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/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
