Fight the lies of the right. A little help in case you need it.

[Tennessee Gal]

Some on the right have attempted to make a big deal out of Obama saying that America invented the automobile. Meanwhile they have said nothing about commentators and politicians on the right misrepresenting what is actually in the stimulus bill.



Have you heard this one? $30 million in the bill for protection of San Francisco mice. Republicans have been spreading this far and wide.



IT IS FALSE!

Have you heard the one about ACORN getting billions?



IT IS FALSE!

How about the one involving a high speed train between Disneyland and Las Vegas?



IT IS FALSE!

3. They're Not Even Good Liars Anymore

Used to be one could find a shread of truth or fact in their ludicrious claims. Now it's all fabricated or, even worse, planted.

That was the case with the San Francisco Salt Marsh Mouse...a repugnican tried to throw it in the bill to embarass Speaker Pelosi...it was caught, but that didn't stop the right wing liars from claiming it was in there.

The good thing is the debunking comes fast from our side these days. No longer can the GOOP and their hate radio toadies plant a lie and try to grow it into "fact"...and now not only do they look foolish, but also disengenuous as well. Not quite the way to start working yourself back from the political wilderness.
