    Are you really comparing the outright lies and fabrications of the McCain ad campaign to an Obama ad that stresses the true and verifiable connections of McCain to Ralph Reed? Almost every paragraph of your (Factcheck) column began with "That's true, but.." Can you say that about most of the McCain ads? Let me help you out with that one; No.

    I'm going to be fair here. Since I don't live in Georgia, I haven't seen the ad or know first-hand of its impact. But, it would seem that it is unfair and beneath the Obama campaign. I think there is more than enough REAL material to use against McCain, without stretching the truth.

    No kidding. Like Obama collecting campaign loot from said Jack Abramoffs firm?[125 grand from GREENBURG and TRAURIG].

    Obama should have steered clear of this one.

    Obama tells half truths and you praise him for it. Then go to say everything McCain says is a lie? That is post partisanship for ya.

    Again Factcheck.org is saying OBAMA TOLD THE TRUTH but they are interjecting their opinion trying to cloud the eventual outcome in favor of McCain.

    FACTCHECK.ORG NEEDS TO KEEP THEIR OPINIONS TO THEMSELVES AND NOT TRY AND PASS IT OFF AS FACT.

    Because they have shown their colors for McCain, trying to pass their opinion as fact, I believe their credibility has been greatly diminished.

    The money that Reed was paid originated from the Indian Casinos, was then laundered by a company called The American Center (a.k.a., Jack Abramoff), and then delivered to Century Strategies (a.k.a, Ralph Reed). Ralph Reed knew EXACTLY where that money came from. Ralph Reed is not going to go away. He knows that it doesn't matter what people think. He knows that people can't and won't stop him.

    He's telling
