Truth, lies, and politics

squashed:

Additionally, if somebody comes across a single recent Obama ad that fails the minimal more truth than falsehood test, let me know. I haven’t seen any of his like this yet.

How about this one?

This one is kinda shady.

This ad was as sleezy as any of them, relying on incomplete information to create a rather unfair implication.

This one doesn’t fair too well either.  Or this one.  

I particularly like this one, which is misleading for a couple of reasons.

As far as I can tell, the vast majority of Obama’s ads that mention McCain misrepresent something.  The fact is, Obama has put up a ton of misleading and false stuff, and I don’t believe he’s apologized for any of it.  All that talk about how the Democrats don’t know how to fight dirty is baloney.
