I think a flamboyantly gay person should run up and bite her on the neck.

I'm Muslim, and slightly offended by the implication that Islam is a threat to society. But, whatever...

I'm not Muslim, and her comments bug me too. At a minimum, it's an insult to every individual's intelligence when a political leader makes xenophobic generalizations like this. But at this juncture in history, i find it even more irresponsible. But then again, it does not surprise me that this is a Baby Boomer white woman from a rural area. These demographs feel very threatened by the societal changes that are so evident in big metro areas like Chicago, where I live.
I'm doing a slow burn over these types of people. It's probably the main reason I might vote for Obama, because he represents the multi-racial, multi-cultural, class-overcoming individual that I think will be the inevitable future and strength of America--if we don't let the xenophobes continue to rule.

I hope you didn't think *I* was implying that. I am as put off by the Muslim implication as you are.
