Did anyone hear the sound bites of West Virgina voters claiming that Obama is Muslim?

This is wrong on so many levels.

I didn't hear it, but I'm shocked. Truly...

Ground, I think Vak may be trying to insinuate that Hillary (or her supporters) may be taking a run at Obama over this "hot button" issue ala Bush supporters doing McCain over his "black baby" in South Carolina back in 2000.

“I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife’s an atheist,” said Mr Simpson, drawing on a cigarette outside the fire station in Williamson, a coalmining town of 3,400 people surrounded by lush wooded hillsides.

“If he is the nominee, the Democrats have no chance of winning West Virginia,” said Missy Endicott, a 40- year-old school administrator. “He doesn’t understand ordinary Americans.”

Josh Fry, a 24-year-old ambulance driver from Williamson, insisted he was not racist but said he would feel more comfortable with Mr McCain, the 71-year-old Vietnam war hero, in the White House. “I want someone who is a full-blooded American as president,” he said

To be fair, you could find a few people with these views in any state if you looked hard enough.

Also, imagine if he really was a Muslim.

In that case, he might not have received a single vote!

Ya, Muslims suck. No one should ever vote for a Muslim... they might, like, do something really really bad. (insert sarcastic face emoticon here).

Also, 47% of West Virginians think the Earth is flat.

While those views can probably be found in any state, I'd be very interested to see the literacy and high school graduation rates from West Virginia. (Insert "Deliverance" music here.)

The Daily Show had 3 or 4 interviews at the beginning of the show. 1 would not vote for him because he was black, 1 because he was Muslim and 1 because she'd had enufff of this Hussein stuff. You realize that if a party of West Virginia deer hunters kill a friend by mistake they gut him for practice.
