Here's something to keep in mind as you slog through the final days of this campaign season, unable to watch more than five minutes of TV without being bombarded with ominous-sounding attack ads:
Some of them are outright lies. Others are based on half-truths; and, where I was raised, a half-truth is at least half-lie, and lies are bad.
Case in point: a $2 million ad buy in Ohio by the Republican State Leadership Committee, a PAC that exists to elect down-ticket Republicans so that the GOP can keep a vise grip on state government, as it does in Ohio.
The group's attack ad on the Democratic candidates for Ohio Supreme Court was so outrageous that the Ohio State Bar Association — a non-partisan professional organization — has condemned the ad and asked the RSLC to take down.
Be aware, the RSLC is not the only entity singled out by the bar association for deceptive advertising in this campaign cycle - it was only the first.

We've always seen political half truths, bad enough, the number of outlandish outright lies is amazing. Even more, how many people actually believe them. Very sad.

To see outlandish lies all one has to do is turn on your TV or computer. Especially to NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, Microsoft News, and Google Headlines to point out a few.
