You should have gotten down to #28, which was shown to be absolutely true.

I've never really thought about it, i know my fair share of politicians and pretty much npne of them wear a flagpin in their day to day life if not on camera.

I think its much ado about nothing tbh.

We agree. It just keeps coming up in some of those (what I would classify as) smear campaigns. It just seems a little far-fetched and pathetic to an outsider viewer... like the people coming up with these things against Obama doesn't really have anything on his policies (or at least not the mental capacity to string together a coherent sentence as to why they don't agree with him), so instead they resolve to these almost childish accusations.

Just my honest opinion, for what it's worth.

The thing is with the flag pin issue a lot of folks don't realise that politicians only wear it for the camera, my state's Senator for example, John Cornyn never wears one when he's off camera, and our Governor is the same.

But when folks see Obama doesn't wear it and yet McCain does they see it differently. Its kind of like you don't have to wear a suit in a debate but if you wore a baseball shirt it'd be criticised, sometimes there are double standards with public images tbh.

But like i said the average joe won't know this as they don't spend time with politicians.

Really? After the first 27 lies, you believe number 28? You're a trusting soul.

Absolutely true? More like "Disputed." See the Factcheck presented by Angry American for verification.

Even the link presented by Angry American indicates that there was contact, the dispute is over the content.

The claim was that nobody from the Obama camp contacted the Canadians. This appears to be false, from the link Angry American provided.

Where do you get the info that the Obama camp says nobody contacted the Canadians?

Obama, Canada, NAFTA and Some 'Straight Talk'

I found that the Obama camp says no message was passed.

So, there was contact without content?

Come on.....

No, there was contact with content, but there was a dispute regarding exactly what that content was.

Same source as AA.......This alone is enough to prove to me that he is not fit to be President. He cannot even show respect of the American flag!

please show your primary sources before you make these accusations

also some of these things are simply not thought through very hard, like # 5 for example.
He has two grandmothers!!! Cmon

90% of this is TOTAL BULLSHIT

however I do see legitimate points in a few of them

When lists of lies are posted, even if one or two of them have a bit of truth to them, the overall dishonest smear is so outrageous, nothing can be believed.

I really wouldn't say I'm a supporter of either candidate and have not settled on one but I must say that the tactic of sending out e-mails that most people do not have the time to fact check is getting a little old. I know this has been around long before e-mail in other forms but Obama seems to attract more of this sort of thing than any candidate I know. While some of these things are true or partly true others are things taken out of context or only half truths. Snopes did a descent job of breaking it down.

Snopes does a great job of weeding out the internet lies.

I think the reason they are lying more about Obama than any other candidate is because there's really no facts to "get" him on so they have to resort to smearing him with lies.
