Well, he went to a muslim school, practiced the muslim "faith" when he was younger and never renounced it.
...lies. FOX News themselves (authors of this smear) had to retract it when they were exposed by several other news networks who finally bothered to do some proper fact-checking.
The school in question is and always has been a secular school catering to all faiths and creeds.
Obama was never a "practicing" Muslim. He has repeatedly denounced this story (even labeling it a smear from the Senate floor).
This type of smear is merely a crude manipulation of the fears of the unenlightened...
Coach, as it gets closer to the election these smears will become more and more crude and obvious as the Republicans dig deeper into the smutty back pages of the Carl Rove playbook... how far can it go before you realise your ill-informed opinion is being manipulated?
"Obama is a Muslim"... would that do it?
"Obama is a deep cover Al Queda operative"... would that be flagrantly mendacious enough?
How about...
"Obama is a homosexual Al Queda operative who crossed the border illegally from Mexico in order to become President so he can kill Jesus; forcibly perform an abortion on the Virgin Mary and use socialized medicine to inoculate Christian children with both AIDS and another virus made from stem-cells that makes them gay atheists" ?
I'm not too sure they're that far off the third line at the moment... they just insinuate instead of saying it outright.
