McCain's Campaign Lying Yet Again! Press Catches Them At It

The McCain camp just can't stop lying. They held a coference call today to complain about being called "liars" in the press and then they compounded it by repeatedly lying during the Q&A session with the press. Luckily the press was doing their job and caught the falsehoods. The effect was that the call reinforced the image of McCain as unable to campaign on the facts.

Here's what Ben Smith of Politico.com had to say:

Senator John McCain’s top aides convened a conference call today to complain of being called “liars.” They pressed the media to scrutinize specific elements of Senator Barack Obama’s record.

But the call was so rife with simple, often inexplicable misstatements of fact that it may have had the opposite effect: Deepening the perception, dangerous to McCain, that he and his aides have little regard for factual accuracy.
