Obama lies about illegal aliens covered under Obamacare; abortions, "death panels" - 8/23/2009

In yesterday's radio address, Barack Obama said [1]: So today, I want to spend a few minutes debunking some of the more outrageous myths circulating on the internet, on cable TV, and repeated at some town halls across this country... Let's start with the false claim that illegal immigrants will get health insurance under reform. That’s not true. Illegal immigrants would not be covered...

Obama keeps lying about number of uninsured "Americans" - 8/11/2009

Earlier today, Barack Obama held a town hall about healthcare [1] and - leaving all other issues aside - he lied: I don't have to explain to you that nearly 46 million Americans don't have health insurance coverage today. In the wealthiest nation on Earth, 46 million of our fellow citizens have no coverage. As pointed out many times before, that number is off by around 9 million. Accordi...

Barack Obama misled about regular attendance at Rev. Wright's church - 11/14/2008

[SEE THE CORRECTION] During the election, Barack Obama downplayed his attendance record at Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ, but a March 27, 2004 interview (link) he conducted with Cathleen Falsani - the Religion Columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times - contradicts those claims. Falsani asked Obama whether he's still attending TUCC, and he replies: Yep. Every week. 11 ...

Maria Gavrilovic/CBS News: Barack Obama opposes the North American Union. Oh, really. - 10/19/2008

Maria Gavrilovic of CBS News offers 'Obama Addresses N.C. Voter Who Called Him "Socialist"' (link) in which she allows Barack Obama to mislead and confuses what someone says with what they actually believe: [At a campaign stop in Fayetteville, North Carolina, someone] asked the Democratic nominee about the North American Union, which he opposes. "I know some people hav...

Live coverage: John McCain/Barack Obama Hofstra "debate", 10/15/08 - 10/15/2008

Live coverage of the "debate" at Hofstra University between John McCain and Barack Obama commences now. McCain is taking BHO to task for the "Sarah Palin is a ****" t-shirts and for BHO's implication of widespread rabble-rousing at McCain/Palin rallies. And, BHO is stumbling. He indeed has a "glass jaw", yet no one wants to take advantage of his lack of experienc...

Barack Obama lied about ACORN involvement (he was a trainer) - 10/10/2008

[UPDATE 2: the BHO campaign changed their website, possibly to admit that he was indeed an ACORN trainer.] Barack Obama has been caught in yet another of his lies. Here's what his "Fight the Smears" website says about his involvement with ACORN (fightthesmears.com/articles/20/acornrumor): Discredited Republican voter-suppression guru Ken Blackwell is attacking Barack Obama with ...

Barack Obama was New Party member (far-left; Democratic Socialists of America?) - 10/08/2008

According to an October, 1996 page from the New Party (link) and a November, 1996 article from the editor of the Progressive Populist (Jim Cullen, link), Barack Obama was a member of the "New Party". The New Party is a now-defunct, left-leaning alternative to the Democrats and the Republicans that promoted "fusion voting" (newparty.org). It was started by Daniel Cantor (formerl...

John McCain/Barack Obama townhall debate live coverage (10/7/08) - 10/07/2008

Live coverage of the John McCain/Barack Obama town hall "debate" - concomitant with me weeping for those who want to turn our political system into something closely approximating the Soviet Union - begins now. The questions I've seen so far are simply allowing them to replay their stock speeches. You bet BHO supports nuclear energy. His contributors depend on it. Tom Brokaw has a f...

Barack Obama threatens licenses of stations running NRA ad (National Rifle Association) - 9/25/2008

The National Rifle Association is running an advertising campaign (their site) highlighting what they say is Barack Obama's "10 Point Plan to 'Change' the Second Amendment". Their various claims involve him wanting to ban handguns, certain types of ammunition, and so forth. Needless to say, the Obama campaign disagrees, and in fact they've gone as far as issue a not-s...

Barack Obama Spanish-language ad continues misleading about McCain economy "strong" comment - 9/23/2008

Two new related Spanish-language ads from the Barack Obama campaign - unlike their previous effort - don't appear at first glance to contain outright lies in the misstatement of a fact sense. However, they do continue the proud BHO tradition of taking someone's words out of context. In this case, it concerns the John McCain quote "the fundamentals of our economy are strong", wh...

Barack Obama lies about Rush Limbaugh in Spanish-language ads - 9/17/2008

The Barack Obama campaign has a new Spanish-language ad that features racial demagoguery and a distortion of Rush Limbaugh quotes. You can see the ad here: "They want us to forget the insults we've put up with, the intolerance," the television ad's announcer says in Spanish as a picture of Rush Limbaugh appears onscreen with quotes of him saying, "Mexicans are stupid and ...

John McCain ad was right and Barack Obama, MSM misled about BHO's kindergartener sex education bill - 9/16/2008

Earlier this month the John McCain campaign released an ad (link, video link) saying in part: "Obama's one accomplishment? Legislation to teach "comprehensive sex education" to kindergartners. Learning about sex before learning to read? Barack Obama. This has led to a wide variety of BHO supporters - specifically those in the MSM - calling McCain a liar. To a certain...

Barack Obama lies about Census Bureau poverty statistics - 8/26/2008

You could have seen this coming from miles away. The Census Bureau today released their 2007 statistics on poverty and those without health insurance. Also today, Barack Obama lied when he said: "Another 816,000 Americans fell into poverty in 2007 — including nearly 500,000 children — bringing the total increase in Americans in poverty under President Bush to 5.7 million... And on Bush’...

Obama campaign creatively edits Jerome Corsi quote; his supposed "widely discredited beliefs"; calls him "Truther" - 8/14/2008

The Barack Obama campaign is promulgating to their followers and others a PDF about Jerome Corsi's latest book "Obama Nation"; you can download it here: my.barackobama.com/page/invite/corsi Some of their debunking in parts of it may be accurate or not, etc. However, in one section they've "creatively edited" Corsi. From the section called "CONSIDER THE SOURCE: CO...

NAFTAGate 2: Barack Obama backs off NAFTA opposition, admits being deceptive - 6/18/2008

From this: In an interview with Fortune to be featured in the magazine's upcoming issue, the presumptive Democratic nominee backed off his harshest attacks on the free trade agreement and indicated he didn't want to unilaterally reopen negotiations on NAFTA. "Sometimes during campaigns the rhetoric gets overheated and amplified," he conceded, after I reminded him that he ha...

Barack Obama misleads, smears Middle America - 4/11/2008

Speaking in San Francisco at a fundraiser for the wealthy (and in Marin County no less; pictures of his tour here), Barack Obama smeared Pennsylvanians and others by saying: "You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administra...

Barack Obama: no evidence of North American Union, confirms NAFTA Superhighway (?), says not CFR member - 4/02/2008

In Lancaster, Pennsylvania on 3/31/08, an audience member asked Barack Obama whether he's a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and asks about the North American Union. He denied being a member of the CFR, and said he didn't see any evidence of the NAU. However, in his discussion of the NAU he described something sounding an awful lot like the NAFTA Superhighway. If you go to one ...
