Here is the first paragraph of the story I commented on early this morning:
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Sunday he does not think voters have a litmus test on religion, whether evangelical Christianity or his childhood years in the Muslim faith.
Now it says this (thanks to Hot Air):
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Sunday he does not think voters have a litmus test on religion, whether evangelical Christianity or his childhood years in a largely Muslim country.
As Allahpundit points out at Hot Air, Obama’s camp says he was never a Muslim. A statement there says: “To be clear, Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ in Chicago. Furthermore, the Indonesian school Obama attended in Jakarta is a public school that is not and never has been a Madrassa.”
So apparently AP has quietly corrected its story. How the error could have come about in the first place, I’m not sure. But this story should be laid to rest once and for all, and this candidate evaluated on his merits or lack thereof.
