Truth Squad for Obama?

And you think Obama's campaign is honorable?:laugh:


Obama's Trade Trickery
September 26, 2008
An Obama ad implies that a Pennsylvania plant sent jobs overseas and says that McCain is to blame. That's wrong.
Summary
An Obama-Biden ad ties McCain to the closing of a plant in Pennsylvania. Its assertions are misleading and false:

* The ad says McCain "sold ... out" workers whose factory closed. But there was nothing McCain, or anyone could have done. The factory was making parts for televisions that are becoming obsolete. The company in question has called the ad "misleading."

* It implies jobs were sent to China by saying that workers were paid to "disassemble the plant and ship the equipment to China" and that McCain "supported tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas." But the only things shipped to China were the parts.

* It's misleading to imply that McCain's support for the tax code in question is to blame for companies sending jobs overseas, as we've said before. The Obama-Biden campaign refers to a dynamic of U.S. tax code that allows companies to defer paying corporate income taxes on money they earn overseas and leave overseas. But the relationship to lost jobs is tenuous.

It shouldn't be legal to deceive voters like this. If he can't be truthful during his campaign, how do we expect him to be truthful while in office?

 

well, go ahead and hang your chad for him.:laugh:

I don't think there was any real chance of anyone being prosecuted for false political advertising.

Enough of these distractions, by both sides. We have serious issues in this country that need to be handled.
