Senator Obama Not Taught at Radical Muslim School
Senator Barack Obama is starting to get the Harold Ford treatment. If you remember, former Tennessee Representative, Harold Ford Jr., ran for the Senate against Bob Corker (White). Bob Corker and the Republican National Committee decided to run racist ads, which depicted a White, naked-looking women winking at Rep. Ford and another ad, which had jungle music playing in the background whenever Rep. Ford’s name was mentioned.
Well, in similarly distasteful fashion, Fox News Channel and The New York Post recently claimed that Senator Barack Obama was educated at a radical Muslim school in Indonesia. Yes, he went to school in Indonesia, but it was not an extremist center of education. Yet, Sen. Obama is falsely being accusing of receiving the same education that is believed to create terrorists. This story was fabricated. But, it’s all some people will want to remember.
When questioned, one of the media outlets claims the story on Senator Obama originally came from Senator Hillary Clinton’s campaign office. This is, of course, being denied by the Clinton campaign. Regardless of where it came from, the facts should have been checked before putting it to print or speaking such lies over the airwaves.
Fact checking by CNN in Jakarta, Indonesia and Washington, D.C., shows the allegations that Senator Obama attended a madrassa are false. CNN dispatched Senior International Correspondent John Vause to Jakarta to investigate. He visited the Basuki school, which Obama attended from 1969 to 1971.
