The Lies About Obama

By Brent Budowsky
August 12, 2008

What is the responsibility of reporters, editors and publishers when a candidate for high office is the target of a campaign of attack and personal destruction employing the systematic use of lies, smears, innuendo and character assassination?

J'accuse: What is happening in the 2008 general election is that Senator McCain has (literally) hired highest level operatives who worked for George Bush and Karl Rove (this is simply a fact) and is employing the carbon copy tactics that Rove used against his political opponents (including McCain himself).

Au contraire!

This is a fact: Today Barack Obama is subject to what is probably the greatest concentrated attacks of smears, lies and innuendo in the lifetime of anyone who reads these words.

The relentless smears, lies and innuendoes launched against the Clintons far out-number those that Obama has been subjected to.

I'm sure that regular visits to this site will provide us with many "lies about Obama."

And BTW, fact-checker, it seems that most of those "lies and innuendo" "against the Clintons" turned out to be true. Monica Lewinsky? Stained blue dress? Anti-Italian comments recorded by Gennifer Flowers? To be sure, there were people who called them murderers, and they should have been dismissed as just as ridiculous as the moonbats on the far Left who level such charges against GWB and Dick Cheney.

Of course, it's not a "smear," a "lie," or "innuendo" when it's true. What is scandalous about the Clintons wasn't the questions that were rightly raised about the big things. It was the questions that were answered in the affirmative about the comparatively small things.

People would do well to check
everything they hear about Barack
Obama. You certainly cannot depend
on the "media" to give you the facts. Their distortion of the news would be a laughing matter if
it wasn't so serious. However they will keep you up to the minute on Paris and Britney.
