So why do they bother lying about it so very often?
Here's my favorite by far. I had already read the factcheck.org articles when I saw McCain's new commercial "quoting" factcheck.org. So I knew it was quoted in a completely inaccurate way. And lo and behold, factcheck.org also saw that commercial; and they did not care for their material being used in a nonfactual way. Check it all out here.
And have you seen the McCain-Palin commercial that makes the claim that Obama wants to teach sex in kindergarten? Yeah, that's not true either. Teaching something other than abstinence in school? Yes. Teaching sex in KG? No. The bill that's being referenced does call for education to start in KG. But it would be age-appropriate information -- things such as bad touching -- in the hopes of helping kids to protect themselves or at the very least to report anyone who dares to abuse them. You can read about this one here.
Did you watch McCain's acceptance speech at the RNC's convention? If so, did you wonder from time to time what he was talking about? Yeah, those "mistakes" are laid out here.
Finally, did you happen to catch Palin's speech at the convention? Even if you didn't, you've very likely seen clips of it (and if you haven't even seen clips, then you really need to leave the cave from time to time...). It was a mess. More "nontruths" than truths. You can can read about some of that here.
Obama and his folks have twisted some facts along the way as well. Though it is interesting to note that of the articles posted recently on factcheck.org, the McCain-Palin articles keep piling up, whereas there's been only one about Obama et al. since the DNC's convention. Additionally, there are 3 posts regarding the speeches at the Republican convention and only 1 post regarding the speeches at the Democratic convention. You can check all of this out here.
