The author seems to believe that lying about the history of your family's involvement in the civil rights movement is ok... I find this Absurd. The man has repeatedly made up stories about how he or his family was involved in civil right movements that they were not. His father had nothing to do with Kennedy, He was not born because of a bloody sunday meeting between his mother and father, because he was born 6 years before this event happened, the man is a compulsive liar, lying about his family and his own actions in the civil rights movment to make himself seem more African Amerian, and less African Immigrant... I am fully aware that he is technically African American, but his life story fits into the category of African immigrant to America more than a true African American who lived through what African Americans lived through. Also its interesting that she Lambasts McCain for claims that Iran is arming militants, but ignores the fact that Obama was too out of it to even know that Al Queda was already in Iraq, claiming he would 'come back' if he found out they were there. So yes Obama and McCain are the same type of liar, pretending otherwise is simply bias... and Hillary as far as I can tell every word out of her mouth is a lie. So yes, it is fair to say they are all liars and equally as bad. All lied about finances- Obama lied about Rezko being a favor to a church, and lied claiming he didn't accept money from special interest, Hillary lied about certain donations... McCain- technically innocent but still... Keating anybody? Liars, Liars, all of them.
