The Homepage for Left-y Truths

And so here's the homepage of Fight the Smears, the amply titled aggressive defense site from Barack Obama's campaign that aims to be a clearing house for refuting rumors, denying myths, and respinning the spin about the Illinois senator. It's sort of like hoax-busting site Snopes.com, but, you know, with actual pressing issues. It's also yet more evidence that Obama's camp "gets" the Internet, and understands its power to disseminate information. So, as John McCain continues to get slammed by things as simple as YouTube searches, Obama is purposely fighting Internet rumors that claim, for example, "Barack Obama Won't Say The Pledge of Allegiance/Won't Put His Hand Over His Heart." How to prove the critics wrong? YouTube, y'all.

This is a great idea. Now instead of annoying reporters continually asking about rumors they can be directed to this site. There won't be any excuse for their ignorance. This is a great effort to confront the rumors instead of ignoring them while making sure that they don't disrupt the campaign. I love the Obamas!
