"Republican" Women for Obama: Powerline's John Hinderaker Exposes A Dishonest Ad
In this new ad for Obama, five women claim to be long-time Republicans. However, because (as they claim) the Party has moved so far right, they are voting for Obama.
None of the women are identified by name. However, John Hinderaker has done some investigating and has identified two of the women. Those women, despite their claims, are not long-time Republicans. One has been registered a Democrat since 2006. On her Facebook page she lists a litany of liberal causes among her "likes."
The other woman is the mother of the first--a fact that the ad neglects to mention. On her Facebook page she mentions that the Rachel Maddow Show is her favorite television show. Doesn't sound like a Republican to me.
Once again, the Powerline guys have done some outstanding work to expose dishonesty on the left.

Facebook reveals the truth again. You would think the Left would have realized this. Now how do you get a Facebook campaign to expose these two liars?

It is one thing to get caught out in the occasional error, it is another to systematically lie on almost every occasion, throughout the organization from top to bottom. Of course, among his supporters this passes for "clever" and "working the rubes". Remember when Obama submitted a budget that eliminated the deficit and put us on track to pay off the debt? Me neither, but that was how he introduced more than one of his dead on arrival spendiferous budgets.
The lying worked so much better in his community agitator days.
Full kudos to John Hinderaker, normally there is a lot less work in catching Bumbling Barry's lies.

No one actually takes these kinds of ads to be factual, do they? Even Leftists must know, deep in their hearts, that political ads are propaganda. Surely independent voters do.

Whoopsie! Also, I love the idea that it was so impossible to find any Republican women for Obama in a nation of 300 million people that they had to resort to Rachel Maddow-loving, MoveOn-type Democrats. Kind of makes all Republican women seem less flaky than I imagined possible.

Re: "Republican" Women for Obama: Powerline's John Hinderaker Exposes A Dishonest Ad
I was going to say the exact same thing. Perhaps this is just further evidence that the Obama campaign is operating in a bubble. I would think any operation of this size could find one - a single person - in a country of 300 million that would switch from republican to Obama between 2008 and 2012. The fact they could not find such a person demonstrates how insular the campaign has become.

These ladies are fake, Obama's books are fake, most of the Democrats bilge is fake, and transparently so. Why don't they pay the same kind of price the right would pay if guilty of the same deceptions?

Get ready for Romney's multi million dollar stink bomb. The wild and crazy thing is that he doesn't need to lie.

Reminds me of that poor gay guy who ranted at the Chick-fil-A girl. In his video apology to her he explains why he'd told her he wasn't gay. It's not that he's not totally proud of being gay. It's that he wanted to prove that you don't have to be gay to think that Chick-fil-A is full of hate.
Also you don't have to really, actually have been a victim of racism to write a memoir claiming that you were.
Facts aren't the point. The point is that racism is bad. Hate is bad. Republicans are bad.

Lying works...until it doesn't anymore. Maybe this is the year it stops working. We can only hope.
