 Thanks to 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!

And I think there is going to continue to be a LOT of reading available on that site.

Did you read (In the Telegraph, no less) about the Fox newsanchor E.D. Hill who made an offhand comment that the touching of fists that Michelle and Barack did on his winning night was a "terrorist fist jab."

Huh?

She got fired. No, I mean, she got taken off the air. Probably for a couple of minutes anyway.

Terrorist Fist Jab....
