    Your assertion that a Clinton staff member in Iowa sent out the infamous email which falsely claimed Senator Obama was a muslim, is a lie. If you have any evidence to the contrary, the entire media in this country would just love to have it. I can only hope that you personally are merely naive enough to believe something you've been told, and not as patently dishonest as the person who claimed such a thing. If this is what we are to expect from Obama supporters, and is not rejected firmly by the Obama campaign, then he deserves to be defeated.

    And you presume to dismiss the entensive and persuasively cited list that Sandy provides! Can you say "irony?"
