Melinda Henneberger quotes a woman who doesn't want to be identified aupposedly because she called her relatives a bunch of rednecks (they think if Obama is elected they are all going to have to "buy Muslim prayer rugs"). It seems to me that anyone willing to say he won't vote for Obama because he's a secret Muslim is also perfectly willing to say he won't vote for Obama because he's black. Maybe there's another reason Henneberger doesn't give the woman's name, a reason similar to the one that sank Stephen Glass at The New Republic?
