First pastor Mike Huckabee in front of the National Rifle Association suggesting that someone could have shot Obama, and then Hillary Clinton saying she was staying in the race because someone could shoot/assassinate Obama, is this a sick country or something?

In the USA people love their guns, so they will probably vote for the candidate that is willing to use a gun.

Very true. Buy one get a gun free

Facts are meaningless. They can be used to prove anything that is even remotely true.

Kind of a thread mix, but I was re-reading Hitchikers again and came across this: "Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
I blag!?

I find the amount of people I meet that simply won't vote for Obama because he is half black alarming. There are also many people that have read the republican smear-mail and believe he is a muslim. Bigotry is live and well in this country!
No one died when Clinton lied.

I carpooled with a guy who absolutely would not vote for Clinton if Obama did not get the nomination; said he would rather vote for McCain. When I pointed out issues w/McCain, he said he would vote for Nader. I pointed out what happened the last time that happened. He waffled a bunch - I don't think he ever came around; but at least he started thinking about his vote.

Any knee-jerk reaction is just stupid.

The other thing I find absolutely unreal is the people who ask "why do people call Obama black? he is only half black". This is bigotry trying to hide behind historical amnesia.

Does anyone have any idea what percentage of people think Obama is a Muslim? I'm generally the optimist and am constantly getting in arguments with my friends regarding such issues, with me arguing that only a tiny percentage of Americans think Obama is a Muslim or other such lunacy, and them being more cynical. It occurs to me that I actually have no polling data or anything like that when I make these claims (so I probably shouldn't make 'em), so I'm just guessing. Has anyone seen any kind of polling data on that? It seems to me that the silver lining for Obama in this Reverend Wright debacle is that he can't possibly be accused of being a Muslim anymore.
