You didn’t see a single one of these stupid, ugly rumors promoted by LGF, and we’re proud of that. Shame on the right-wing bloggers who let their fears convince them to throw their credibility away (you know who they are). This stuff has been very damaging to the McCain campaign, and has probably contributed to Barack Obama’s ability to skate on the real issue of his long history of associations with some of the most radical extremists in America: Cover this! Inside the nastiest ’08 rumors.

They missed one, though: the “Bill Ayers was the ghostwriter for Barack Obama’s books” rumor.

And what about the absolutely insane garbage about Sarah Palin, promoted by idiots like Andrew Sullivan? Sullivan spent weeks demanding that Palin submit to DNA testing to prove she, and not her daughter, was the mother of Trig Palin. That doesn’t count?
