Some people were born with the "dumb gene".

Is it a dumb gene or a hate gene? That lady's not going to like Obama whether or not he's actually Arabic.
Muslims, particularly Arabic Muslims, have been so vilified by both parties (even though they say they're not), but specifically the Republican Party, that I'm not surprised that Obama is so feared by a part of the population. They're still living in 2001, or the 2004 Presidential election. It really makes me worried that if Obama is elected, these nutjobs may actually follow through with their promises.
Which sucks, because not all Republicans think he's a terrorist, and most Republicans have moved on from the massive fear-mongering campaigns by Bush/Cheney in the 2004 election.
