Katie Couric's Notebook: Obama's Background
Posted by Katie Couric

"Is America ready for a President who grew up praying in a mosque?

Barack Obama has arguably the most diverse religious background of any candidate, ever. But will that help him or hurt him?"

CNN disproves Obama smear: http://mediamatters.org/items/2007012300

On January 17, the day after Obama announced the creation of his presidential exploratory committee, the conservative website InsightMag.com published an article reporting that "sources close to background check," which was supposedly "conducted by researchers connected to" Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), discovered that Obama "spent at least four years in a so-called Madrassa, or Muslim seminary, in Indonesia." The article further reported that the "sources" said "he idea is to show Obama as deceptive." These "sources" also speculated that the "the specific Madrassa Mr. Obama attended" might have taught "a Wahhabi doctrine that denies the rights of non-Muslims."

The story was quickly debunked by CNN and later by the Associated Press and ABC. But the madrassa smear nonetheless created a buzz in the conservative media, which used it to all but label Obama a Manchurian candidate. http://mediamatters.org/items/200703200011#20070412

to Australia. Bob got too much into the enabler column around then for my tastes, which broke my heart.

He does seem to be getting back on his own feet of late, but there for awhile.... I had to find other things to do on Sunday mornings too.

enjoying the Imus story. Katie is a big woman - that plagiarized article should be investigated.

Puh-lease. No thinking American can take her or her network seriously.

She is just a right-wing propaganda catapulter in kewpie doll drag.
