Pippin:
So, um, people  against Obama in the recent US presidential election who spread out **facts**  about Obama's Muslim background were just putting the facts out there and letting people reach their own conclusions? And not contributing to any anti-Muslim feeling at all? 

See, Dumbledore does not have the status of a neutral observer who is just reporting facts. He is a known and dedicated opponent of Voldemort, so everything he says about Voldemort has negative spin, just because it's him saying it. I wish people were more objective than that. But they're not, IMO.
