Truth or Smear?

Here is an article considering the "smears" against Obama, and the claims by Obama's website to answer them. What is interesting is to note how the presumed-smears are answered -- As you look ask yourself, are they answered with concrete facts or prevarications and red herrings (*)? But note, as one argument falls or is exposed, it gets taken down off the Obama website and another gets put in its place. So unfortunately the information on it will always be changing. For now you can take a look at the logic or logic fallacy of the answers.


* If you are not familiar with the expression, "red herring," keep your eye out for a future post that outlines logic fallacies and false-reasoning or avoidance.
