Obama Surrogate Wexler lies about Palin

COngressman Wexler, who couldn't be bothered to live in the district he represented, today took up the cause of lying for Barack Obama.

As reported in the story "Democratic Rep.: Palin pick is 'direct affront to all Jewish Americans'":

"John McCain's decision to select a vice presidential running mate that endorsed Pat Buchanan for president in 2000 is a direct affront to all Jewish Americans," said a statement by Wexler.

"Pat Buchanan is a Nazi sympathizer with a uniquely atrocious record on Israel, even going as far as to denounce bringing former Nazi soldiers to justice and praising Adolf Hitler for his 'great courage'".

Wexler went on to accuse McCain of having "failed his first test of leadership."

On a day when Joe Biden told Israel they would just have to live with Iran having the bomb, Wexler of course had to do SOMETHING to not drive away MORE Jewish voters.

But the problem is, Sarah Palin did not endorse Pat Buchanon in 2000. In fact, she was supporting another candidate. No, not John McCain. And not George Bush. Palin in fact was a Steve Forbes worker:

From the Associate Press State & Local Wire, August 7th, 1999:

"State Sen. Mike Miller of Fairbanks will head the Alaska campaign chairman for Republican presidential candidate Steve Forbes, campaign officials said.Joining the Fairbanks Republican on the leadership committee will be Wasilla Mayor Sarah Palin, and former state GOP chairman Pete Hallgren, who will serve as co-chairs."

Of course, we don't expect the truth to be a concern to elected democratic party leaders who are supporting Barack Obama. The Obama supporters have been spreading a vicious attack on Palin's daughter and newborn son, without Obama raising any objections, strange given how vehemently he whined about people dragging his wife into the campaign (I think we can all agree that wives are of some interest, but children not at all).
