FactCheck.org is the organization that noticed the McCain Campaign broke the 9/11 Truce when they aired their latest attack ad in Denver on 9/11 which also happenned to be posted on YouTube the same day. The non-partisan organization also noted that none of the points of the attack were true:
The ad says "they said she was doing 'what she was told.'" But the Obama adviser who's being quoted didn't accuse Palin of meekly following orders. What he actually said is that she made a false claim about Obama's legislative record and added, "maybe that's what she was told."The McCain Campaign seems to be really fond of disingenuous attacks and innuendo such as the attack ad that purported that Barack Obama supported a bill to teach kindergarteners to use condoms before they learn how to read.
It says "they lashed out at Sarah Palin; dismissed her as 'good looking,'" But "they" didn't lash out at all. Obama -- who is the one pictured -- didn't say anything like that. The only one the McCain campaign quotes is Obama's running mate, Biden, and he actually offered the remark as a compliment. Biden said the "obvious" difference between Palin and himself is "she's good looking."
The ad says Obama was "disrespectful" when he accused Palin of "lying" about her record. But the truth is Palin's claim to have "said no" to the "bridge to nowhere" is indeed a dubious one, as we and many have pointed out.
Anyone who would believe that is either an idiot or overly cynical beyond repair. It turns out that the bill was to be "age appropriate" and among other useful aspects, it called for teaching children to look out for predators and teach them where adults are not allowed to touch them.
If the McCain Campaign wants to continue with this kind of logic, then we can all deduce that John McCain is soft on Pedophilia and his supporters would want to support him for that reason.
