Lowell Ponte’s repeated misleading claims about Barack Obama’s relationship with ACORN apparently aren’t taking hold, so he’s using his Oct. 29 Newsmax column to resort to that old standby, the personal smear:
Barack Obama’s ideology of “redistribution of the wealth” can be called socialism, Marxism, fascism or welfare-state liberalism. But whatever label you give it, add the words irrational and sinful.
Mr. Obama describes himself as a Christian, but what he advocates violates at least two of the Bible’s 10 Commandments — the ones covering stealing, and coveting anything belonging to your neighbor.
Ponte is, of course, still spreading lies about Obama, this time claiming that “Mr. Obama has vowed not to renew President George W. Bush’s tax cuts set to expire in 2010. This would impose a $2 trillion tax increase that will batter American families earning as little as $42,000 per year.” In fact, Obama has repeatedly said he would repeal the Bush tax cuts only for “the wealthiest Americans.”
