'Smears' About Obama Largely True
Newsmax ^ | 10/20/08 | Lowell Ponte

The Obama campaign says its candidate is a victim of “smears” — and has even created a Web site to fight such attacks.

But a Newsmax investigation finds many of the so-called smears are largely based in truth — and the Obama campaign uses half-truths, clever language, and ad hominem attacks to spin the facts.

Obama’s www.FightTheSmears.com focuses mainly on anti-Obama messages being repeated on the Internet and talk radio, the only media where Obama's ideological allies are not dominant.

And America is shocked that they are true?
Where have the lame-brains been for the last several months? What do we do in a nation apparently half full of jack-a@@es that are bent on taking the rest of us with them into...

The left/democrats lie about the right/Republicans but are believed. The right/Republicans tell the truth about the left/democrats and are not believed. Truly amazing.

I wonder if I will make it to the Obama Smear List? Ooh I hope so! Maybe my youtube videos will help, lol!

My Hubby FORCED me to do this. I didn’t want to but I am taking a hit for the team and trying to get the word out in every way possible.

Take a peek and pass them along.

Your videos are great! I'm sending them to friends via emails. (an old friend in Colorado just sent me an email that says, "This happened in Texas"--you're so famous!)

The one “smear” that they don’t focus on is the natural born citizenship question. the less attention on that, the better for them.
