A new Obama smear

James Forsyth 7:44pm

To the Obama is a Muslim sleeper agent slur we can add the absurd charge that his father might have married his mother as part of a Communist plot to stir up revolutionary anger among African-Americans. It really is amazing that this kind of gutter speculation is given house room by people and places that should know better.

I can imagine no one less likely to favour anything like Sharia Law than a Muslim-born convert to Christianity.

I would have thought THE SPECTATOR was not excluded from these "people and places" you talk about. Why bother giving the oxygen of publicity to this kind of garbage story anyway?
