Morris is prominently featured in the anti-Obama documentary “Hype,” where he is the most prolific liar among a large number of competitors. Morris makes various lies about Obama’s tax plan and even claims that doctors will be banned from providing health care under Obama: "it's okay for him to perform an abortion, but if he gives you that bypass, he's going to lose his license."
#7. David Bossie
Bossie is the head of Citizens United, a far-right group which was started in 1988 to run the infamous racist "Willie Horton" ads against Michael Dukakis. Bossie is back trying to smear Barack Obama with a series of false ads and a feature-length documentary called “Hype” which repeats numerous lies about Obama and his record that I’ve <a href="click here in detail</a>.
#6. Sarah Palin
She’s the new kid in smear school, but boy does she learn fast, dontcha know. Her enthusiasm for telling lies is what really sets her apart from the typical Republican. Of course, she began by lying about herself, pretending that she opposed the Bridge to Nowhere and posing as Miss Maverick (somehow ignoring how she was a director of the “Ted Stevens Excellence in Public Service Inc.” 527). But Palin has quickly made Obama the primary target of her propensity to lie.
Palin declares at every stop, “Barack Obama voted 94 times for higher taxes.” It’s a lie that’s been <a href="click here long ago by <a href="click here sources</a>. (Palin doesn’t mention that by this same standard, McCain has voted for higher taxes at least <a href="click here times</a>.)
Palin claims, “Unlike Barack Obama, John McCain will not support cutting off funding for troops in the war zone”–-indifferent to the fact that McCain had also voted against a funding bill, or that none of these votes would ever endanger the troops.
According to Palin, “To withhold medical intervention for a baby who is born alive as a result of a botched abortion and to allow that child to die without the medical intervention that that child deserves, it's appalling to me and I think it should concern voters."(Sarah Palin, interview with Christian Broadcasting Network, Oct. 21, 2008) The Washington Post fact checker <a href="click here “it is unfair to accuse Obama of supporting the withdrawal of medical treatment from babies born as the result of a botched abortion. He has never adopted such an 'extreme' position.”
Palin proclaims, “We need a leader with truthfulness”(Oct. 31) while she spreads a seemingly endless list of lies about Obama.
#5. Jerome Corsi
Corsi’s book attacking Obama hit the top of the best-seller list, despite the enormous number of <a href="click here and errors that I</a> (and others) found in it.
Corsi is a genuine nutcase, and even wrote a book about his belief that George W. Bush is trying to destroy America by merging it with Mexico and Canada. Since his Obama book, Corsi has been pushing the insane belief that Obama’s birth certificate is a fake.
#4. Sean Hannity
Sean Hannity is the leading promoter of sleaze on cable news talk shows, and his name appears throughout my list of 1,117 lies and smears about Obama.. His Hannity’s America program pushed some bizarre conspiracy theories about Obama, including the anti-Semite Andy Martin’s view that Ayers has been secretly controlling Obama for decades as part of a covert plot for revolution. Hannity also uses the “Hannity & Colmes” show to spout the usual lies about Obama, and Hannity also has a radio show where he spouts nonsense like claiming that Obama's proposal "for rescinding the Bush tax cuts" would result in "families of four that make $50,000 a year ... paying another $2,000 in taxes a year."(July 9, 2008)
#3. Rush Limbaugh
My <a href="http://TruthObama.com">TruthObama.com</a> list included 100 lies and smears by Limbaugh (#170-#269), and I’ve detailed his lies <a href="click here Limbaugh has pushed some astonishingly stupid theories on his show, including the idea that Obama is using hypnosis on people, and that Bill Ayers wrote Obama’s memoir.
