Yall better vote for fking Obama, OK? For better or for worse, all right? We have a black Muslim in the White House! Now thats some amazing st, Madonna said. It means there is hope in this country. And Obama is fighting for gay rights, so support the man, g-damnit.

(552 posts)she was being sarcastic I would assume.
but anyone playing up the Muslim Obama image at this stage is an idiot, regardless of their intent.

(27,461 posts)she isn't an idiot, but she seems to think Obama is a Muslim. And disappointingly her dancers seem to think so too, or else they were just backing up their boss which would be understandable.

I rest my case.

(272 posts)Doesn't matter if she was being sarcastic or not... The right will run with this (if they haven't already)...

(272 posts)Jackass Limbaugh was playing the sound-byte earlier, and I'm sure the rest of the AM-hate radio jockeys will too.....
Trust me... This doesn't help us...

(30,439 posts)They are gonna try to run with anything. The GOP is getting their asses handed to them right now.
Also, who gives a fuck about Limbaugh and his stupid fucking audience. Seriously...who gives a fuck. He cannot affect anything. He's pretty fucking powerless except with his own echo chamber audience which will already vote against Obama anyways.

(8,636 posts)She's a strong woman; moreover, she's in command of her own sexuality. That's why a lot of feminists love her, and why the right has to hate her!

(75,480 posts)I doubt the GOOPers will even run with it because she's really not their type. It would put them back into the "we don't know what we are talking about" category.

(20,450 posts)She used to have a "cursing jar" where she would fine anyone on her staff who curses. She had a strict "no swearing" policy and now she's cursing like a sailor I see. Added to that her ignorance. Never did like her or her music.
