It's a very basic rule in presswork that denying a story lends it credibility (enough to at least warrant a response). Dealing with such idiocy is best done by ignoring it - unless the smear machinery manages to pump it up enough to make some stick.

Consider yourself clued up.

Consider yourself clueless. The Clinton Smear Machine is a well-known entity in this country and drawing attention to the fact that it has cranked back up is valid.

Not to mention the myriad of controversies and character assassinations committed by the same smear machine durning Bubba's administration.

Where are the press' questions to Hitlery about all the stolen FBI files discovered in her personal office, etc., etc., etc.?

I'm happy to see you're so amused by your own ignorance.

Whether or not Obama went to any Muslim schools, it's a matter of public record that he is not a Muslim now. If he ever was, then that would make him an apostate, and electing him would only piss off the terrorists even more than electing a "mere infidel" would. They'd want to kill him, not kiss him, and in any event they wouldn't want to ally with him.

End result: whether or not the story is true doesn't actually make any meaningful difference at this point.

It does for the very large number of xenophobic voters in America. And that is why this smear campaign (it's irrelevant from whom it came, no proper news outlet would run this story) could most definately make a difference at this point in time.











ps. Just to clear something up for you non-Arab speaking infidels.... MacNNers. Madrassa = School. It doesn't mean anything more sinister than that. I hope we all went to school and I think it's a good thing a proper Presidential candidate has gone to one of those as well.

No one here is saying it means anything other than that - except for the obvious implications the Clinton Campaign is attemtping to make.
