Ken Schram: Think Obama is a Muslim plant? Idiot...
SEATTLE -- Is this picture supposed to make Sen. Barack Obama look like a Muslim?

The photo showed up earlier this week on the Drudge Report Web site.

Drudge says he got it from Clinton campaign people.

Sen. Clinton says she knows nothing about that.

Here's what I know: For months now, neo-conservatives have been having an Internet field day posting lies and rumors designed to convince people believe that Obama is a Muslim plant of some kind.

From the e-mails I keep getting, some people are buying in to it all.

So, here's Schram's civic lesson for today.

If you believe that Sen. Obama was sworn into office with his hand on the Koran, click on this link.

If you believe that Sen. Obama was educated at a radical Muslim school in Indonesia, click on this link.

If you believe that Sen. Obama was raised in the Muslim faith, click on this link.

If you believe that Sen. Obama's mentor was a U.S. communist party leader, click on this link.

And that is Schram's civic lesson for today.

Class dismissed.
