Rightwing Smearers of Obama Don't know a School from a Madrasa
Very few Americans can dispel that kind of rumor but few listeners can be found. Who ever heard of Juan Cole? Americans don’t like experts. They have ugly tradition of blaming one religion, hating because one has darker skin or supporting their leaders knowing they are committing ugly crimes. Barack Obama lived few years in Indonesia predominantly a Muslim country and went to school there, Obama’s attending a school (Madrasa in Arabic) in a foreign country was a ground for white people to dismiss him as a legitimate American who could run for the presidency! America is way, way behind this kind of stuff: first they said his middle name (Hussein) might discourage people from voting for him now this. To be a friend of a Whiteman will cause you nothing but pain. But on the other hand being critical of the criminality of the establishment of the United State of America and how it came about will free you.

Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"

  1 Million Dead in Iraq? 6 Reasons the Media Hide the True Human Toll of War -- And Why We Let Them    :      Information Clearing House: ICH By John Tirman July 20, 2011 "Alternet" - - As the U.S. war in Iraq winds down, we are entering a familiar phase, the season of forgetting—forgetting the harsh realities of the war. Mostly we forget the victims of the war, the Iraqi civilians whose lives and society have been devastated by eight years of armed conflict. The act of forgetting is a social and political act, abetted by the American news media. Throughout the war, but especially now, the minimal news we get from Iraq consistently devalues the death toll of Iraqi civilians. Why? A number of reasons are at work in this persistent evasion of reality. But forgetting has consequences, especially as it braces the obstinate right-wing narrative of “victory” in the Iraq war. If we forget, we learn nothing. I’ve puzzled over this habit of reaching for the lowest possible estimates ...
