#98QBKiller Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Story: http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSN1233299720080612 Web site: http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/fightthesmearshome/ Obama launches Web site to fight rumors WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has launched a Web site to dispel rumors about his faith and patriotism and his wife's views on race that have dogged his candidacy for more than a year. The Web site, at www.fightthesmears.com, offers detailed responses to several rumors that have continued to circulate online and in conservative news outlets despite efforts to knock them down, and encourages supporters to e-mail those responses to others. The Web site says the Illinois senator's wife, Michelle, who like her husband is black, has never used the racially divisive term "whitey," as some blogs and conservative commentators have said. Michelle has never spoken publicly at either of the two venues where she is alleged to have made the remark, the site says. The site also tackles false rumors that Obama, who will take on Republican John McCain in the November election, is Muslim. "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian," the site says. A photograph shows Obama with his hand on a Bible as he is sworn into the U.S. Senate, to counter a rumor that he used a Koran when he was sworn in. A CNN profile of the Indonesian school he attended as a child is used to dispel a rumor that it teaches radical Islamic tenets. The site also puts in context passages from Obama's books that have been excerpted as supposed evidence of his racial resentments, and contains a video of him leading the Pledge of Allegiance to dispel a rumor that he refuses to do so.

speardog1 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Unfortunately, there are some really stupid people out there, who believe everything they hear and see on television or foxnews, that probably don't use the internet. maybe these people for example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1x81XODP-o&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAARedskin Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Obama sounds like a guy that has plenty to hide, if he has to set up a team of people to fight rumors and smears. I cannot remember any presidential candidate ever doing something like this. He brought so much of this ON HIMSELF. There's a lot of Americans who have a real problem with a guy that is uneasy about pledging allegiance to the Flag, wanting to disarm gun owners, (look it up Einsteins, he gave a speech about this), and belonging to the radical 'church" for that many years that has a pastor that said "God Dam America." Oh, and if some of you wanna bash me, bring it on. I gotta news flash for you...you're not the only ones with an opinion. I find it soooo incredibly amazing that the Democratic party couldn't find someone MORE QUALIFIED to be their nominee for President of the United States. Instead, we get a guy that would be better suited to be a school's principal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lesson: If you aren’t going to moderate this section of your website, you should probably just get rid of it altogether, since it can really do more harm than good as far as the campaign is concerned."
