Want to see how dumb people in AL & MS are?
Other notes from Alabama and Mississippi - Public Policy Polling
A new PPP poll of Alabama and Mississippi found that between 86% and 88% of each state’s Republicans believe that President Obama is, or could be, a Muslim. In Alabama, 45% of the state’s Republicans thought that President Obama is Muslim. Fourteen percent correctly identified the president as a Christian, and 41% said that they weren’t sure whether President Obama was a Muslim or a Christian. Forty nine percent of Alabama’s Republican women, and forty two percent of the state’s men thought that Obama is a Muslim. Fifty five percent of Alabama Republicans over the age of 65 also got President Obama’s faith wrong. Republicans in Alabama looked completely enlightened on the issue of Obama’s faith compared to their counterparts in Mississippi, where 52% of the state’s Republicans thought that President Obama is a Muslim. Only 12% of Mississippi Republicans correctly identified Obama as a Christian, and 36% weren’t sure whether Obama is a Muslim or a Christian. Fifty three percent of Republican men in the state, and fifty one percent of women think that Obama is a Muslim. Fifty five percent of Mississippi Republicans over age 65 thought Obama is a Muslim. Only 4% of senior GOP voters in the state correctly identified Obama as a Christian. The reason why the Republican presidential candidates and the conservative media continue to question President Obama’s faith is because there is a sizable portion of the Republican electorate holding on to the false belief that President Obama is not a Christian. In short, the Republican presidential candidates are echoing the beliefs of GOP voters and giving them what they want. Where did Republican voter get these beliefs? Most likely this incorrect belief came from Fox News, talk radio, and other right wing outlets. Older Republican voters in each state were most likely to think that President Obama is a Muslim, and this same demographic makes up the bulk of the audience for Fox News. (Remember, Fox News has the oldest viewers on all of television.) The conservative media, led by Fox, has fueled the Obama is a Muslim hysteria of the uninformed right for over four years now. However, the numbers from the Alabama and Mississippi Republicans mean more than just that these people have been uninformed or misinformed. Even when presented with the facts, Republicans reject them. In the eyes of Obama hating Republicans, belief trumps fact. The facts are irrelevant. They know that Obama is a Muslim. They don’t need evidence. They just know it. The problem that this presents for the Republican Party is that their base wants to nominate a presidential candidate who also believes that President Obama is a Muslim, but any person they nominate who expresses that false belief is a certain loser, because a majority of the country knows that President Obama is a Christian. The propaganda and lies about Obama’s faith will continue through the 2012 election because that’s what the base wants. The culture of ignorance created by the placing of belief over fact and maintained by a media machine that services and maintains a protective and impermeable anti-intellectual bubble around the Republican Party is one of the biggest reasons why President Obama is in a good position to win reelection. The Republican Party collectively suffered a psychotic break with the political mainstream after the 2008 election, and their ability to maintain beliefs like Obama is or might be a Muslim demonstrates that they are a long way from being cured. |

Biased poll. I do know that he is NOT really a Christian. If he was then he wouldn't be trying to oppress Christianity.

I'm glad to see Phil's keeping such an open mind.
Got any other sweeping generalizations to make regarding entire states? |

I think people only call him a Muslim because they can't call him the n word.

1) Barak Hussein Obama...a Muslim name 2) He attended Muslim schools 3) His quote about his Muslim roots 4) His attacks on Christianity 5) His attacks on the Constitution 6) His bowing to Muslim heads of state 7) His close relationships to the leaders of black liberation theology Has he ever been a Muslim? Absolutely Is he currently a Muslim? He certainly has a lot of factors that would cause people to believe that way Does it matter? No. Whether or not he is a Muslim really makes no difference. He is a horrible president either way. |

No f**king way. Do you feel some extreme sense of white guilt or something? That is really all I can think of as to why a white guy would make damn near every thread have something to do with race and how evil whitey is. (The ones not about race are of course anti-Christian) |

Were does the liberal belief that he's not muslum come from (other than slurping from the mass media)? Obviously they think the problem will go away if they can only hide from it long enough. |

Phil, if you were half as smart as you think you are, you wouldn't have 1/2 the moon bat liberal ideals you do. You want to call people stupid for believing that Obama could be a Muslim? How stupid are you for believing that socialism/communism is the correct path despite the fact it has failed anywhere it has been tried (unless you consider China a shining example of success, in which case you are far more mentally handicapped than anyone here could possibly have guessed).
There is more evidence that Obama could be a Muslim, than there is that liberal policies are successful. |

Oh, I don't know about that.
Look at gun control, health care, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Medicare, Medicaid, public housing, Section 8, Social Security. These all seem to be shining examples of successful liberal policies. |
