Seriously where is Fux getting this $200 million / day figure?

[Initech]

Can someone explain this to me? I am totally confused as to where Beck and his ilk are getting these numbers from. I seriously thinking they're making this shit up.

[lumberjack_jeff]

1. They got it from an Indian newspaper.

It was wrong, and they know it was wrong.

[CurtEastPoint]

2. But Hannity, Beck et al kept repeating it.

Repeat it often enough and 'people' will assume it's true.
Fuckers.

[Journeyman]

3. As Jon Stewart observed, Fox has outsourced its bullshit generation. . .

8. Yeah I was laughing my ass off at that line.

I turned it off after he had Rick Perry spouting anti-government tea party bullshit.

[PBS Poll-435]

4. I just figured it is Megyn Kelly's 'Coke' budget + Glenn Beck's Xanex / Unemployment Rate

+ Geraldo's medicinal Mary Jane - Hannity's Lunesta / Sarah Palin's IQ.

5. I think Michele Bachman put it out there

[yurbud]

6. from the same place Republicans get all their ideas ANIMATION:

I've gotta update this and add Sarah Palin...

11. I watched the story develope

It was on India new first and a few minutes later they had it on freerepublic.com and patriot america.com sites. I watched the story blow up.

They pay somebody to post in some news and then they repost on freeper sites.
Here is when it started and it was all over freerepublic net work in minutes

"He will also be protected by a fleet of 34 warships, including an aircraft carrier, which will patrol the sea lanes off the Mumbai coast during his two-day stay there beginning Saturday. "

9. The usual source....

[blue sky at night]

10. we are always repeating their lies..

how does this help?

[white cloud]

12. Ha

This one made them look like the fools they are. The story was laughable yet BecKKK bunch ran with it.

[Initech]

13. That clip Jon Stewart played last night had BecKKK repeeating I dont know! several times.

[blue sky at night]

14. you know what...

you think that way and so do I, but you can rest assured that most of the fundie rightwing douchebags...some of my relatives, believe this with all of their hearts and NOTHING we can say will convince them otherwise. I have seen this over and over again....it is like a poison on the land, and we repeat this garbage: again how does it that help?

[cbdo2007]

15. Who cares - it's true unless you can prove it false.

That seems to be their motto.

[white cloud]

16. Just ignore them and

post a link back to the true story such as snopes.com, factscheck.com, urban legend.com or the news story. Pretty soon they will take you off there mailing list. Then just keep mailing them the truth.

I have a sister in law that I keep mailing news stories to and she got pissed and replied back " I am going to get on the Internet and straighten this out" Never heard from her again..GR

[subterranean]

17. It was reported by some newspaper in India, which attributed the quote to

an anonymous local government official there. Drudge picked the story up on the Internet, and the rest of the right-wing media ran with it.
