Obama caught in yet another lie! Now on handguns
Sen. Obama's Handwriting Appears On Questionnaire Supporting Total Handgun Ban
Send to a Friend »

Tonight, Sen. Obama flatly denied his handwriting appeared on a questionnaire where he expressed his support for a total gun ban:

Gibson: But do you still favor the registration of guns? Do still you favor the licensing of guns? And in 1996, you - your campaign issued a questionnaire. And your writing was on the questionnaire that said you favored a ban on handguns.
Obama: No, my writing was not on that particular questionnaire, Charlie. As I've said, I have never favored an all-out ban on hand handguns

That's not the case, you can see his handwriting on the very questionnaire here:

2. Obama has long said that he let an aide fill it out...
his handwriting isn't on the answer section. Nothing new. Nice attempt to spin.

8. BO was a board member of the Joyce Foundation and they offered him their presidency. Joyce funds
the Violence Policy Center and their goal is to ban all handguns.

Would an anti-abortion group select a pro-abortion person as its president? NO

Would an anti-handgun group select a pro-handgun person as its president? NO

BO is using his skills as a political chameleon to distance himself from those who once helped him.

First Wright and now the Joyce Foundation/Violence Policy Center.

If BO is not an outright liar, then he is so close the difference is trivial.

34. Here's a link to a PDF with both questionnaires.
Do you see that his writing does not appear on the one you are talking about?

http://www.politico.com/static/PPM43_080328_obama_iviquestionaire_091096.html

Maybe you might want to try and correct yourself. You've got it all wrong in your OP. Obama answered correctly.

37. Good riddance.
At least anyone who bothers to read down this far will be able to click on the actual documents and see for themselves.

It never ends, does it, knocking this crap down?
