Peter Roskam has a history of lying and making attacks on his opponents over things that he's actually guilty of himself. For example, he's attacked Tammy Duckworth (2006) and Jill Morgenthaler (2008) for carpetbagging, while he himself has twice moved his residence (Wheaton to Naperville and back again) for electoral reasons.
Now he's trying to claim he's allied with Barack Obama, even though the truth is that Roskam is as far right as it gets.
Yesterday I got in the mail I received a full-page color flyer touting support from supposed Obama supporters. At the top is a photo of a Hispanic family and a quote, "I registered to vote so I could vote for Barack Obama. I'm voting for Peter Roskam because he is fighting hard for families like mine."
This is the same Roskam who ran a borderline-racist campaign in 2006, sending out "Welcome to America" kits blasting immigrants.
Roskam even set up a website, www.ObamaVotersForRoskam.com that he's trying to use to siphon Democratic votes.
Today on the web I caught this ad which claimes Obama says Roskam is "terriffic":
Obama is in no way, shape, or form supporting Peter Roskam. This ad is a lie. Let's kick Peter Roskam out of Congress!
