Monday, September 22, 2008Obama-Biden Campaign Rolls Out Pennsylvania Truth Squad
Collection of leaders from around the state will give the facts in the face of McCain’s liesToday the Obama-Biden campaign is putting the McCain campaign on notice by rolling out the Pennsylvania Truth Squad — a group of 19 elected and community leaders from around the state who will be proactive in letting Pennsylvanians know the truth in the face of the distortions by the McCain campaign.
In Philadelphia, Gov. Ed Rendell, Mayor Michael Nutter and other members of the Truth Squad will kick off their efforts today with a press conference on Independence Mall.
In Harrisburg, AFL-CIO President Bill George, SEIU Executive Director Eileen Connolly and Secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection Kate McGinty will hold a press conference on the steps of the Capitol building.
The mission of the Truth Squad will be to respond quickly, forcefully, and aggressively when John McCain or his allies launch inaccurate claims about Barack Obama, or when they distort John McCain’s record or plans.
Judging by how much the McCain campaign has lied and distorted over the past 2 months, the Truth Squad is expecting to be deployed regularly over these final 6 weeks. The full list of “Pennsylvania Truth Squad” members will be released today.

Obamas bully boys do not impress me.
“Truth Squad”?
Wouldn’t it make more sense to call them the “Spin Team”?
Fixed it for ya.
Do they get special hats and badges?
dang it I would have driven over to harrisburg and done some shouting about REAL TRUTH, small wonder they did this quickie for cameras only CHICKENS!!
I sure wish someone would look into all the voter fraud in philly. fast eddie been a very busy man…
Hey, Truth Squad: how about getting to the bottom of Obama’s associations with a leader of the anarchic Weathermen and a racist church leader?
…associations with vote fraudsters…
…associations with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac…
…and so on…
Yeah, BO values the truth
Commentary on BO’s site change after Biden added
Obama’s truth squad will implement his version of the truth.
Obama: The truth is, I’m a liar but thats ok because this is politics and you are allowed to lie, cheat, and steal in politics and thats the truth!
Oh, and John Edwards did have a love child even if he lies about it. Lie after lie after lie after lie!
It just doesn’t sound right, the word “truth” used in the same sentence as “Obama”.
Obama is a thug. He makes me want to vomit.
I hope one of Obama’s thugs are “in your face” when you do.
RACE CARDS from the TARDS!
Here again, if you have to have websites to show your patriotism, and ‘truth squads’ to back your positions, you are most likely the one doing the lying and have the most to hide.
Also, don’t they have terms like ‘death squads’ in places like Colombia? A litle too closely named for this ol’ boy.
It’s nice to see the Democrats excerting energy on defending themselves.
Keep ‘em busy!
Fixed that one for you.
One-liners:
-Joe Biden is going to start his own version of the “truth” squad. It’s going to be called the “Plagiarism Platoon.”
-Obama names two co-chairs to his “Truth” Squad: Scott Thomas Beauchamp and Jayson Blair
-Anytime a lib uses the word “truth,” you can bet that everything that follows is anything BUT the truth.
All these squads and grassroots in your face efforts has got me really wondering if the Obama Presidency is also going to send squads of “do gooders” into my home to try and take away my freedoms or otherwise oppress me. I’m voting McCain of course.
Sprechen sie bitte langsam. (I don’t read it so fast either!
the obamination youth will be armed in more ways than one…
Here’s a great idea. We could have the Obama Truth Squad investigate Mr. Winner! Let’s see what they learn!
“You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth!”
Looks like they are perfectly suited for this job. After all, what better people than these to sit around on their butts with a fancy title yet have absolutely nothing to do.
They have already been proven to be over-qualified with excessive amounts of experience for this position.
One of them is even dortunate enough to have his last name describe the lot of them, for they truly are Nutters
“Barack Obama isn’t as acquainted with the truth as his supporters think he is.”
“Obama has a serious truth deficiency.”
See zorro? The two words can peacefully coexist in the same sentence.
