[Oe List ...] Fact Check re: Obama

[facilitationfla at aol.com]

Yes, we always watch Maher.   But the blue collar yokels and ignoramases who read The Globe or the National Enquirer and are bombarded with these front page headlines from these sleezy rags at the supermarket check out will be influenced by this tripe == and also tripe about Hiliary - which has caused an irrational hatred of her.

If you watched Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO last night you saw him verbally and in big print refute the rumors about Obama being a Muslim with facts.  It was pegged to a short rant about ‘how stupid can some Americans be?’ to believe anything in print or that someone tells them.

Thank you, Del. I am keeping as much info as I can get my hands on to counter the crazy rumors that can only get worse from now on. What newspaper on February 28? Thanks. Ann Shafer in Texas where we are hopeful that the caucusses will hand Obama more delegates than Clinton.

This appeared in the newspaper February 28.  I just hadn’t had a chance to send it on until now.

 

FACT CHECK

 

Some of the rumors and allegations about Barack Obama are clearly not true, yet still spread, often anonymously.

 

1.  A debunked chain e-mail circulating widely suggests he is hiding his Islamic roots.  It says he was sworn into the Senate on the Quran and turns his back on the flag during the Pledge of Allegiance.  Actually, he took his Senate oath with his hand on a family Bible, and he says, “Whenever I’m in the United States Senate, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.”

 

2.  Another false report says he attended a Muslim madrassa as a child in Jakarta.  Obama was born in Hawaii and moved to Indonesia when he was 6 to live with his mother and stepfather. He returned to Hawaii when he was 10 to live with his maternal grandparents.  Interviews last year by the Associated Press at the elementary school in Jakarta found that it is a public and secular institution and has been open to students of all faiths since before Obama attended in the late 1960s.                                                     (from the Associated Press)
