Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama launched a new website Thursday devoted to dousing "smears" against the first African-American with a serious shot at the presidency.

The site at www.fightthesmears.com debunks false rumors doing the rounds of the Internet and right-wing media outlets -- including one recent assertion that Obama's wife Michelle has been caught on tape slurring white people.

Obama's main campaign website already had a fact-check section to refute rumors such as the Christian candidate is a secret Muslim. But aides said the new site went further in inviting supporters to spread the word

  • HA!! This is awesome.

    Wouldn't it be cool if McCain did the same thing?

    Oh... no, I guess not... he'd have to use video of himself, would be ah, counterproductive. Hm..?

  • This is great but has anyone ever introduced him to hackers? It'll make it that much easier to "spread the word" of lies on his own site. For his sake i hope he has some kind of computer junkie overlooking the progress of his site.
