I just pulled up the snopes.com article about Barack Obama to quote at my mom over the phone, after she said said that she was worried "not so much about the black as the fact that he went to school at one of those, er, uh, what-you-calls." Sheesh. (She was thinking of "madrassa".)

The tactic mentioned there of simply lying about something being confirmed on Snopes is interesting. It shows they've hit the big time, I guess.
