Where do people get this ridiculous notion that Barack Obama is a Muslim Extremist?

What does that say about the state of mind of those that think this?

1. His name is different + people are stupid = he must be an extremist.
2. Because the two most common elements in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity.
3. Well, I'm not a Barack supporter but when I heard that whole mess with the Muslim Extremist I was like,"What the heck?!" It seems like every little itty bitty tiny thing a politician does or says gets sensationalized like crazy! Didn't his dad have a Muslim background or something like that? It was something small and they're just making it look like he's some Lord of the Muslim Extremist now. I think people believe it cause it's controversial, just like a lot of the stuff in our media. I really don't think it'll effect him...people seem to like him a lot. He's not my first choice, but that doesn't mean I'm going to believe every crazy theory that pops up. People need to use the brain in their heads and do their own research instead of just relying on their TV to provide the answers.
4. because it sounds like osama -therefore obama bin laden he really wants to bring us troops home and distracts his from his islamist sympathising agenda by saying that the us would attack pakistan if terrorists were there - nice distraction you fast talkin hustler - too bad most people can not see though that - the us will be brought to a minor power under obama bin ladens time as prez
5. He is a Socialist extremist.
6. lets see. Does not recognize the flag. Will not put his had over his heart at the presenting of the colors, will not ay pledge. First and biggest Supporter Louis Farrikon (sp) introduction into politics was the friend of his who help with the first trce center bomging, Shall I go on?
7. from idiots on the news, internet, and other idiots. it means they are idiots. of course the news is a little slow on most things anyway.
8. It came up on the news that some ***holes made up a fake email trying to taint Obama's image and making up all sorts of lies about him. Plus people believe what they want to. It's basically being spread by people who support the Republican party. It's a scare tactic and isn't that what Republicans love to do scare people to promote their own misguided or corrupt agendas?
9. They are out of touch with reality? Now, if you listen to his views, he does seem to be on the Far Left. Not a Muslim Extremist. Not the same at all.
10. Duh, his father was Muslim, he has a Muslim name, he went to a Muslim school, and he goes bonkers when he is criticized. Other than that...........
11. He is not an extremist at all. Just an ordinary Muslim.
