Lying lies by Republican lying liars.... What else is new?

TPM Election Central | Talking Points Memo | New McCain Ad Badly Distorts Obama's Words About Iran

The lying and cheating McCain camp has come up with a wholly distorted ad suggesting that Obama thinks Iran doesn't pose a serious threat. It's a gigantic pack of lies, designed to fool the uninformed voter, and it will work unless it is countered.



But here's what Obama really said:

"Strong countries and strong Presidents talk to their adversaries. That's what Kennedy did with Khrushchev. That's what Reagan did with Gorbachev. That's what Nixon did with Mao. I mean think about it. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela -- these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying we're going to wipe you off the planet."

Absolutely despicable politics. Gutter smears at their worst. I am sure the Harper-cons are taking notes and are ready to take many of Dion's remarks and slant them just the same.
