This is from the blog of the left-leaning magazine "The New Repbulic".

All you have to do is look at the pattern. He also denies relationships with Ayers and Rev. Wright but the documentation is out there to prove that Obama is the one who is lying.

Run for cover! It’s gotta be a TNR roadside bomb.

[CPT Clay]

So if it was untrue in the WaPo in July, why speak up in September?

[popdonnelly]

“This is another flat-out lie from a dishonorable campaign that is increasingly incapable of telling the truth.”

What psychologists call “projection”.

[Blind Eye Jones]

The thing that really defines Obama is his LIES! The man is a chronic liar. It's all image and lies. But MSM loves his lies because they are liars too.

[TNCMAXQ]

I’m surprised there aren’t screams of racism and Willie Horton since they are targeting Raines.

NEWS BULLETIN!

Libs admit there is such a thing as Republicans making an honest* mistake.

This is a ground-breaking change in tactics for the liberals. Previously ALL "honest mistakes" were required to be called "blatant lies."

We will have a special one hour analysis of this historic event this evening at 8:00 pm.

Well said ...

Someone did call ‘racism’ already. The ad had two black guys followed by a sad looking white woman.

Automatic racism. Black guys are threat to white women!

If they had shown the white woman first, ‘racism!’ Black men take back seat to whites.

Are these truthful reminiscings the mea culpa of a dimrat who swallowed the “NO, John Edwards does not have a mistress!” line?Just wondering.......

"On July 16, 2008, The Washington Post reported that Franklin Raines had "taken calls from Barack Obama's presidential campaign seeking his advice on mortgage and housing policy matters." [7]. Also, in an editorial in August 27, 2008 titled "Tough Decision Coming", the Washington Post editorial staff claimed that "Two members of Mr. Obama's political circle, James A. Johnson and Franklin D. Raines, are former chief executives of Fannie Mae."

BINGO

There is also a cache Wikipedia Raines bio that states the connection. I will post once I find it from an earlier thread (unless someone beats me to it)

[DJ MacWoW]

You should have included your cached Wikipedia entry for Raines. :-)

"They are lying because we say so. Believe us. They are lying." This doesn't pass third-grade playground muster, much less presidential muster.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

None of McCain's ads have been a lie.

Case in point.

In the immortal words of Pamela Anderson, TNR can suck it!

Sorry, it took me some time to find the post. Here is the cached Wikipedia entry for Raines.

In RAT-Speak, a lie is a fact that damages a DemocRAT.
