Well, this should be a fun campaign cycle…

Quimbybanner CNN has a headline story that Barak Obama did NOT, repeat, did NOT attend a Maddrassa as a young by living in Indonesia.   The fact that CNN would send someone to check out the school personally, and come out and refute the allegation so strongly is, in some ways, much better than an apology for the hideous "Where’s Obama?" mistake when they were talking about Osama Bin Laden’s whereabouts.  Nevertheless, we are likely to hav a long two year haul of pointless innuendo regarding how much Mr. Obama is "with the terorists."  This is an especially awful version of this ploy because it also represents Indonesia in a completely unfair way.  Oh well, I suppose we should all expect to hold our noses now, because we are in it for the long haul, like it or not.

    Whatever. CNN still reported the story before they checked it out. Poo on them.

    Poo on everyone else for actually caring. Who cares if he attended a madrassa? Even if it is militant, who cares still?

    Not only are “our” schools militarized (pledge of allegiance that invokes god and a single nation under god), but nearly all of our after-school programs have various fascist principles at their root.

    Furthermore, going to a non-Madrassa hasn’t stopped us from being in a ton of wars, nearly all of which are couched in some sort of religious nonsense.
