On the August 15 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, Christian Coalition of America founder Pat Robertson blasted Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) for comments she never made. Purporting to quote Boxer regarding the nomination of John G. Roberts Jr. to the Supreme Court, Robertson falsely stated that Boxer had said, "I've got to wait on Ralph Neas of the People for the American Way to see what he says about it "; and that Boxer said, "I'm going to follow the lead of Chuck Schumer . I trust him." Robertson said he was "absolutely appalled at what she had to say," noting, "She's supposed to be a senator from the biggest state in America."

BLITZER: We're almost out of time, but I just want to get through a couple issues quickly, if both of you will indulge me. Let me start with Senator Boxer, first of all. Based on what you know right now, are you ready to vote to confirm the nomination of John Roberts as the next Supreme Court justice?

BOXER: I don't know enough to say yes or no. I may well vote yes, I may vote no, I may even have other options that I look to. At this point, I don't have enough information. And we're working on getting the information, posing the questions. I have tremendous faith in the Judiciary Committee. I will be watching those. I will be submitting questions. As a matter of fact, the women Democratic senators are getting questions from all over the country to ask him. We need to know, because our freedoms hang in the balance, where is he on the important freedoms that we cherish so much.

From the August 15 edition of Hannity & Colmes:

ALAN COLMES (co-host): You know he's going to get in. Most Democrats are not speaking out against him. There may be a few who probably have some difficulty, but this is really not a question about whether or not this is going to be a done deal, right?

ROBERTSON: I don't think there is any question about it. He's an outstanding nominee, but you mentioned Barbara Boxer. I'm absolutely appalled at what she had to say. I don't know if you read all the transcripts.

COLMES: I did.

ROBERTSON: But she says first, "I've got to wait on Ralph Neas of the People for the American Way to see what he says about it." She's supposed to be a senator from the biggest state in America. And then she says, "I'm going to follow the lead of Chuck Schumer. I trust him." And he's the senator from New York, of course.

3. Can the right wing ever get their facts straight?

If they were really as right as they think they are, they would be able to win arguments based on merit, not smears.

Pigs like this should be handling snakes in a tent somewhere, not having access to everyone's living room.
