Who is responsible for the Obama "Madrassa" smear?

Democrats!!! According to the insane right wing media!!! The right wing media was caught in a lie and all they can do is blame the Dems!!! The story originates from a far right website, with no proof Hillary started these lies, yet she gets the blame.

CNN debunks this goofy issue, by actually going to the rather liberal Muslim school Obama attended, which was nothing close to a Madrassa. Unfortunatley for CNN, they only blame FOX for the disinformation campaign, ignoring that their own Glenn Beck was part of the lies!

EXTRA! InsightMag says that CNN's reporting "does not satisfy [their] standards for aggressive investigative reporting." So, let me get this straight: aggressive = dishonest? In an even funnier part to the story, they suggest that FOX, "who will look the facts straight on, without a vested ideological interest in downplaying Obama's Muslim heritage," launch their own investigation. They have a vested interest in UP-playing (playing up?) Obama's Muslim heritage, as they have been doing for the past few weeks.

Also, John Gibson, who was singled out by Obama's staff for spreading this nonsense, plays it off by claiming (99.9% likely falsely) that the CNN reporter actually went to the same madrassa.

These people have totally lost touch with reality. I'm not sure, though, if I should pity such willful ignorance.
