Post your favorite proven-to-be-bogus rumors concocted during this campaign

[brentspeak]

And the sources behind them, if known (don't mention fellow DUers).

[Middle finga]

1. Obama swearing in on the Koran.. can be easily disproved

[ColbertWatcher]

2. McCain is lucid n/t

[sniffa]

3. Dodd was a closet atheist

My god, the Dodd haters on DU wouldn't stop posting that. :grr:

[SoonerPride]

4. Hillary Clinton is a woman

I keed
I keed!

:)

[niceypoo]

5. Obama's supporters are for HOPE and UNITY

That fantasy sure flew like a lead balloon...

:rofl:

[sniffa]

8. No need

:thumbsdown:

6. John McCain kidnapped the Lindbergh baby

I can't believe he had to spend time responding to that baseless charge. True, he was old enough to be a suspect but as far as I know, it's not true.

7. 3 things that made me mad...

Lie #1: Hillary attacked Obama when she said "he's not a muslim....as far as I know."

That damn reporter kept asking her that question even after she said no he's not. He acted like he knew somethng she didn't, so of course she was like "he's not...as far as I know".


Lie #2: Obama attended a Madrassah (however the hell you spell it).

I don't support the guy but that was so easily proven false by CNN that Fox News looked like idiots. I'll never forget the twinkle in Steve Doocy's eye every time he said Madrassah.


Lie #3: Bill Clinton said Obama's candidacy was a fairy tale.

All of these duped people were up in arms, screaming that Bill Clinton was a Neo-Nazi. In fact, he said Obama's opposition to the war was a fairy tale.

9. Obama grew up in a madrassa....bunk!

Katie COURIC: Hi, everyone. Is America ready to elect a president who grew up praying in a mosque?

Barack Obama has arguably the most diverse religious background of any candidate ever. He was raised in Indonesia by a Christian mother and Muslim stepfather and attended a Catholic school -- but while growing up, also studied Islam. That background sparked rumors that he had studied in a radical madrassa, or Quranic school -- rumors his campaign denied, declaring that Obama is now a practicing Christian.

And, thanks to Rev. Wright, we all know that now, huh?

10. John Edwards "love child"

[Window]

11. Hillary is winning.

Alien sources.

12. Hillary is running a great campaign.

Penn, Wolfson.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. Things I've learned over the last three days.

Today: It's not racist to hate "gooks."

Yesterday: It's not racist to be afraid of black people you see walking down the street.

Day before: The problem with black people is that they're lazy.

And that's just on DU.

14. Senator Obama threw his white grandmother under the bus.

Assholes.

15. john mccain is a "straight talker"
