The Truth About Barack Obama:

Rumors the Obama campaign shouldn't try to correct.

The Barack Obama presidential campaign introduced a new site last week, FightTheSmears.com, that it hopes will debunk persistent myths about the senator: that he's a Muslim, that he won't say the Pledge of Allegiance, etc. As we have argued before, restating the myths often reinforces them, no matter how persuasively they've been refuted.

"Here is my advice as we begin the century that will lead to 2081. First, guard the freedom of ideas at all costs.

So we thought we'd dip our toes into that one today. Now, mom has no particular side. (Democratic or Republican) But I am a Democrat. So, we'll see!!
