Madonna: 'We have a black Muslim in the White House! Now that’s some amazing sh-t'

At a concert in Washington, D.C. on Monday night, Madonna explained why she expected all of her fans to vote for Obama.

“Y’all better vote for f–king Obama, OK? For better or for worse, all right? We have a black Muslim in the White House! Now that’s some amazing s–t,” Madonna said. “It means there is hope in this country. And Obama is fighting for gay rights, so support the man, g-damnit.”

but anyone playing up the Muslim Obama image at this stage is an idiot, regardless of their intent.

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.

Oh yeah. The one who took pictures of herself squatting over a mirror and then sold them for $50.

I rest my case.

smart? I've seen no reason to think she's particularly intelligent, informed, or even interested.

These women have huge powers - and I am hoping they will use that power for good.

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

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...

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.

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!

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.

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.
