It's bad enough that sexism and racism toward blacks has been rampant in recent months, but when someone has the gall to post anti-Muslim garbage on these forums, we stoop to a new, disgusting low.
The current climate in our country is paranoid and antagonistic toward Islam in general. For people to feed into it in order to support their candidate is DISGRACEFUL. The LAST thing we need right now is fanning the flames of paranoia and racism by posting right-wing crap like that.
For the record:
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS NOT A MUSLIM. THE NAME 'HUSSEIN' IS VERY COMMON IN THE MIDDLE EAST. DEAL WITH IT.
EVEN IF HE WERE MUSLIM, WHY WOULD THAT BE A BAD THING? I'M SICK TO DEATH OF THAT ATTITUDE, THAT CALLING HIM MUSLIM IS SOMEHOW A VIABLE ATTACK BECAUSE BEING A MUSLIM IS BAD.
Enough of this bigotry. DU is supposed to be better than that. Today, it's starting to look uncomfortably like Freepertown or, worse, Stormfront.
