While I don't expect there is much overlap in practice, the catagories "muslim terrorist" and "negro shoeshine boy" are not logically exclusive.

Who's to say Muslims can't shine shoes? I think we're all learning a valuable lesson about our shoe-shining prejudices today.

Just sayin'.

So is he Muslim or Crazy Christian...?

I shouldn't be surprised; Understanding simple logic is not the Right's strong suit.

The first time they have endorsed a Democrat for President. Ever.

I always wondered why shoe-shiners rarely call for the destruction of Isreal. You should help George Bush catch Bin Laden.

In other news, my Jewish roommate doesn't eat bacon, even though she does. I never knew.

If you do you "hate America". It's like their berating Hollywood actors unless they agree with them. The right wing is mentally unfit to rule a great nation such as ours. That has been demonstrated by their pal G.W. Bush. Time to give others a chance to correct the course of the ship of state. Step aside rascist wackos, truth is about to step in.

Though I don't cast Mr Obama as either of those myself, I don't see how any side that's painted George W. Bush as both a sinister fascist eminence and a moronic college frat-boy can get hot and bothered about inconsistency.
