We have to spread the truth about McCain ourselves because it's clear the corporate media won't.
NOW. FAST. FURIOUS. EVERYWHERE.
Watch the video and forward it to everyone you know.

We are in the two-minute drill with no timeouts. No more sitting on the sidelines and allowing the McCain campaign to rack up points with countless distortions.


As we've seen with The Real McCain2


(nearly 4.5 million views and counting!), once the truth gets out, it's hard to stop. In the last few days we have seen a disgusting descent


into the worst of sleazy smear politics.


We need to spread the facts and the truth. Send this to your friends and relations, especially if they are unsure or undecided -- they're more willing to believe you than a talking head!

Spread the truth. Don't wait. It starts with you.

1. I sent this out a few days ago.

Only one negative response, from a person who (typically) couldn't address the real subject at all, but took umbrage at McSame being called what he is -- a LIAR.

6. This email must be going around

and it just reached me. I was thnking of forwarding it to a close friend who is also a Republican, but our relationship is already strained by what is going on in the political arena.
It's hard for Republicans to swallow the rancid truth.

2. ummm why dont u tell us what these videos are about so we can choose to view them or not? nt

7. I have to concur. YouTube links without the slightest synopsis

really don't compel me to click. Time is precious. I need at least a brief statement of the content of the linked video.

8. Short descriptions of the videos with titles.

The first one is called "McCain's YouTube Problem Just Became a Nightmare", a short by Robert Greenwald (actually named "The Real McCain 2").

It's 3:14.

The second is a compilation of lies from McCain and is called "John McCain's ads are LIES. Here's the video proof."

It's 3:13 and debunks McCain lies in his ads.

9. In case you don't have time to open the links - here's a rundown.

You may have already seen them on DU.

New McCain Ad Falsely Suggests Obama Wants Kids To Learn "About Sex Before Learning To Read"

Ad on Sex Education Distorts Obama Policy

Escalating its efforts to portray Senator Barack Obama as a candidate whose values fall outside the mainstream, the campaign of Senator John McCain on Tuesday unveiled a new television advertisement claiming that Mr. Obama, the Democratic nominee, favors “comprehensive sex education” for kindergarten students.

“Learning about sex before learning to read?” the narrator asks in the 30-second advertisement, which the campaign says will be shown in battleground states and on national cable. The commercial also asserts that a sex-education bill introduced in Illinois, which Mr. Obama did not sponsor and which never became law, is his “one accomplishment” in the field of education.

Both sets of accusations, however, seriously distort the record.

The original controversy dates to 2003, when a bill to modify the teaching of sex education in Illinois was introduced in the Legislature. The proposal was supported by a coalition of education and public health organizations, including the Illinois Parent Teacher Association, the Illinois State Medical Society, the Illinois Public Health Association and the Illinois Education Association....
