OT: Savage repeated debunked falsehood that Obama attended madrassa
maff

On the June 25 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show,
Michael Savage said that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) was "indoctrinated"
by a "Muslim madrassa in Indonesia." As Media Matters for America has
documented, this falsehood -- which the website InsightMag.com first
reported, attributing the rumor to "sources close to [a] background
check" allegedly "conducted by researchers connected to" Sen. Hillary
Rodham Clinton (D-NY) -- has been thoroughly debunked by several news
organizations. For example, CNN reported on January 23: "Allegations
that Sen. Barack Obama was educated in a radical Muslim school known
as a 'madrassa' are not accurate, according to CNN reporting." The
Associated Press and ABC News have also debunked the story. ABC News
noted that the purported link to Clinton's campaign is "unproven and
unsubstantiated."
The Savage Nation reaches more than 8 million listeners each week
according to Talkers Magazine, making it the third most-listened-to
talk radio show in the nation, behind only The Rush Limbaugh Show and
The Sean Hannity Show.
