Debunking anti-Obama e-mails

Error-filled chain e-mails designed to scare voters away from Barack Obama are circulating widely on the Internet. Salon deconstructs a pair, one smearing the candidate, the other his wife.

    Madden's article, about six paragraphs down linked to Politico publishing Michelle Obama's thesis.

    And Politico got it by asking the Obama campaign for a copy (Again, information gotten from Madden's article) which hardly speaks of hiding the information.

    The thesis is available over on Politico in four PDFs.

    Madden's article itself follows a fairly standard formula for debunking things - it presents the claim and then presents the facts that counter the claim. It is hardly chaotic.
