QUICK VOTE
Who do you think is behind false reports about Barack Obama's time at a Muslim school?
-Right-wing opponents
-Left-wing opponents

Right now it's at 68% RW opponents and 32% left-wing opponents.

I don't think there's any realistic question that the RW was behind this.

I think it's seriously anti-American to make attendance at a Muslim school into a

political crime. I know it's a RW lie machine attack - but why react so breathlessly to it as if it was the biggest insult on earth? Isn't there a Muslim congressman who was just sworn into office? I guess he'll never be able to run for president, no matter how solid a citizen he is, eh?

3. The attack isn't that he attended a Muslim school.

The attack is that he supposedly attended a madrassa where he was trained in radical Islamist ideology, and probably taught how to be a terrorist. That is a smear, and it is also clearly not true. I think it's also pretty clear that it's come from the far right smear machine.

2. Tried to get two birds with one spew

They thought that they could smear Obama and Hillary at the same time. Telling that Obama went to a Muslim school and that Hillary;s camp was the one earthing it. Looks like rove is at it again. Somebody ought to get that guy in a jail and in solitary confinement for the rest of his life.

5. It was an Illinois wingnut who ran failed campaigns for gov and senator

Can;t remember his name right now but, he was never taken that seriously. He is a real wingnut. He's done crap like this before and shops it around.

6. It would be nice to definitively identify the source of this smear.

I hope that happens and that it gets widely publicized and rubbed in the nose of FAUX.
