Madonna just added her voice to the chorus of what had up to now limited to people on the right-wing fringe during a Monday night appearance in Washington, D.C. – namely that Barack Obama is a Muslim.
“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, godd**nit.”
