Dear Reader,

You've probably noticed that the current presidential campaign has
become as wretched as any in our memory. Some campaign advertisements
are so unfair, there is little precedent in our country's long history
of dirty tricks and sleazy politics. Don't just take our word for it.
Josh Marshall, the highly respected editor of "Talking Points Memo,"
with readers from virtually every corner of the political spectrum,
had this to say:

"All politicians stretch the truth, massage it into the best fit with
their message. But, let's face it, John McCain is running a campaign
almost entirely based on straight up lies. Not just exaggerations or
half truths but the sort of straight up, up-is-down mind-blowers we've
become so accustomed to from the current occupants of the White House.
And today McCain comes out with this rancid, race-baiting ad based on
another lie. Willie Horton looks mild by comparison."
Josh Marshall is not known for hyperbole... The McCain ad he's talking
about states that Obama favors sex education for kindergartners.
Ridiculous lies.
