Sarah Palin's claim that the "extreme position" on abortion Sen. Barack Obama took in the Illinois state Senate included "not even supporting a measure that would during a -- after a botched abortion and that baby's born alive -- allowing medical care to cease and allowing that baby to die." But Obama and other opponents said that the legislation to which Palin referred posed a threat to abortion rights and was unnecessary because Illinois law already prohibited the conduct being addressed by the bill. http://mediamatters.org/items/200810010016 Wed, 1 Oct 2008 16:55:42 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200809170020 On her syndicated Christian radio talk show, Jan Markell hosted "former Muslim" Nonie Darwish, who claimed that "whether he believes in Islam or not," Sen. Barack Obama is a "political Muslim" who, as a child, was "immersed in a culture that was anti-American." She also stated that "Obama was influenced by" Islam, which she called "a very political" and "not a true religion." http://mediamatters.org/items/200809170020 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 17:36:46 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200808070007 On Hugh Hewitt's show, the <em>Politico</em>'s Mike Allen said that "Senator [John] McCain had a good week last week" and stated it may be because of the McCain campaign's "Celebrity" ad, which "suggested [Sen. Barack] Obama is going to raise taxes." Allen did not note that the claim is false. In fact, Obama has proposed cutting taxes for low- and middle-income families, and McCain's own chief economic adviser has reportedly said it is inaccurate to say that "Barack Obama raises taxes." http://mediamatters.org/items/200808070007 Thu, 7 Aug 2008 16:51:52 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200807030008 On <em>This Week</em>, Hugh Hewitt claimed that a comment he made during the June 25 edition of his show -- that the September 13 Ohio State-USC football game will "probably [be] the last football game we'll ever get to see before the United States gets blown up by the Islamists under Obama" -- was distorted by Arianna Huffington. http://mediamatters.org/items/200807030008 Thu, 3 Jul 2008 18:13:00 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804010008 Nationally syndicated radio talk-show host Hugh Hewitt falsely asserted that Sen. Barack Obama had "gotten a question or into a debate about abortion rights for minors" when he said of his two daughters: "<strong><strong>[I]f they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby. </strong></strong>I don't want them punished with an STD at the age of 16.<strong><strong>" In fact, Obama was responding to a question about "</strong></strong>the issue of HIV and AIDS and also sexually transmitted diseases with young girls." http://mediamatters.org/items/200804010008 Tue, 1 Apr 2008 19:21:10 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200607260002 In recent days, some members of the conservative media have seen signs of the Apocalypse in the escalated conflicts in the Middle East and Asia. Pat Robertson has considered the possibility but has seemed to reject it, while columnist Hal Lindsey has simply asserted: "Now Armageddon looms large before us." But as recent reports on CNN and in <em>USA Today</em> attest, conservatives are not the only media figures to raise the question of whether current events are a sign of the "End Times." http://mediamatters.org/items/200607260002 Tue, 25 Jul 2006 20:58:47 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200607140016 While a guest on Janet Parshall's syndicated radio show, Thomas E. Woods Jr. -- a founding member of the neo-Confederate League of the South, classified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a "hate group" -- misleadingly cited Thomas Jefferson's advocacy of castrating men caught engaging in "acts against nature." He also endorsed an online college espousing the views of the right-wing John Birch Society as an appropriate educational tool for those who want to avoid schools that are "brainwashing" children. http://mediamatters.org/items/200607140016 Fri, 14 Jul 2006 19:02:12 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200606080011 On his radio program, Bill Bennett referred to CNN chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour as "Aman-bleakness" and accused her of trying to "get some bad news" out of the killing of Al Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
