Truth: the first casualty of war and also politics

Truth is just one option for the Obama camp. If a lie works for their purpose, then they clearly have no problem using one. In a continuing, pathetic attempt to discredit Sarah Palin, the Obamabots have questioned her party affiliation, claiming she was a member of the Independence Party and also a supporter of Pat Buchanan. The Miami Herald this week quoted an e-mail from Obama Florida spokesman Mark Bubriski that stated: "Palin was a supporter of Pat Buchanan, a right-winger or as many Jews call him: a Nazi sympathizer." So, what is the truth?  Voter registration records and past news reports show Palin never registered as a member of the Independence Party, and backed Steve Forbes' presidential campaign in 2000, not Buchanan. In fact, the Associated Press reported that Palin served as a co-chair of Forbes' campaign. Now, this is all documented, and the Obama campaign knows it, but they made the decision to lie to boost Obama's support among Florida's Jewish community. That's change we can believe in!
