I actually find the Mississippi poll results on interracial marriage way more disturbing...

...than the fact that most MS Republicans think Obama is a Muslim. Why? Simply put, in the right-wing propaganda bubble it's no doubt really easy to believe any and all shit about Obama. Particularly if you're a racist, which let's face it: you wouldn't be a Republican in Mississippi if you weren't a racist.

But the fact that 50% of them openly believe that interracial marriage should be banned by law, that's way more disturbing. Because this isn't some recent smear campaign, or even something silly sounding from a couple decades ago like claiming Clinton had his enemies murdered. This is something that's been firmly discredited as racist, obnoxious, and borderline insane for around 40 years now. The bans have been unconstitutional for almost half a century. A lot of those MS Republicans probably aren't even old enough to really remember a time when interracial marriage was banned, and yet they're damn well sure it should be, even living in a national culture which has broadly accepted the fact that that belief system is both incredibly ignorant and unacceptable.
