WAPO'S BACON IS JUST LIKE A WINGNUT

psericks at DKos notes that the WaPo comes under well-deserved criticism for essentially spreading wingnut lies about Barack Obama. The article in dispute is this:

ON THE DEMOCRATIC FRONT
Foes Use Obama's Muslim Ties to Fuel Rumors About Him
By Perry Bacon Jr.Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, November 29, 2007; Page A01



In keeping with his inaccurate reporting, Bacon writes:

Despite his denials, rumors and e-mails circulating on the Internet continue to allege that Obama (D-Ill.) is a Muslim, a "Muslim plant" in a conspiracy against America, and that, if elected president, he would take the oath of office using a Koran, rather than a Bible, as did Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), the only Muslim in Congress, when he was sworn in earlier this year.

As ThinkProgress learned, Ellison was NOT sworn in on the Koran or any other religious book. NO ONE in the House is.
