Why is the Obama Web site called "fight the smears"?

Question

"Fight the truth" would be a more accurate name.

Answer 1

Amen.  He is trying to use a n**i gimmick:  tell the same lies over enough times and they eventually become the truth.

Answer 2

I'm not one hundred percent sure, but it would seem to me that they are talking about fighting the smear campaigns that happen with every election.  Is part of the cite about debunking rumors?

Answer 3

Look at your bio in your profile Sarah W you racist.

Answer 4

The right wing propaganda machine churns out more trash each day than a large city, hours of right wing radio nonsense is aimed at listeners across the country on a daily basis. Even sites like these are biased to the right as proven by the process of question and answer removal, so the left wing candidate's must have some venue to set the record straight and offer proof of this right wing conspiracy. What they choose to call it is relevant to the points they make. It is much better to spend time rebuking right wing claims than to join them in creating this type of negativity towards the right. You notice I use the term "right" and "left" here as they are a minority of extremists on the fringe of their party lines. True Republicans and Democrats including Independents sit closer to the middle and are the majority of those who ultimately control the vote and truly make change.

Answer 5

Because it makes and validates the assumption that what is said against him is a smear, thus a lie and  thusly not to be believed.

Answer 6

Sarah W. is a moral coward and intellectual weakling who blocks anyone who disagrees with her.

Just watch this question. The "Best answer" will go to some sock puppet who repeats her point and says "You're absolutely right" in the bargain.

This is not why Yahoo Answers was created.

Answer 7

It is inevitable, given the way the GOP emailers have tried to sabotage his image with flat out lies. You guys are reaping what you sew, no more no less.

Answer 8

Keep up the rhetoric. You are actually helping the cause of Obama with your constant mindless attacks. The undecided voters are getting sick of the pointless attacks.

Then you would know what a drag it is to see you."
