McCain implies that Obama doesn't think Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a terrorist organization. That's wrong. Before the Kyl-Lieberman amendment was introduced, Obama cosponsored a bill that called for the IRGC to be designated as "a Foreign Terrorist Operation." Full Story »

This is how a fact check article should be written. Forget Pinocchio's nose or the 'pants-on-fire' gimmickry. This is a lengthy analysis of the facts and a detailed assessment of who is fudging and how. When hearing reports of McCain's speech to AIPAC, I thought he had actually pinned Obama by highlighting the Democrat's unwillingness to designate Iran's revolutionary guard as a terrorist organization. Not so at all! Obama had co-sponsored earlier legislation that specifically would have designated the revolutionary guard as a terrorist organization as well as spurred dis-investment in Iran. I find it disturbing that, as this article points out, McCain's website is now pushing this line. That's disinformation and propaganda not straight talk!
