Yeah, I can already see its benefits - aggregating FF discussions back onto the blog entries, plus it gives us the avatar (without using gravatars)

It makes me sad that Americans are so easily misled that we have to have a "truth page" to dispel the slander and rumors. Hate politics now. (The "baby mama" crack about pushed me over the edge.)

I saw a previous comment implying that this is something new, but it really isn't. The election of 1800 was much more vicious than our 21st century elections.

Now here is an amazingly potent use of the internet you can bet McCain can't deal with. I just shared on Facebook and am going to digg now. :-)
- Mary Anne Davis
Why do you say that McCain can't deal with it?
- Ontario Emperor
Seems like it ought to be harder to lie and smear in this era of connectivity. I understand that in times where communications were slow it was easy to slander folks, I was just silly and naive enough to think it wouldn't happen now.

The religious stuff bugs me about that site. He's not a muslim, but so what if he was? Why would that be bad? Is there anything wrong with that?

If you're a diigo user, please take a look at the comment left on the site and then email the campaign to let them know. Here's a quick screencast I made: http://screencast.com/t...

Michael & Chris - reality is that the only worst than being black to the far right: being a Muslim.
- R. Ferguson
Gee, would you like to post a link to the Fight the Smear against John McCain website. Oh, that's right, no one is smearing him.
- Michael Tefft
I don't know about that... the old stuff can get a little out of hand
- Stefan Hayden
Agreed Stefan, but he kinda asked for it by admitting he has no idea how to use a computer. How can you be president in the 21st century with pre-1970s tech skills?

@Ruth But surely this is just pandering to that fascist mentality.
- Chris Nixon
@TranceMist I think that wish is about 4 months gone

TranceMist I am afraid I enjoy social media tools but it drives me to tears to "read" about it ALL the time. So instead I obsess on the campaign...LOL
- R. Ferguson
Michael - tough call if it is pandering. I believe Obama is DETERMINED if he loses it will not be by quietly sitting by and getting swiftboated.
- R. Ferguson
When he get's into office he should reform election campaign laws.
- Chris Nixon
@TranceMist: You do know how to use the "hide" feature, right?
- Chris Reed
@Ruth Swiftboating is when people come out and tell the truth about someone, not slandering or lying.
- Dave Roth
Re "no smears against McCain" - if questions to HRC about Monica Lewinsky are off topic, what about questions about McCain's first wife?
- Ontario Emperor
from fftogo
@Ontario the difference there is one was already wrung through the wringer of congressional impeachment hearings
- Michael W. May

@Dave you have to be kidding. @Ruth you are right on. Kerry made it clear that ignoring controversial issues is not an effective strategy these days.
