CNN again aired McCain's false suggestion that Obama opposed designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist group

SUMMARY: On This Week in Politics, Tom Foreman aired without challenging Sen. John McCain's false suggestion that Sen. Barack Obama opposed designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRG) a terrorist organization. Foreman did not note that Obama co-sponsored a bill in 2007 that would have designated the IRG a terrorist organization, nor did he note that Obama said he opposed the bill McCain referenced because it "state[d] that our military presence in Iraq should be used to counter Iran."
