Never mind Moose-lini and the Bridge to Nowhere. This, from Frank Rich's latest column, is really discouraging:
If you doubt that the big lies are sticking, look at the latest Washington Post/ABC News poll. Half of voters now believe in the daily McCain refrain that Obama will raise their taxes. In fact, Obama proposes raising taxes only on the 1.9 percent of households that make more than $250,000 a year and cutting them for nearly everyone else.
You probably don't need me to tell you this, but Rich's column is well worth reading in its entirety. Please email it to your friends, too.
[Added] And then there's this, from Nicholas Kristof's latest, "The Push to 'Otherize' Obama:"
Here’s a sad monument to the sleaziness of this presidential campaign: Almost one-third of voters “know” that Barack Obama is a Muslim or believe that he could be.
In short, the political campaign to transform Mr. Obama into a Muslim is succeeding. The real loser as that happens isn’t just Mr. Obama, but our entire political process.
A Pew Research Center survey released a few days ago found that only half of Americans correctly know that Mr. Obama is a Christian. Meanwhile, 13 percent of registered voters say that he is a Muslim, compared with 12 percent in June and 10 percent in March.
More ominously, a rising share — now 16 percent — say they aren’t sure about his religion because they’ve heard “different things” about it.
To belabor a point: Also worth reading and passing along
[Added] If you've made it this far, you deserve a little reward. Looks like Aaron Sorkin wrote MoDo's column for today.
