Video: Obama Bashes McCain with a Bogus Story

[Presbyterian Reporter]

After an investigation, the Secret Service announced that the allegation that someone yelled “Kill him” when Barack Obama’s name was mentioned at a Sarah Palin rally is completely unfounded.

And Barack Obama owes John McCain an apology for using this false story to beat up McCain and Sarah Palin in last night’s debate. He even says that Palin “didn’t mention, didn’t stop, didn’t say hold on a second.”

She didn’t stop or say anything about it because it didn’t happen. And she wasn’t even on stage at the time of this nonexistent event.

Click to watch the excerpt from last nights video. Pass this story to your friends. They are not going to read about this falsely planted story in their newspapers.

McCain started to mention things heard and seen at Barry's rallies and started to describe Tee shirts - I think he was starting to refer to the green shirts with disparaging comments about Gov Palin - then he backed off.

Odd that there would be outrage, considering that the entire lefty blogosphere was yelling "KILL HIM" about Trig Palin just a few weeks back.

Let's see what civil discourse is in the works for Joe The Plumber.

You keep forgetting democrats have any concern over facts. They said it, got the press needed and moved on.

Boy BHO, sucks when the other side can ‘get in their face’ too, don’t it

“Let’s see what civil discourse is in the works for Joe The Plumber.”

Being imaginary won’t protect Joe.

This is like Clinton talking about the church burnings while he was Governor of Arkansas.

The campaign should demand retractions. It was reckless to report this as fact without any corroboration from law enforcement.

Sarah should also deputize the crowds to “detain” (gently and politely) anyone heard threatening violence against O.

Just doing her best to protect Senator Government.

I’m shocked 0bama lied.

Boy BHO, sucks when the other side can 'get in their face' too, don't it.

This a non issue, but the ol' double standard is just too much.

Someone said something about Obama and LIES???

THE List of Obama’s Lies (only those that can be substantiated, please)

1 - Said 100% of McCain’s ads have been negative - TRUTH: 1342 Obama negative ads vs 8 by McCain (study by Univ of Wisconsin) (who’s running a negative campaign MSM?)
2 - Obama never supported denying health care to babies that survived abortions - voted against the Born Alive Protection Act.
3 - He’s going to lower taxes for 95% of working Americans. (40% of Americans pay NO taxes.)
4 - Obama denies starting his political career in Bill Ayers home
5 - Said he wanted abortions to decrease (he wants all restrictions on abortion cancelled with the “Freedom of Choice Act”).
6 - Said we hadn’t followed through on the special needs funding.....IN OREGON, they get $6000 per MONTH for each special needs child....a MONTH!!!!
7 - Said there is a “right to privacy” in the Constitution.
8 - Says we will be “independent of foreign oil in 10 years” and that it will come from not yet invented technology.....riiiiight.
9 – His long career…..NONE of his sponsored Bills have EVER made it into law.
10- Obama gave Money to ACORN – $800,000+
11 – That someone yelled “Kill Him” referring to Obama at a Republican Rally – it’s been investigated, and there is ZERO evidence that it happened.

Those who are now outraged by this “non event” were the same people who giggled when Alec Baldwin publicly called for the stoning of Henry Hyde and his family in 1998. No one in the press has the memory of a tetse fly.

The story must've come from 'Fake but Accurate' cBS.

I wonder why there are so many stall points in some videos. Who has the time? This one is impossible.
