Rightwing Lies About Senator Obama:
Many to choose from

 

No sooner did Senator Barack Obama burst on the national political stage than the rightwing lie machine cranked up and started smearing him.  Now ( June 2008 ) that he is the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, the lies about him are piling up higher and higher. 

The lies are coming from the usual sources:  Washington Times, Rush Limbaugh, Fox Network, Laura Ingraham, Hannity, O'Reilly, and various Internet lie machines such as Newsmax and WorldNetDaily.

The purpose of this section is to point out the rightwing lies about Senator Obama and set the record straight -- but, first, let's visit two other websites that are shining the light of truth on the rightwing lie machine:

 

Obama's own Fight The Smear website

Having seen what the "SwfitBoaters" did to John Kerry, Senator Obama has set up a website aimed at fighting the lies and smears against him.  Here's a link to the site:

Snopes is on the trail of lies about Obama

www.snopes.com, the website that exposes urban legends and Internet lies, has a whole section on the lies being told about Senator Obama -- check out Snopes regularly:

Here are the contents of this website's section on Senator Obama:

  •  Who, what, where is the origin of the e-mails claiming that Senator Obama is a Muslim?  Here's an attempt to locate the source.
     

  • Obama "dresses like a radical Muslim."  Of course, no one can tell us how a "radical Muslim" dresses, but, truth never stopped a rightwinger.
     

  •  LIE:  Obama was sworn into office as a Senator on the Koran.  FACT:  He was sworn in on his family Bible.
     

  •  James Dobson -- well-known "religious right" TV preacher -- has attacked Senator Obama's Christian faith.  Read about it here.
     

  • More to come. 

 

 

The Commies had Pravda; the Republicans have Fox.
