The Smear backfires with misquote!

Senator Barack Obama’s new web venture “Fight the Smears” is an ostensible effort to combat some dark smear campaign he contends has been launched against him with truth. Turns out a key “smear” is itself a distortion and involved branding longtime political pundit Roger Stone a sleaze.

The Obama website says Stone said he had “credible evidence that some indelible record exists” of a tape of Michelle Obama using the term “whitey.” In fact the transcript from Geraldo Rivera, ‘GERALDO AT LARGE,’ on FOX shows what Stone said was “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.” Stone point out he never used the expression “credible evidence.”

The Obama website attacks Stone saying, “Proven GOP sleazemeister Roger Stone says he has “credible evidence that some indelible record exists” of a tape of Michelle Obama using the term “whitey. ” Because the Obama website doesn’t include source citations it appears to be false and misleading, and this needs to be corrected and more attention paid to the truth if the venture is to be credible. Obama is almost certain to find himself issuing yet another of his patent disclaimers and pushing another hapless soul under the bus.
