I noticed several Obama smears in the blogosphere today. I provided some links below the fold to prove they are not true. There is further coverage at my blog, www.heartlessandbrainless.com.
I’ve witnessed some fresh Republican smears today. However, the truth makes a wonderful antidote.
"Democrats hate American flags and apple pie": There’s a false rumor that thousands of American flags were found in a dumpster after the Democratic Convention. Supposedly some Boy Scouts rescued them and donated them to the McCain campaign. Then McCain resurrected Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae with a righteous fart. The truth is that the flags were getting collected for donation. CBS News provides the correct amount of righteous indignation.
"Obama admitted he's a Muslim": There is another rumor that Obama said he's a MuslimObama said he's a Muslim on This Week with George Stephanopoulus. I’ll give the Republicans bloggers the benefit of the doubt and assume they are intentionally lying when they say that clip makes them think Obama is a Muslim. No one could possibly be stupid enough not to know Obama’s true intentions. If they believe that then I have a http://tinyurl.com/... to sell them. It’s not like Obama confused the Sunnis and Shiites. I regret that last clip doesn’t show Lieberman whispering in McCain’s ear but the link titles were far too biased.
Some Republican surrogates feel that McCain win by spreading lies. Every day that Obama dismisses these rumors is time that he can’t explain his economic plans. These divisive tactics led to the last seven years. I understand that most Americans have other time priorities than the highly educated readers of this blog. Obama’s campaign has been masterful thus far. We shall see if the organization planned the endgame as well. It feels like Obama is following a plan while McCain is winging it.
