Falsification and Obama Nation

In the recent biography of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, Obama Nation, the author(Jerome Corsi) manipulates true facts about Obama. He states that Obama has a dual citizenship in Kenya, was addicted to drugs as a teenager, and that he is a Muslim. But all of those facts are from unreliable sources and the author has a biased opinion about Obama, and he is trying to make Obama seem like he would be a bad president.
I have noticed several presidential campaign ads and articles whose main focus is bashing the opposing candidate. I think that this reflects badly on them because they are only talking about how their opponent is bad, and not talking about why they are good. I think that when candidates are always saying bad things about their opponents , it reflects badly on them, because when people find out that they are lying about the other candidate they will think lower of them, and be less likely to vote for them and support them. which is why it will be worse for them in the long run.
