12% of the population STILL thinks Obama is Muslim!

12% - Still Think Obama is Muslim - Yahoo! News (broken link)

Pew Research Center: Belief that Obama is Muslim is Durable, Bipartisan – but Most Likely to Sway Democratic Votes

We all know education has been slipping for YEARS in the United States...but I think it might have reached all new lows. Either that or the Republican propoganda machines are still set at 'overdrive with extreme effectiveness'.

Gotta love the effective of propoganda: 'News? Newspapers? Books? Education? It's liberal media! It's garbage! Only us of the Conservatives know the truth, so, yes, Obama IS a muslim despite ALL evidence that says otherwise!'

That's a chunk of the McCain base his handlers will be playing like a pinball machine right on through to November. Some of them are here on this forum.

Could it be that 12% of the population know better?

The koran says once a muslim always a muslim. It is forbidden to convert or the penalty is death.

Funny how those from that part of the world all call him muslim. Only in America is there any question on the subject.

Oh so freaking what!!! Seriously ohhhhh noooo ... that nasty 12% ... he should REALLY worry about them. What he should be worrying about is all of us Hillary supporters who won't vote for him. Those 12%-ers are all sitting in front of their tv's with tinfoil hats on too. Yea, I'd want their votes.

They do believe he is muslim. Could it be just his name, Barack Hussein Obama?

Muslim name = muslim?

I hope that figure goes up.

I think that's a big part of it. Look at how many people on the right persist with this "Barack HUSSEIN Obama" crap. The ignorant knee-jerk people who don't pay any attention to detail will immediately think MUSLIM! BAD GUY! MUST KILL!

"But we're just saying his name. That's his name." Riiiiight. Then why don't you also run around saying John Sidney McCain?
