The Smears Keep on Comin’
January 24th, 2008 · No Comments
CNN ran a story on the continued smear tactics being used against Barack Obama on the topic of religion. It’s sad Obama has to refute stories about him being a Muslim when he is and always has been a Christian. Not that it should even be an issue in the first place. Again, this kind [...]
