I haven't decided if they are telling out and out LIES....or if they're just really as ignorant as they are when they mis-speak.

New Factcheck Article:
AFL-CIO Democratic Forum
August 8, 2007
"The president of Canada" and other factual bobbles.
Summary
Seven Democratic presidential candidates appeared Aug. 7 in a nationally televised forum at Chicago's Soldier Field, sponsored by the AFL-CIO. Once again, we found some claims that were wrong and others that were questionable.
Sen. Joseph Biden said none of the others "has a better labor record than me." Actually, they all have better AFL-CIO "lifetime" ratings than Biden.
Sen. Barack Obama attempted to revise his own earlier remarks about invading Pakistan, claiming: "What I said was that we have to work with" Pakistan's president. But the record shows Obama didn't actually say that.
Obama also said he would call "the president of Canada" about trade matters. Actually, that nation doesn't have a president.
Sen. John Edwards said the North American Free Trade Agreement "has cost us a million jobs."
That million-job estimate is disputed.
Analysis
The event was moderated by MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and televised live on that national cable channel. The candidates who appeared were Sens. Joseph Biden of Delaware, Hillary Clinton of New York, Christopher Dodd of Connecticut and Barack Obama of Illinois; former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina; Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio; and Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico.
==========================
Speaking of MSNBC's keith obermann.....the drudge report and others have noted that his ratings were at their LOWEST point. Think maybe viewers have finally 'got' his number and don't WANT to watch him anymore.

AFL-CIO Forum Ratings: Lowest Yet
The AFL-CIO Democratic forum last night on MSNBC, was the lowest rated-yet of the eight primary debates/forums held this election season. Based on live +same day data, Nielsen found the debate had 960,000 total viewers and 340,000 viewers in the 25-54 demo.
"While the democratic party complains about everything THIS President does to protect our Nation": "What would a Democrat president have done at that point?"
"Apparently, the answer is: Sit back and wait for the next terrorist attack."
