"Which of my statements do you believe was a "lie" and on what do you base that claim?"

Virtually all of them.

"- He reneged on the promise to take public financing"

He did pledge that. But he also put in a caveat about forgoing money from the respective national committees and reeling in the 527s. Both of which McCain refused to do.

"- If he wins, he will have done so on the claim that McCain is the third Bush term which is an absolute lie -- and you know it."

Oh, nonsense. Certainly Bush isn't helping McCain. But the fact that Obama is leading McCain on the top issues with most Americans is the main factor.

"- He has moved from the most extreme Left -- more extreme than the one avowed socialist in the Congress -- to claim centrist positions that obviously don't exist."

Yawn. He hasn't been on the extreme left.

"- He has hidden his affiliations with terrorists, claiming the relationships are casual when they are in fact much deeper and obviously influential."

There is no evidence he has affiliations with terrorists.

"- He has used racism time and again, while trying to lay it off on the opposing campaign."

Sigh. Only you can ignore the implied racism of the McCain campaign.

"Yet, while I provided indisputable specifics in my post, you can't support your claim with a single legitimate claim."

How many times do I have to do this? McCain and Palin distort virtually everything they say about Obama. Some of it is even just flat made up.

For example, this ad which states that Obama is going to raise taxes to hand over to welfare.

Or linking Khalidi to terrorism.

Or that Obama regretted that the Supreme Court hasn't been more active in redistributing wealth.

Or the claim that "Obama says Iran is a 'tiny' country. 'Doesn't pose a serious threat.'"

That is only a partial quote. Obama was comparing Iran to the USSR during the Cold War. And yes, compared to the USSR, Iran is indeed a tiny country and doesn't pose as serious of a threat.

And these are just the most recent. It is pretty much the same across his campaign since June.
