CNN HAD AN INTERESTING STORY ABOUT COPPERHILL, TENN. I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE TO THE SENATOR'S ADVANTAGE TO MAKE A TRIP TO THE SMALL TOWN. THERE HE CAN ADDRESS THE FALSE ACCUSATIONS MADE AGAINST HIS FAITH AND ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THE PEOPLE OF COPPERHILL MAY HAVE.

I saw that ..not good for Obama . People get these nasty emails and believe them. Some just say well his name sounds Muslim .. Geeeeez .. these are the same dummies who gave us Bush .

I don't really know but I think it is more racism .. but it sounds better to say he is Muslim/Jihad and will destroy the country .

Welcome to the SOUTH ! HOME OF AMERICAN BIGOTS AND THE KKK!!!

Keep in mind it was TN . Al Gore did not even win TN and HE LIVES THERE !!! They are all republican so I think CNN was a little skewed in choosing that city or state even.

Okay. Let's try to set this record straight. I live in Copperhill, a block from the heart of town, and I'm appalled at what I've been hearing today. I just talked to one business owner friend who's not an Obama supporter but is a basically fair-minded man, and he told me the CNN reporters spent 45 minutes trying to get him to say something negative about Barack's religious beliefs. He refused, so they aired the only statement he made that sounded negative when it was taken out of context.

No, the KKK is not alive and well here. And we aren't all married to our cousins. And yes, of course we have racism and ignorance, but so does every other town in America. CNN came gunning for us, and they got us. And more than a few of us are livid about it.

If Barack wants to pay us a visit, I'll be happy to buy his lunch. At the Mexican restaurant, which is run by my much-loved Hispanic neighbors.
