A Primer of Right Wing Smears Against Obama (most from WorldNut Daily)
From the Huffington Post.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/terry-krepel/right-wing-media-desperat_b_139259.html

It's crunch time, and right-wing media writers are in a frenzy.

They held their collective nose and got behind John McCain, especially after McCain named right-wing diva Sarah Palin as his vice presidential nominee. But tepid, hold-your-nose support for McCain, countered by blindly loyal support for Palin, hasn't been enough.

They have also been concurrently mounting ever-more-shrill attacks on Barack Obama. That's not enough, either -- Obama remains solidly ahead in national polls.

So they must resort to the only tool it has left: Disregard the facts -- and even good taste -- to smear Obama no matter what. Indeed, it almost seems like a competition among the top right-wing writers to see who can go the farthest.

So, let's take a look at the contestants:

-LOTS AND LOTS SNIPPED; READ AT LINK-

Doggedly desperate: Aaron Klein

Lame desperate: Ronald Kessler

Facts-be-damned desperate: Jerome Corsi

Creatively desperate: Jack Cashill

Pervertedly desperate: Cliff Kincaid
