Follow this link to a New York Times article about Governor Rendell and the Obama campaign’s reaction to the big lie campaign from McCain and Palin. Specifically, Rendell was complaining about the lies McCain/Palin are spewing over Obama’s tax plan. They keep saying he will raise taxes on the middle class when the Obama plan will do the exact opposite of that.
The only way to counter a Big Lie campaign is to state the Big Truth much more often than the other campaign can state the Big Lie.
Counting the number of statements of the Big Lie must include every political cartoon, every newspaper article, every letter to the editor, every hallway conversation. Those who believe in the truth must be part of the counter effort.
You could also follow this link to see and to sponsor the Obama/Biden ad that helps counter the Big Lie.
You could follow this link to see more Big Lies that need countering and see the video that counters them.
You could follow this link to see my suggestion on the Obama Campaign’s web site for a Lieometer in all of Obama’s ads against the Big Lie. If that suggestion would get enough views and comments, the Obama campaign might take notice.
RichardH,
I have taken your suggestion to put a little more specificity in the title. I have also mentioned what Gov. Rendell was complaining about in the New York Times article.
Thank you for your comments about how to write better blog entries. I encourage other readers with suggestions to put them into comments so everyone can see them.
I suggest in both your emails that announce a new blog entry and on
your blog entries themselves, that you be OVERT about what the subject
is. In this blog entry, for example, you do not state that it
concerns lies about Obama’s tax policies and their supposed impact on
the population.
I am much more likely to read an entry if I know what it is about beforehand.
When there is no explicit preview, the Big Lie could be about Obama’s
overgrown nose hair. Eeeyou.
