From the DNC:
The Democratic National Committee today launched a new online counter and web page that chronicles John McCain’s lies and distortions on the campaign trail. Called “Count the Lies,” the site and counter lists the articles from independent, non-partisan fact checkers who have debunked the false and misleading claims and smears that have dominated McCain’s campaign.
When John McCain wrapped up his party’s nomination in February, he promised the voters he would run a respectful campaign. In the weeks since, McCain and his surrogates have unleashed a staggering barrage of lies and distortions that have resulted in the publication of at least 51 fact checks from independent, nonpartisan organizations. In the 50 days left until Election Day, the DNC will update the counter with each new fact check debunking a McCain campaign lie.
“John McCain’s decision to run one of the most dishonest and dishonorable presidential campaigns in history is one more reason to reject his promise of more of the same failed policies and broken politics,” said DNC spokesman Damien LaVera. “John McCain has kept his promise to run a new kind of campaign, but unfortunately that has meant going to new lows. Why should the voters trust John McCain with our country’s future when he doesn’t respect them enough to honestly defend his flawed and out of touch agenda?”
The DNC’s Count the Lies webpage is a feature of McCainPedia, an online research tool launched earlier this year to help empower voters and volunteers across the country with the research and information they need to see John McCain’s real record.
