What's wrong with Obama's FightTheSmears.com

Obama's new site tries to fight ugly rumors by getting people to e-mail the truth to their friends. The strategy could backfire.

    Fight The Smears strategy

    How do we fight these rumors? I am glad to see at the very least Obama is taking some action. I doubt very highly he will be invited to speak before any Republican gatherings. And I also doubt Limbaugh or Hannity or Malkin will allow any truth telling to occur on their programs or sites.

    We need to have something to show the disbelievers and perhaps the format may need tweaking, but we need a site to send people so these ugly rumors can be rebutted.
