[–]DoremusJessup 0 points1 point ago

The problem here is the visual of the Klan poster. There is nothing wrong with the front page story but by making the largest visual the poster it leaves the impression that this is an event local residents should consider attending.

This seems like a no-brainer but past studies were not able to find a direct correlation between money and policy decisions. So they have finally proven the adage: Money corrupts; and absolute money corrupts absolutely.

Yet American Future Fund has an ad running in key battleground states that says President Obama is Wall Street's candidate. Just because you repeat a lie again and again doesn't make it true
