DNC Takes Over Obama's Lies

Howard Dean and Company pick up the lying where Barack Obama left off.

Barack Obama, after being beat up by numerous factcheckers for grossly misrepresenting Senator McCain's "100 Years" comment, finally dropped that distortion from his stump speech. Obama stopped using that discredited attack because it became obvious to all, even the admittedly Obamamania infected main stream media, that Obama's misrepresentation of McCain's comment was a "serious distortion to the point of rank falsehood."

Now the Democratic Party is out with an ad that not only continues the "Distortion," "Rank Falsehood," "Seriously Misleading" statements and "Outright Lying" about McCain's 100 year remarks, the Democrats' new ad is illegal as well:

New DNC Ad Quotes Sen. McCain Responding To A Question On How Long The U.S. Will Be In Iraq With The Words: “Maybe 100. That Would Be Fine With Me.” (DNC Website, www.democrats.org, Accessed 4/27/08)

Friday, the Republican Party of Virginia filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission stating the Democrats new ad against Senator McCain "is a coordinated communication between the DNC and its presidential candidates, Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama." Because the ad exceeds the $5,000 contribution limit, the Democrats' ad violates federal election law because the ad "is an excessive in-kind contribution from the national committee to its presidential candidates within the restricted window of time."

RNC Chairman Robert Duncan called on Howard Dean and company to stop airing the Democrats' "illegal & inaccurate" ads:

It is becoming increasingly clear that Howard Dean and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) will say and do anything to defeat John McCain, even violating federal election law. The conduct of the national party and its chairman in particular, is part of a developing pattern of reckless behavior and rhetoric that has questioned everything from Senator McCain’s integrity and character to his heroic and valiant military service to our nation.

Media reports detail that the DNC has recently been in communication with the campaigns of Senators Clinton and Obama. The reports also detail the fact that the DNC and the campaigns of their presidential candidates have coordinated strategy; therefore, the ad that is currently being run against Senator McCain cannot be an independent expenditure, as presented in the disclaimer.

This morning we saw yet another advertisement being announced by the Democrat National Committee which is not only illegal, but a complete distortion of Senator McCain’s comments and record.

This is the Democrats' outrageous and cynical response to Senator McCain's high-minded call for tolerance and respect.

You really can't stop the Democratic party from drinking it's own Kool-aid of deception and lies. They are who they are, so let the American People see them for the deceptive, power-hungry falsifiers they truly are. If we expose them, America will reject them and their candidates.
