Obama Attended Madrassa, Says Hillary, page 3

Ten bucks says Rove called this reporter and said he was a Hil staffer. When the campaign denies it, they look like incompetents for not researching the competition. Win-win for the turdblossom.

That's what I was trying to say.

Thanks for saying it more clearly than I did.

What I don't like about the article is the Wahabbi spin they put on it.

Yeah, that, too. There is NO information suggesting that the school he went to was Wahabbi (see below). In fact Obama says it was a moderate school. The article doesn't actually say it was Wahabbi, it just throws it out there for people to infer. And MAN! People who want to imply that Obama's a terrorist run with that crap!

I think it probably is, but again. Where is the information that states Obama was EVER a Muslim?

From Snopes (your friend and mine):

Speaking of his father (who left when Obama was 2):

[B]y the time he met my mother, he was a confirmed atheist, thinking religion to be so much superstition, like the mumbo-jumbo of witch doctors that he had witnessed in the Kenyan villages of his youth. Obama described his mother as "secular," saying that: For my mother, organized religion too often dressed up closed-mindedness in the garb of piety, cruelty and oppression in the cloak of righteousness.

SO... if his father was an atheist and his mother was a secular white lady from Kansas, how does he get to be Muslim?

Also:

A recent magazine article claims that aides to Hillary Clinton have alleged Barack Obama attended a madrassa (i.e., an Islamic religious school) for four years as a teenager. An Obama aide said the campaign was working on a formal response and that the claims were "not accurate."

On the Wahabbi front:

Obama described his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, as "a non-practicing Muslim," and (as previously noted) Obama attended both Catholic and Muslim schools in Indonesia. The claim that Obama attended a radical Wahabbist school in Indonesia in the 1960s is problematic, given that:

The large Indonesian community resident in Mecca was a medium through which knowledge about Wahhabism reached Indonesia, but the community itself appears to have remained virtually immune to Wahhabi influences. In reality there was little direct influence of Wahhabism on Indonesian reformist thought until the 1970s.

Yes, IN REALITY. Let's talk about reality here if we could.
