The Missouri Senate race is neck-and-neck. It would be a shame if empty conservative spin helped decide the victor.

Sadly, Fox News Channel's Chris Wallace, on yesterday's edition of Fox News Sunday, did his part to push that spin, falsely claiming that a state ballot initiative on embryonic stem cell research would allow human cloning.

Wallace either does not understand the science at hand, or doesn't care. That's an unfortunate trend of late within the conservative media, not far removed from recent ignorant comments on the subject from radio ranters Rush Limbaugh or Mark Levin, or the misinformation on brain death provided by Sean Hannity and Joe Scarborough, or Limbaugh making up "facts" to argue against global warming.

Here's the theme, in case you missed it: Science isn't the issue; this is personal. Wallace implies Senate Candidate Claire McCaskill is a liar. Limbaugh suggests embyronic stem cell reserach advocate Michael J. Fox is a liar. Hannity and Scarborough bring on guests to say that Michael Schiavo is a liar. Limbaugh makes fun of Al Gore, in order to suggest he is a liar.

1. Because the Missouri race is SO CLOSE, I would be lying if I said no

When the race is that close, anything could affect the outcome.

2. Chris Wallace is a souless.......

boot licking, Republican jackass. His Mom or Dad must have dropped him on his head a lot because he sure doesn't take after his father or mother. They're both human beings. Chris is a brain dead RepubliCON zombie. :mad:

5. John Danforth, Mo's most respected Republican rebuffs all that nonsense

He has the nicest ad out and I know people of Missouri really respect him. He's one republican I
can actually say that I like. He's always been fair. Don't believe Chris Wallace will hurt Claire, we here in Missouri, know just how wishwashy Chris is. Did he say why Jim Talent didn't or wouldn't appear on his show Sunday? Claire was on (by satellite, I think), and she did such a great job of answering Chris's questions.

Go Claire McCaskill. :thumbsup: :dem:
