Now that Obama and Hillary have united a once divided Democratic Party (appearing together in Unity, New Hampshire was cheesy I know, but the point remains the same)....now that Barack Obama leads in national polls over John McCain by an average of seven points....now that the future of conservatism in America is looking increasingly grim...now are desperate times for those opposed to the election of Barack Obama in November, and desperate times call for desperate measures.

After taking widespread heat for the false Swiftboat Veteran’s for Truth adds that publicly sabotaged Senator John Kerry’s presidential campaign in 2004 (the fact that he looked like Frankenstein didn’t help either), the conservative propag anda machine has resorted to less mainstream means to begin their mis-leading manipulation of the public’s perception of Barack Obama. I speak of the internet. Mass emails. False rumors. Lies derived for the sole purpose of scaring the American people from the one man they need the most.
Just yesterday a classmate, an ex-Marine ,and very intellectual person from past interactions, tapped my shoulder and said, “Hey Nate, did you hear about “the whitey” video!
Michelle Obama is on tape saying how pissed she is at the 'whiteys.'
I knew she was racist, how can you not be going to a church with that black preacher who hates white America?”
I looked back at him surprised, then politely responded, “I doubt such a video exists.”
Turns out I was correct, as has been the case on a multiple of claims others believe based on an email their uncle-in-law sent them.
No, Obama did not swear on the Koran instead of the Bible.
No, Obama is not a Muslim.
No, Obama did not attend a radical Islamic madrassa as a child in Indonesia (it was a public school with American-inspired separation of church and state statutes in place).
No, Barack Hussein Obama is not a genetic superbeing comprised of duel-DNA of both Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, but I bet someone out there believes it.
The only thing more surprising than the blatant butchering of the truth present in the smears is the impact they are having on otherwise intelligent Americans, and I’m tired of it. Apparently, so is Barack Obama. He recently responded to a number of these “forwarded falsehoods” by creating a new website that disproves them with clarity and reliable sources. If you are going to spend your time on the internet to find out the truth about the presidential candidates, I recommend you pay a visit to both…
