Did you hear that batshit insane HAG saying she thought Obama had been "sucked into" the Muslim faith and that she didn't trust him because the only way you're not a Muslim after becoming one is if you're KILLED.

Fucking crazy, racist, fuck!

2. I was confused by the way she said race was not her concern
For some reason, she thought that religious bigotry was acceptable even as she acknowledged that racism is not.

6. It's part of their brainwashing...
I will state without hesitation (shades of Palin...lol) that every single person who says that HAS BEEN RACIST THEIR ENTIRE LIVES.

For some odd reason, they're cloaking it in the muslim BS. I'm calling them out every time, because they're the ones who diss us for being "politically correct," yet they're afraid to come out and say EXACTLY what they're dying to say: I don't like him because he's BLACK.

BULLFUCKINGSHIT. Sure, they hate muslims, too -- these people hate (i.e. fear) anyone who isn't white and christian -- but the religious bigotry is icing on the cake. What's at the crux of the matter is the racism.

5. I didn't get that impression from her
She basically said they CAN'T be trusted. She seemed to indicate that they cannot be converted which is why she said the only way you're not a Muslim is if you're killed.

9. I'm sorry but following out her 'logic'...... the only safe Muslim is a dead one
I guess she might opt for internment camp.

7. Oh, God.. I did... had to stay in my parked car to finish up...
then I was so pissed off I had to vent with my neighbors, who were watching me sit in my parked car for 10 minutes... They are Dems, I'm pretty sure, but not following like I am, it is clear... They sorta shook their heads, but probably thought I was nuts...

I am so distraught after hearing that.... DAMN

15. That's true - Philly too. In fact my old neighborhood crowd in Boston would say similar
People are just loving to say hateful things on a interview for some reason.

12. I caught half of it. I turned it off after that "sheltered" woman said
she was scared that Obama was muslim. I'm convinced that the whole muslim thing is cover for bigotry.

14. Don't underestimate the stupidity and hatred of Americans
I feel ya. I got SO pissed when some reporter a couple of months ago was interviewing people in a small Tennessee town. Some of them were as bad as that woman you heard. I don't usually use the word "bitch" but I was so fed up with the stupidity of people in this country, I just let it all out. I get angry because I know if there are enough people out there like her, we may have another 4 years of the horror we've been living in.
