44
Yep and being male even my mother wouldn’t set his selfish ass straight.

I must admit, President Obama is doing a great job! I hope we see more “Kenyan-born, commie, socialist, members of the Muslim Brotherhood” as POTUS.
whatthe46 September 14th, 2015 at 14:33
i don’t think we’ll ever get to see anyone like this man again in office.
Bunya September 14th, 2015 at 14:39
Sadly, I think you’re right.
