TYT: Cindy McCain's Despicable Lie About Mother Teresa

[ihavenobias]

By Cenk Uygur

was so brazen, I couldn't quite believe it myself.

You can read the story for yourself , including the part where the McCain campaign revises their story to admit Cindy McCain never met Mother Teresa on that trip. And has the timeline of when they started to lie about their daughter and Mother Teresa.

You have to confess that if Michelle Obama had lied about adopting a daughter from Mother Teresa or , Obama would have had no chance of winning. Yet Cindy McCain gets a free pass on all this. The double standard applied to the candidate's wives are overwhelming. No logical person can deny the hypocrisy in how these stories are covered.

1. K & R!!!

Cenk is so right about the double standard! Michelle and Barack would be raked over the coals for this!

7. Exactly. I think some DUers are ignoring this issue because they assume the point is to dig up dirt

It's NOT. It's to point out how differently the media handles the respective candidates and their spouses.

Cenk is 1,000% correct, if it had been Michelle telling Mother Theresa lies (and stealing and taking prescription drugs from her own charity) it would be all over the news and it would sink Obama's campaign. As it is no one talks about it, and even here at DU it flies under the radar and people are scared to touch it.

I WANT the idiots who are spouting off (and or believing in) BS about Ayers, Wright and Rezko to hear about these things.

[pleah]

2. They don't even try to hide their hypocrisy any more. So,

it is up to people like us to keep the truth afloat.

10. It's true. They're incredibly open about it

It's truly amazing.

4. These Republicans have NO shame...

I don't even pretend to understand how they can do stuff like this...

:grr:

5. It's the same in every issue, every topic. The Repubs get caught with their

pants down, give a lame-ass excuse, the MSM goes "oh, okay" and we move on.

I blame our Dem machine, partly. It's the Republicans that keep the stories (faux or not) about us alive kicking -- why can't we do the same to them?

HOW long was Reverend Wright in the news?

[ihavenobias]

12. You make an excellent point

Why CAN'T we do the same?

6. K&R n/t

8. K & R........we need to make up pamphlets on these people and hand them out for free to

anyone and everyone that will take them..FORCE them to care about this country...

A vote for Mcbush is a vote of eight more years of the same......we as a nation can not afford the repubs to continue its' reign of terroristic activities inside our very borders.

[Disturbed]

9. This deception is about both McLame & his wife.

They are both liars & frauds.

11. she meant to say she once knew a woman named Teresa who was a mother

But Cindy was so fucked up on goof balls that she got confused!

Don't you know she was almost a POW?! Sort of, by extension ....

13. Ha, ha
