Fight the Smear

by: Mike Hoefer

Thu Jun 12, 2008 at 12:30:00 PM EDT


The Obama campaign has launched a website, Fight the Smear, to help combat the chain emails that are spreading FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) about Barack Obama.

While I know that rapid response teams are nothing new, the website is a smart move well done. Not only does it contain the traditional "Fact Check" information, but it has built in email capabilities with suggestted language, facts, and proof points that make it easy to spread the truth. The challenges of 2004 were Drudge and Fox News. It seems the challenges of this election are going to be fighting FUDmail (...and Fox News).

So, if one of your friends/parents/crazy-uncles makes the mistake of including you on one of these FUDmails I'd encourage you to blast them (and everyone else they cc'd on the message!) with a shot of the truth.

This one drives my crazy. (0.00 / 0)
Am I the only one who feels the need to throw things at the television every time somebody compares John McCain to Teddy Roosevelt?  McCain himself does it constantly.

Here's a shot of the truth: Teddy Roosevelt was among our greatest leaders, and when the Republican Party left him, he left it.  In 1912.  If Teddy Roosevelt were alive today, he sure as hell wouldn't vote for John McCain.

Poll
How important is Obama's early opposition to the Iraq war?
By far the most important contrast with McCain
One of the top 3 or 4 Obama talking points
Equally important as the other major issues
Less important than his Iraq policy going forward
Being against Iraq in 2002 will not matter in 2008
It will actually end up hurting him
