Pants on Fire

Obama intentionally distorts facts and quotations to portray McCain as anti-immigrant in Spanish.

The greater implication the ad makes, however, is that McCain is no friend to Latinos at all, beyond issues of funding the DREAM act or how NCLB money is distributed. By linking McCain to Limbaugh?s quotes, twisting Limbaugh?s quotes, and tying McCain to more extremist anti-immigration voices, the Obama campaign has crossed a line into misleading the viewers of its new TV ad. In Spanish, the word is erróneo.

That's Jake Tapper, no consistent friend to the McCain-Palin ticket.

Also, 77% of Obama's ads are "negative," compared to 56% for McCain.

Obama: Change you used to believe in, but are now resigned to vote for as the lesser of two evils.
