Contradicting prior reporting, AP said Obama attended Muslim school as a child

In a February 11 article, the Associated Press reported that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) spent "his childhood years in the Muslim faith" and that "Obama's religious background has come under scrutiny because he attended a Muslim school in Indonesia from age 6 to 10." The article, which contradicts the AP's own reporting, as well as Obama's statements, follows the discredited claim that Obama attended a madrassa in his youth, an allegation first made in an article by InsightMag.com.

I posted a week or so ago that I overheard a conversation in which one of the people said "I don't think middle America's ready for a Muslim president"

The score is now up to 2 (limited to my random eavesdropping survey), the latest was in the grocery store, along the lines of "I can't believe the Democrats would vote for a Muslim"

That's what keeps me from laughing too much at our idiot media, the fact that living breathing human Americans prove me wrong when I think they're being misunderestimated..

Where's Michelle Malkin when you need her?*

Isn't she a big fan of "debunking" AP stories? Why isn't she "debunking" this one? 

* Yes, I am aware that no one needs Michelle Malkin. I regret ever typing that.

I guess it is true, no one reads newspapers anymore, even AP reporters.

This just in... the truth!

Barak Obama is secretly a secular Jew who hates Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. He attended an Hassidic school in Brooklyn until he was ten but fell away from his religion after becoming addicted to Robitusin and Stevan Segal movies. The whole Muslim thing and his conversion to Christianity? ...all smokescreens.  I cannot verify with certainty that he is Lindsey Lohan's real father... bet he did have a long-term affair with Tipper Gore that ended bitterly. And although he didn't kill Vince Foster, he disposed of the murder weapon.

There...! Let's get everything out in the open about "Barry" Obama once and for all...

Having slipped, and inadvertently published the truth, the AP - as with the rest of the S.C.U.M (thanks, Easy To Refute Wingnuts) - now is forced to reverse that error. To do so by "correction" would be onerous, involving as it would, an endorsement of skepticism by their audience. The remaining recourse is to simply turn up the amplifier, and issue a volume of reports contradicting the erroneous original, sufficient  ultimately to bury that solitary instance of truth.

Look forward to the echo-chamber effect on this story, perhaps a week or two from now - when the part of the audience with active brain-cells isn't paying attention any longer.

Thank God (or flying spaghetti monster, if you prefer) for MMFA! This should not escape us, even if held for a year before re-runs begin.

The news and pundit reports don't focus on Obama's policies, they focus on his race and religion.  How pathetic!  News organizations are scraping the bottom of the barrel when they focus on where a presidential candidate went to school when he was 6 years old.  At age 7, was he already doomed never to be President?  Do we start judging all Presidents by what they were doing as children?

This does pose an interesting question.  If Obama was a Muslim at one time and converted to Christianity, according to Sharia law he must be killed.  This happens in Sharia Islam all the time. It does make you wonder what the millions who follow Sharia Law would have to say about this.

Good point.

Since we don't live under Sharia law, it doesn't matter what they would say.

"...according to Sharia law he must be killed." 

By the time the Islamofascists got around to Obama they'd probably take pity on him for the torturous character assassination he will have already endured at the hands of the Republicofascists and feel that he had suffered enough. Maybe they'd feel he had already suffered a fate worse than death after enduring the Swiftboating that he most certainly will face. And they may believe that he is not lost to Islamofascism... that he could return to the flock. After all, didn't Obama attend a radical Islamofascist madrassa where he was taught to hate America... and where he was probabaly taught bomb making and other terrorist tactics?  Of course, the Mainstream Media may attempt to deny Obama Islamofascist background but the Republicofascists know how everyone in the media, except Fox News, lies.  No, Leather, I don't think the Islamofascists are going to kill Obama... more likely Obama will strap bombs beneath his tuxedo on inauguration day and commit the most dramatic suicide bombing in history.  ;>)
