McCain lie about Obama's "tiny" is huge

By GottaLaff

John Sidney McCain has a new ad called "Tiny". You know what's tiny? Hint: John Sidney McCain wishes his wasn't:

We in the media have given a lot of airtime to the TV ads of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., this week, starring as they do Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY.

There's been evidence emerging that McCain's campaign isn't really running these ads anywhere, according to the Campaign Media Analysis Group.

I posted that here, should you want the whole story.

OK, so that's kind of dishonest of the McCain campaign.

Yeah, yeah, what else is new? Oh, this is:

Today's new McCain ad -- "Tiny" [...] -- crosses a new line into dishonesty, however, beyond whether or not it's actually airing anywhere.

Here's the ad:

Relevant text:

"Obama says Iran is a 'tiny' country, 'doesn't pose a serious threat,'" the ad continues. "Terrorism, destroying Israel, those aren't 'serious threats'? Obama -- dangerously unprepared to be president."

Guess what?

This is a dishonest representation of Obama's words.

Now here is what Obama really said:

Relevant text:

On May 18, on Pendelton, Oregon, Obama said that "strong countries and strong Presidents talk to their adversaries. That's what Kennedy did with Khrushchev. That's what Reagan did with Gorbachev. That's what Nixon did with Mao. I mean think about it. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela -- these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying, 'We're going to wipe you off the planet.'

Hmmm, J Sid didn't exactly give us an accurate representation, now did he?

That is not even close to Obama saying Iran is a "tiny" country that "doesn't pose a serious threat."

Not even close.

Not even remotely. J Sid is an insecure, desperate liar: tiny in stature, tiny in moral standing, tiny in credibility, tiny where it really counts.

He may have been a bigger-than-life war hero at one time, but these days, he suffers from significant shrinkage.
