I am referring specifically to the invented story that Obama was raised as a Muslim (FALSE) and that this lie was first revealed by Hillary (FALSE).
Do you think that Democrats should be pointing out the fact that the media is participating in a lie-based smear of Democratic leaders by the right wing and demand that the media correct their mistakes?

Would it be an effective strategy if every Democrat and liberal who appears on any talk show to discuss the election reminded viewers that Fox News, CNN, ABC News, Rush Limbaugh, and dozens of rightwing radio shows have repeated these lies and still have not corrected the record and admitted that the whole story was a lie?
If not, why?

Absolutely, even if they don't want him to be the candidate. Its just more of what the right wing is good at: ignoring actual facts, and they should be called out on it Loudly.

Interesting question coming from a person who calls themselves "Peace Love and Harmony", but whatever.
Obama was raised by a Muslim father and stepfather. He did not "join" a Christian church until it was convenient politically for him to do so.
If the Dem/Libs are going to start demanding the correction of inflammatory and false new reports then the Conservative/Republicans should be allowed to do the same. Please try and remember that the media in this country is still a liberal bias machine. If you deny that then you are not intellectually honest and not worthy of the debate.

First of all, CNN, and ABC news are not conservative. They're very left wing. And second, we're not the drive-by-media, here. WE attack you? Please, get a grip! Haven't you ever seen a news conferance with Pres. Bush? Don't you see how they practically hang him right there on TV? WAKE UP!! And second, I´ve never heard these rumors before on Rush or Fox news. Give some honest to goodness facts besides your leftwing webpages ánd learn the facts. Besides, what´s Obama to you anyways. He´s a terrorist and he´s bombed and killed thousands of people! Get with the program and realize what a jerk you really are.

I see we are heading back to the Clinton era already. Everything now that comes out that shows the Democrats in a negative light will be a vast right wing conspiracy. Funny how if something is said negative about a Republican it must be true.

The media participates in SMEARS period. Whom ever it is, they target!! Republican, Democrat, it doesn't matter. All of our readily available information is based on "will it sell" Money is the root cause of most character smudges and the Republicans and Democrats use it to their advantage not caring who (me, you, the Muslim community, none of that matters only the almight Buck!)

Because anyone who doesn't know that MOST media outlets have some sort of spin isn't paying attention. Those of us who care about actual facts are reading original source material, not depending on what the media tells us.

Yes. I thought Dems learned from Kerry's loss that you have to nip these attacks in the bud!
Maybe the Democrats still didn't learn this lesson. Dems need to develop a killer instinct. Smiling from your living room and saying, "let's have a conversation" is not enough.
