Gotta love facts cuz they speak for themselves.

I would hope that they do the same for the Democrats Debate in October also but I doubt that they will.

Republican debate: Fact-checking the candidates

Not so fast, Luddly. First we need an independent source to fact check these fact checkers. I'm not so convinced. Huge fail on their fact checking concerning Planned Parenthood (I viewed the fact checking video on your link).

 

[Luddly Neddite]

I have posted two sources.

Feel free to post your own fact checking source.

 

[Avorysuds]

Am I missing something because that contained like 4 "fact checks." Fact, there are more facts to be checked in the debate.

FOX and CNN did their worst to provoke fights on the Republican debate stages.

Jake Tapper wasted no time by starting off with the nuclear button question, directed at the front-runner.

Here's the opening question for Hillary in October: "Mrs. Clinton, your grand-daughter is adorable. Are you enjoying being a grandmother?"

Fact-checking politicians always provides a very rich environment for the fact-checker.

Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Of course, partisans only care about fact-checking the other "side".

Why, are you saying only one side from last night's debate was checked?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

For those who don't like the first two sources, here's two more.

Feel free to post your own.

“As regards Planned Parenthood, anyone who has watched this videotape, I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes. Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.”


–business executive Carly Fiorina


Fiorina might have trouble finding this video to show to Clinton. No video has surfaced showing the scene Fiorina describes taking place inside a Planned Parenthood facility.

It's politics. Politicians fabricate.

I did not receive a hummer from that woman, Monica Lewinski.

If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.

Hillary's Balkan adventures: "I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."

I don't know how accurate Fiorina's description of the PP was, because I haven't watched them. Politically speaking, for anyone who's open at all to the pro-life argument, she made a very forceful and passionate impact on that turn.

Why is it that in every single thread about Republicans, RWs are DESPERATE to derail it and change the subject to Dems?

I'm not saying there weren't fabrications. I assume there will be going into any political debate. So, if you're saying that people made stuff up last night, I guess that's just not very interesting to me. Next question: then why am I here? Good question. Have a day.

Not surprising that you would jump on this. After all, they're not children. They're fetuses.

Agonal movement, even apparent breathing, is not life. Its a reflex of the brainstem and can very disturbing to see.

Fact is, organ use is very common and abortion is legal.

I was addressing your statement about a video not existing, which it does and not anything else.

Where was the videotapes she is talking about recorded then? Surely the person who took the videos would know. Right? I will try to look up more on her story tonight, Luddly. Thank you for the other links.

They didn't say much. We've never seen anything like this in history. Trump owns them all. Ben carson today rubio tomorrow maybe Walker fiorino or Cruz. Or jeb Christie huckabee. This is great!
