Are you familiar with the folks over at flackcheck.org.... it's a parody project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. As they describe themselves, "FlackCheck.org uses parody and humor to debunk false political advertising, poke fun at extreme language, and hold the media accountable for their reporting on political campaigns."
They are currently running a series applying the tactics of today's super pacs as they would have been applied to smear to the re-election campaign of Abraham Lincoln.
It is true, even in an alternate reality, that those who are ignorant of history are condemned to repeat it.
In this real world, the sister site of this project, factcheck.org is "a nonpartisan, nonprofit “consumer advocate” for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics. We monitor the factual accuracy of what is said by major U.S. political players in the form of TV ads, debates, speeches, interviews and news releases."
They are a national treasure created and supported by the Annenberg Foundation and should be required reading in every American home.
