Obama Strikes Back

It’s a political year and that means it’s time for smears and slander. Obama has been the main target of GOP lies since the primary began and now his campaign has decided not to repeat Kerry’s mistake and fight back. They put up a site called Fight The Smears where they correct the lies by providing proof of the truth. It probably would have been better for the Obama campaign to release this site earlier so that the easily influenced who have already fallen under the spell of a right-wing deceiver would be more open to the truth because they would have had less time for their belief in the lie to solidify. I’m sure that some people will come to see the truth and that it will set them free from the lies of conservative charlatans, but not as many as may have earlier in the campaign.

Now, I’m sure some people will respond “But that’s an Obama-run site, they’re in on it.” However, the Obama campaign uses independent sources to prove all of their claims. Snopes also addresses many of the lies which have been circulated about Obama and Snopes’ conclusion matches with the truth being released by the Obama campaign on every subject that they address.
