<p>This is how Madonna endorses political candidates: by playing on a widely-held falsehood about his religious upbringing. During her second night in D.C. on her already controversial MDNA tour--what with all the <a href="http://observer.com/2012/07/madonna-in-paris-fury-over-fuhror/">pub(l)ic nudity and swastikas superimposed over heads of state</a>--she encouraged <a href="http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/09/madonna-vote-black-muslim-white-house/57232/">voters to support Barack Obama</a>, "the black Muslim in the White House" who's "fighting for gay rights." Then she said "You all better vote for f---ing Obama, okay," before <a href="http://thehill.com/capital-living/in-the-know/258491-madonna-strips-for-obama-offers-profanity-laced-endorsement">promising to take her clothes off</a> if he wins.</p>
<p>This will definitely play well in the red states.<br />
