In a restaurant in Greenwood on Tuesday, Obama approached an older white guy who waved him off, muttering afterwards to a reporter: “I can’t stand him. He’s a Muslim. He’s not even pro-American as far as I’m concerned.” [emph added]

Once again, a convenient Anonymouth puts in an appearance in a MoDo column, and he even gets to assert that Obama is a Muslim, an erroneous assertion that MoDo lets stand.
