I am disturbed by the traction the redistribute lie is getting
I was talking with an independent, who leans liberal, who actually thinks that Obama said he wants to redistribute the wealth. I really think all of DU needs to make a major push to dispell the vile lies of dirtbag McCain and is equally lying and dishonorable Sarah Palin and all their scumbaggy hench people.

2. I said the same thing earlier today.....
Obama need to overload the airwaves with the "Tax Calculator" ad and really address it tonight.

The Tax Calculator ad is a nice ad.

4. Hasn't it generally been hinted at that the focus will be on economic issues, including taxes?
I imagine they took this "redistribution" crap into account when they put the commercial together.

3. A big part of the problem is that the MSM
constantly shows clips of McCain/Palin speeches (and often the entire speeches) but rarely is there any mention of Obama's response.

Actually, it is MCCAIN who wants to redistribute the wealth - by shifting even MORE of the overall tax burden onto the middle class!

5. I agree
It ticks me off that the media will let McCain or his surrogates spout off their lies without challenging them with the facts!
