(25,699 posts)I know that's not what you're getting at, DonViejo. This particular "joke" has popped up a few times before on DU and it always carries the same assumption, that since the president is engaging in something civil or progressive, that must make him "Worst. Muslim. Ever."
I know, it's supposed to be throwing the assumptions of the right-wing batshits back into their face, but what it really does is further their framing of people as inherently awful because of their religion.

Only 30 here today, not as bad as some. However, when it is as cold inside work as it is outside, it has a way of "chilling you to the bone.
Stay warm and get that stove cranking, freshwest.
