John McCain's Crew Will Lie About Anything

In the last two weeks we have seen the serial dishonesty of Sarah Palin and John McCain as they have spouted lie after lie about Palin's political history. Even when confronted with clear evidence, sometime with video tape of Palin's own words and actions, they continued to lie.

And now we see more evidence of the dishonesty of John McCain and his followers.

Senator John McCain has drawn some of the biggest crowds of his presidential campaign since adding Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to his ticket on Aug. 29. Now officials say they can't substantiate the figures McCain's aides are claiming.

McCain aide Kimmie Lipscomb told reporters on Sept. 10 that an outdoor rally in Fairfax City, Virginia, drew 23,000 people, attributing the crowd estimate to a fire marshal.

Fairfax City Fire Marshal Andrew Wilson said his office did not supply that number to the campaign and could not confirm it. Wilson, in an interview, said the fire department does not monitor attendance at outdoor events.

...

The McCain campaign said 10,000 people showed up at the Consol Energy Arena in Washington, Pennsylvania, home of the Washington Wild Things baseball team.

The campaign attributed that estimate, and several that followed, to U.S. Secret Service figures, based on the number of people who passed through magnetometers.

``We didn't provide any numbers to the campaign,'' said Malcolm Wiley, a spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service.


I guess John McCain subscribes the the belief that if you "Tell a lie often enough, loud enough, and long enough and people will believe you." It has been the foundation to more than one government, but I hope we are a little better than that.

Can you blame them? It worked for the last 8 years and the media never seemed to question it. If politicians are going to stop telling the same lie over and over again, even after it has been shown to be a lie, the media is going to have to take them to task on it, something that they are afraid to do because their lively hood depends on having access. For every reporter who is willing to call a politician on his or her blatant lies, there are 10 more who are willing to let it slide.
