Obama 'madrassa" story: GOP dirty tricks revealed
Edited on Mon Jan-22-07 11:31 PM by LuckyTheDog
Obama "madrassa" story was false.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/01/22/obama.madrassa/index.html

The claim was wrong. Clinton was not the source. Will the Insight Magazine and the Washington Times apologize?

4. I'm GLAD the 2 sources were exposed! I can't believe they expected that!
Their mentality is still in the 00 & 04 mode where stories got aired, and NOBODY in the media did any research, and if they did find out it was wrong, nothing was ever said!

I don't expect an appology. IF the BS gets too deep, we'll hear there was a renegade reporter,and they've been fired! It MIGHT however, get other potential sources to hesitate, at least a bit!

8. Sen. Clinton took some shit from us over that one.
In a lot of ways, she really does earn her place in our party. She has to be pretty tough to put up with what she does. And she never complains.

9. "Insight stood by its story"
Insight is just 24 business hours away from proving it was a madrassa. :sarcasm:


Bunch of idiots.

Yup. I don't think it could be said any clearer than that.
