An update on the number of RW lies being told about Obama. I checked Snopes today to see what lies the wingers are spreading about Obama now. The current count is below.
Total emailed rumors filed under "Obama": 26. Number of negative: 25 (and the one positive is really about RFK as much as it is about Obama.)
OK, that’s 25 negative emails. So, how true are they? Totally False: 16 Partly False : 5 Unknown: 3 True: 1 (which lacks context which would have made it less negative)
Wow, out of 22 emails with verifiable facts, 21 are either total or partial LIES.
Now, how does McCain compare? Total Emails: 4 (!?!) Positive 3 Negative 1
A big, big difference. How many are of the 4 are true? Three (3), some of which lack context which would have made them less favorable. For example, the email about how great Cindy McCain is, neglects her stealing drugs given to her charity. An oversight I'm sure.
The only one ranked as unknown is the one negative.
So, out of 3 emails about McCain with verifiable facts, NONE are lies.
So, which side, left or right, relies on lies and smears in their campaigns? I think it's clear that the RW "wins", hands-down.
Feel free to use this in any response to the RW smear emails you receive.
