 Thanks to [profile] frankwu for this. There's been a site set up to present immediate counters to the slime and smears thrown at Barack Obama by the McCain campaign and its proxies, the gutter-media hatemongers: http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/fightthesmearshome/.

Here's a sample page (somewhat trimmed), this one concerning the Michelle Obama/"whitey" lie:

===========

The truth about Michelle


Lie:

On May 30th, Rush Limbaugh said he had heard a rumor that a tape exists of Michelle Obama using the word “Whitey” from the pulpit of Trinity United Church of Christ.

Truth:

No such tape exists. Michelle Obama has not spoken from the pulpit at Trinity and has not used that word.


Lie:

Blogger Larry Johnson wrote on May 31st that he would add “New and dramatic developments. This is a heads up. I’ll post the news Monday morning by 0900 hours. Now I know why people who have seen the videotape say it is stunning. Barack’s headaches are only starting.”

Read the post

Truth:

Johnson posted no such update.


Lie:

Proven GOP sleazemeister Roger Stone said on Fox News on June 1st that “there's a buzz, which I believe now to be credible, that some indelible record exists” of a tape of Michelle Obama using the term “whitey.”

Truth:

Stone conceded on June 2nd that he hasn’t met anyone who has seen the tape and that it therefore may be a hoax. 



Lie:

“The Michelle Obama Rant Tape was filmed between June 26th - July 1st 2004 in Chicago, IL at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Conference at Trinity United Church: specifically the Women’s Event.”

Read the post

Truth:

Michelle Obama was not on a panel, and the Rainbow Push Conference was at the Sheraton.

Lots of fun reading for all!

Hi Frank

Is spacekatgirl out of the Big House as well, yet? I've been trying to keep an eye out for her news (although for obvious reasons I've not been online very much).

Yup, Brianna is out of the hospital and back home in Denver. Most of the fever and pain has gone away, still a little bleeding. But she's going to get on a plane on Monday and come see me! Hurrah! (I couldn't go there because of work.) But, yeah! She's doing much better!
