FactCheck.Org Catches Obama Ad Using Dishonest Images

Stop the ACLU points to a report from FactCheck.org on Obama's ad on McCain's "low road campaign". The ad features McCain walking with a serious looking group of men that the voiceover announcer calls "lobbyists".
According to FactCheck:
...none of the folks pictured are actually lobbyists. Not even former lobbyists. And two of them are Secret Service guys.


Imagine the horror! John McCain is hanging out with the men actually assigned to protect his life! How nefarious can he be?

When we asked the Obama camp about its use of an image lacking any actual lobbyists, former or otherwise, spokesman Tommy Vietor told us, "I think everyone knows which lobbyists are running his campaign."

If so, everyone should also know they're not pictured in this ad.


This is change you can believe in! If the facts don't fit the narrative, Obama will change the facts to fit! Or at least the images...
