MORE MCCAIN LIES.

Apparently undeterred by news reports (from the AP no less!) pointing out a consistent pattern of mendacity from his campaign, John McCain went on The View today and proclaimed that Sarah Palin has never requested any earmarks. This is completely false. In fact, Palin requested $197 million in earmarks this year and $256 million last year.

John McCain simply has no trouble lying to people's faces about his record or his opponent's record. None at all. McCain is comfortable lying blatantly to the American people. This is not what most people are looking for after eight years of George W. Bush. The ease with which this man engages in deceit is downright disturbing.

--A. Serwer



COMMENTS

Many in the media at large seems afraid to go after McCain's veracity, but Dan Larison makes a convincing claim that the conservative media has no interest in doing so at all

It can't be a lie if you are a POW! POW! POW! POW! , surrounded by sexist lipsticking pigs!
