Overreaching

When the Rev. Walter Leake at a GOP rally in Greenville prayed that God would silence the speech of Democrats who lie about McCain/Palin (news item, Oct. 9), he should have checked his facts first. According to a report in the same issue, PolitiFact.com (dis)credits the McCain/-Palin campaign with six lying ads to Obama's one.

I agree with the Rev. Leake that the lies should stop. The McCain/Palin slime campaign, directed by Bush operatives, is lying to create fear about Barack Obama because the McCain/Palin team has no substantive positions on which to campaign.

I can't go as far as Leake, though, and issue a vituperative and ignorant curse. He shouldn't either.
