Dana Milbank/WaPo's dangerous smear of Sarah Palin, supporters - 10/06/2008

Unctuous liar Dana Milbank - last discussed here in May regarding him misleading for Barack Obama - is back with an even more disgusting smear.

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

... an Ed O'Keefe post at the Washington Post. Needless to say, he just passes the ad on without doing what I did: spend a few minutes searching.
