I'm not endorsing any of Rushdie's opinions here. It's just that he's a pretty popular writer, and he's talking about issues that are big topics on this particular forum. So, for your reading pleasure:

| I was very struck when Joe Lieberman was chosen as the vice-presidential candidate, and there was a certain amount of rubbish talked about whether Americans would vote for a Jewish candidate. I remember a big opinion poll taken by The New York Times in which people were asked whether they would accept as a presidential candidate a woman, a Jew, an African American, a homosexual, and an atheist. In four of those five measures, the result was resoundingly yes, by a gigantic majority, but for an atheist it was no better than 50-50. Somebody who overtly professes not to have religion can�t get elected dog catcher in this country. |
How true. |
