Wash. Post's Weisman, Shear repeated GOP's false claim about Obama and Israel without providing context showing it was false

May 14, 2008 5:53 pm ET

SUMMARY: The Washington Post's Jonathan Weisman and Michael D. Shear wrote that "Republican surrogates" trying to portray Sen. Barack Obama as "anti-Israel ... pluck[ed] one sentence out of an extended interview with the Atlantic Monthly to accuse him of calling Israel 'a constant sore' that infects U.S. foreign policy." However, Weisman and Shear did not provide the context of Obama's "constant sore" remark to show that the GOP's attack is false.
