WND Repeats Previous Lies About Obama
Topic: WorldNetDaily

From a Dec. 5 WorldNetDaily article on Barack Obama's purported views on the court system:

 

Obama said in a 2001 radio interview said the Constitution is flawed in that it does not mandate or allow for redistribution of wealth.

Obama told Chicago's public station WBEZ-FM that "redistributive change" is needed, pointing to what he regarded as a failure of the U.S. Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren in its rulings on civil rights issues in the 1960s.

In fact, as the excerpt from the radio interview WND included in the article clearly indicates, Obama said no such thing. Obama never "said the Constitution is flawed in that it does not mandate or allow for redistribution of wealth," nor did Obama describe the Warren court's refusal to address the issue of "redistributive change" as a "failure."

WND cited as a source for its interpretation an Oct. 27 WND article making the same false claims (as we've noted).

None of this is a surprise, given that WND and its employees lack the moral compass that would stop most normal people from spreading lies.
