Was Obama sworn in on Koran?

Liberal radio hosts often say that the reason people give for not wanting to vote for Obama is that they think he was sworn in to the Senate on the Koran. He wasn't. These liberals want to throw this up as a straw man- look they say, these evil bigoted conservatives have phony reasons for not liking the One. They mention this far more than conservatives do- in fact, most conservatives don't like the One for many other reasons, not the straw one the liberals throw up.

I think though that what annoys me most about this is that the liberals say that Republicans and conservatives won't vote for Obama because he was sworn in the Koran, and they do this to demonstrate that we're all evil conniving worms who use scare tactics and what not, and there is absolutely no basis for truth in what we think. I think this obscures the fact that although the Democratic Congressman African-American liberal male from the north named Barak Obama did not swear in on the Koran, the Democratic Congressman Muslim-American liberal male from the north named Keith Ellison did.

So instead of this of this being a scare tactic by evil people, it is more of a simple mix up of unpatriotic Democratic liberal Congressman, and so more in the realm of a simple mistake. I think that comparing Ellison to Obama is a better comparison than comparing McCain to Bush, something the Democrats frequently do.
