Barack Obama Smeared By Right Wingers

Republicans have spent more than twenty years telling fictions about Democrats. For the record, Barack Obama is a Christian and attends a Baptist church. The school he attended in Indonesia was open to people of all faiths. Barack Obama was barely of school age at the time.

If a 'revelation' about a Democrat suddenly makes the news, watch out. CNN has the story on the phony terrorist school/Barack Obama story:

Allegations that Sen. Barack Obama was educated in a radical Muslim school known as a "madrassa" are not accurate, according to CNN reporting.

Insight Magazine, which is owned by the same company as The Washington Times, reported on its Web site last week that associates of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-New York, had unearthed information the Illinois Democrat and likely presidential candidate attended a Muslim religious school known for teaching the most fundamentalist form of Islam.

Obama lived in Indonesia as a child, from 1967 to 1971, with his mother and stepfather and has acknowledged attending a Muslim school, but an aide said it was not a madrassa. (Watch video of Obama's school )

Insight attributed the information in its article to an unnamed source, who said it was discovered by "researchers connected to Senator Clinton." A spokesman for Clinton, who is also weighing a White House bid, denied that the campaign was the source of the Obama claim.

He called the story "an obvious right-wing hit job."

Notice that this story supposedly included a tip from the Clinton campaign. There are honest Republicans running for office but I've already seen signs that right wing Republicans, who have difficulty winning a contest honestly on an even playing field, are trying to sow suspicions among their opponents and confusion among the voters. I have a suggestion, if you can afford it: every time a Democrat is smeared, send them ten bucks. If nothing else, click on their websites to let them know they're appreciated. Give Barack Obama a visit.
