National Republican Trust PAC runs a "bunk-filled ad"

Tweet

"An upstart group calling itself the "National Republican Trust PAC" mixes a pile of false claims and the image of 9/11 mastermind Mohammed Atta to create one of the sleaziest false TV ads of the campaign. The spot falsely claims Obama has a "plan" to issue driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. In fact, Obama has said quite specifically, "I am not proposing that that's what we do." The ad implies such licenses would enable terrorist attacks. In fact, Atta wouldn't have needed one to carry out his attacks. It claims that Obama's health care plan will apply to illegal immigrants. But Obama has stated quite clearly that his plan "does not" cover illegal immigrants. The ad falsely claims that Obama's plan "gives illegals Social Security benefits," which is also flatly untrue." -- http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/a_license_to_kill.html
