Go back. Read it again. I wasn't stereotyping anyone. I was referring directly to those people who base their votes on their racist views.
edit: oh noes! the cookie monster stoled my posts!
It appears the cookie monster did get your post.
Ignorance and racism certainly aren't limited to the State of WV. Depending on which source you look at, for 80-90 percent of the voters here, race played no role whatsoever. It's not perfect, I'll agree. I can't find any statistics for other states primaries (seems we're the only state branded racist by the media), but I can't imagine that it is much different nationwide.
It makes for entertaining television, but the Daily Show didn't show the people that were interviewed before the village idiot sat down.

Ah, yes, nothing quite like shifting your voting preferences because of some horsehockey meaningless guilt-by-association show that was played up by the media and especially by Hillary's camp. I honestly can't believe how many otherwise levelheaded people actually fell for Hillary's trap on that one. Yes, the mf'er is misguided on a few things (yeah, the US Government gave black people AIDS on purpose...uh huh), but what's really interesting is that this guy has been preaching for several decades, for several hours, every Sunday. He's probably logged thousands of hours of speeches. But it's that one soundbyte that people see on Headline News and suddenly Obama's the same guy and he hates America. Really? Really? I'm no Democrat, and I have no allegiance to Obama, but to be frank: that's a load of sh*t. Our country is in big, big trouble...in many ways. We've got sh*tloads of real problems. Not that Obama is gonna necessarily fix them (nor should he), but focusing on this meaningless issue and letting it govern who you vote for is, well, irresponsible, to put it lightly.

And if you don't want religion in politics (I certainly don't), good luck. You think Hillary or McCain are atheists?
This isn't about religion in politics---because it wasn't Obama that brought it up. It's about guilt-by-association political smearing, and it's enough to make a cynic out of anyone---especially when you hear people say that the smear actually worked on them.
You know, if you want to see an episode that really does speak to someone's fitness for office, check out Hillary's flat-out lie about being under sniper fire and dodging RPG's. We've had enough deception for a lifetime over the past 8 years---the last thing we need is more.
But I digress. I stand before the flames, and welcome them. Flame on!
