With all of the headlines being made by clergymen and Trinity United Church of Christ how any one can still accuse Mr Obama of being a Muslim is pure vitriol. Willed ignorance is vitriol. This goes equally for Jews as well as the blue-collar---loose translation: uneducated red neck---voters for whom this is apparently an issue; the former, cozying up to senility in their posh South Florida codger communities as the latter embrace their Christianity and yet-to-be outsourced jobs while detesting the former.
What the media and social pundits won't highlight is that for many bigots Mr Obama represents a common enemy: a calm, educated black man; an educated black man; a black man. Yet newscasts replay ad infinitum loaded snippets of Rev Wright's sermons which the future black President has long since denounced emphatically. Also, where is the reporting on all this anti-Muslim sentiment??
Willed ignorance is vitriol
If Word on the Street segments relayed candid concerns from real "average" Joes I am certain the concerns and apprehensions would center on something more colorful and base than Mr Obama's foreign policy or health care plan.
