It was really depressing watching almost this entire town believe Obama is a Muslim. How in the hell is he going to win when so many American's are so stupid?

3. Sadly, it is not mere stupidity, but willful ignorance..which is the same as evil.

4. And Yet He's STILL Leading In All The Polls
And this story on CNN just blew the myth out of the water from anyone who had any doubts and was watching. I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

5. The guy that did it (Tuchman?) said it is "like that everywhere - all 50 states".
So what he is saying is that it is a fact as far as he is concerned.

6. People in Copper Hill are brain damaged
the place is a toxic wasteland. He will win because most of them can't find their way to the voting place.

8. The media is trying to keep these stupid rumors alive.
Obama wouldn't win some of these areas anyway just because of his race.

9. Americans ARE stupid. Two solutions: Nominate a candidate for stupid people, or educate the people
Democrats, this time, have chosen the latter. And I'm proud to be one of them.

11. Grassroots person-to-person campaigning is the only way to overcome the wall of prejudice
in many communities around the country.

sounds like you're among the 'stupid,' if you really think people who receive meager 'news' are 'stupid' rather than ill-informed.

13. They're not ill-informed. They CHOOSE to believe this crap. That makes them stupid. At least to me.
