Arrghhh... conversation with my mother

[MonkeyFunk]

My parents are life-long Republicans. They voted for Nixon over Kennedy!!!

I was talking on the phone with her yesterday, and she talked about how she and my Dad are supporting Obama. I thought that was awesome.

Then she said "Well, the big strike against him is that he's Muslim".

I set her straight, and she was surprised to learn that he was a Christian.

So... it's cool that they supported him, but scary that the idea that he's a muslim is so pervasive.

Disclaimer: I've not chosen a candidate, but I'm split between Clinton and Obama. Mom hates Clinton.
