From Sam Stein on HuffPo:
The Republican National Committee is sending out another round of automated anti-Obama calls that, somewhat remarkably, include segments from a controversial program that recently aired on Fox News.
In text messages sent to voters, the RNC instructs recipients to call a number to "know the facts" or risk losing "your freedoms this November 4th." Once dialed in, callers are read the standard text of the robocalls tying Obama to former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers.
Then participants get a dose of the fair and balanced. The recording that viewers hear next is the final section of the "Obama & Friends: The History of Radicalism" special program that ran recently on Fox News. That show, quite famously, featured Sean Hannity interviewing Andy Martin, an "Internet journalist" who once called a judge a "crooked, slimy Jew" and advanced the conspiracy theory that "[w]e have not seen a valid Obama birth certificate."
