ExposeObama.com

ExposeObama.com is an anti-Barack Obama website created by veteran Republican Party activist Floyd Brown and his National Campaign Fund. The website purports to show that the presumptive Democratic nominee has inconsistent positions regarding abortion, taxes and other issues, in addition to being soft on crime and Islamofascism. [http://exposeobama.com/aboutus.html Quote: "Obama is not the candidate of Hope (a better tomorrow, victory over Islamo Fascism, a stronger economy, less regulation, lower taxes)...."

The website has been criticized in media accounts for "mudslinging" and misrepresenting Obama's positions. In response to the attack ads, Newsweek published a report on the ads, saying it was the attempt of "a conservative ad man striving to regain his Willie Horton notoriety: and directed readers to factcheck.org to get information on Obama's voting record. The report includes a swipe at MSNBC's Chris Matthews for airing the ad continuously, pointing to Brown's strategy of getting "free" air time for ads by making them controversial.
