The GOP's record of distortions and lies is staggering.

The newly established group People of Color United (PCU) began running a series of radio ads August 2 that challenges John Kerry's record on "helping and hiring Blacks."

Some of the content is misleading. One ad blames Kerry for ensuring that jobless workers won't be eligible for an extra 13 weeks of unemployment benefits. It's true Kerry missed a crucial vote in which an extension of benefits fell just one vote short of Senate passage, but the measure was defeated mainly because Republicans voted overwhelmingly against it.

The group's name is misleading, too. "People of Color United" says about half its funds have come from Republican insurance-company owner J. Patrick Rooney, who is white.
