[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 1916382, member: 24446"] She said before her rant that her facts might be wrong because she was "dizzy" from her stage act (which is amazing for someone her age...I'm pretty sure her and Mick Jagger have some special vitamins). Was what she said wrong? Well duh, as much as extremists want to believe Obama is a Muslim it's simply not true. Repeating that silliness just fuels extremists, it's posted here after all, and doesn't help his campaign much. She really should take an oxygen break before trying to discuss politics. I'm always amazed that such true blue Americans as we have here will validate their arguments with the most un-American of reasons. How hard is it to base an opinion of a politician on his/her politics instead of their race, religion or sexual orientation? Equality is a fundamental building block of this country but, somehow, in the GOP it's looked upon with disdain. Don't like Obama's politics? Fine, vote him out, but labeling a man a Muslim to discredit him in a country that was founded to escape religious persecution is mind boggling. As for the reference to Jane Fonda, it's completely inappropriate. Go ask a former POW if they consider Madonna's remark on the same level as Jane Fonda's Vietnam era activities and he's probably going to give you a new perspective on life pretty damn quick.
