"I've had enough of Hussein"

So, sort of going off of Rachel's post, I remembered a clip from the Daily Show from back in May. If you remember, Clinton and Obama were still competing for the Democratic nomination. As the Daily Show was covering the polls, the night before, West Virginia voted. Clinton won by a landslide and when voters were questioned as to the reason behind their vote, their answers are pretty disturbing. One women went as far to say "I've had enough of Hussein." Their dislike for Obama ranged from calling him Arabic to prejudice against different races. The ignorance is a little frightening and that people are still thinking along those lines today is beyond me.
