1. La Times has picked up the NewsMax article about Obama attending service.

His campaign denies it, of course.

It's the blog part, but it's only a step away.

2. You'd think a specific date would be easy to check. Florida or Illinois? n/t

3. this story was first reported in august

so why did it take 7 month for OBama to say he wasn't there?

This was first reported August 9th.

4. Thanks, I've seen the original. Maybe they were just hoping it would

be ignored. Responding to it would draw attention to the matter I guess. Also, I suppose it gave them an additional seven months to get certain... ummm... things in order.

5. Yup. I think what Ferraro said was racist but there is a kernel of truth to it

Obama is getting a free pass on playing the race card and this because much of the media is terrified of being tarred as racist.
