So much for PolitiFact

[del]

Which in no way makes the supposed lie actually a lie.

Is it painful to be so often wrong?

Well yes it was.

Romney was saying that GM was going to close up American plants, fire American workers and open up Chinese plants and hire Chinese workers.

He knew that was not the plan.

Hence he lied.

It was not the first time or last time he did that during his campaign, either.

Sorry, but I read the WS article and they made a very compelling case that it was NOT a lie. You? Not so much.

that'd because you're unwilling to face reality

really not my problem

The Weekly Standard? A radical wingnut publication? No thanks, I'll wait for "credible" reporting on the matter...

That's how the radical right works. When they don't like something, just lie, the ignorant GOP sheep will believe it, just like the trolls in this thread have proven.

So please disclose your source of information, Mother Jones, Huffington? Now when you speak of sheep you sound like one. Just don't forget to swallow! So hows that hope for spare change and moving forward game treating your sorry unproductive ass?

Politifact responded and called BS on the radical right wing lies, they still stand behind Willard's statement as the lie of the year

Typical for the 'talking points' generation. Can't think too deep. It's about what FEELS right.

According to.... The Weekly ******* Standard??

Come back when you got a real source.... Lame.

So, the Weekly Standard thinks for you? You're not able to tell the difference between the two for yourself?

Reading comprehension issues? I said I READ the article and it was compelling. You? Not so much.

Yes, some of us can read different sources and decide for ourselves who has made a compelling case and who has not. You fall into the latter. Good luck with that.

If that's supposed to be a compelling case, you've failed.

it's been addressed multiple times by multiple posters, including me.

your decision to close your eyes and stick your fingers in your ears isn't my problem.

perhaps you should ask president-elect romney how it worked out for him?

PolitiFact this week judged statements about the Arizona immigration law and Climategate. Guess what side these fact-checkers chose? If you guessed “Progressive/Democrat,” you’re a winner!

'PolitiFact is not that honest fact-checker. And these aren’t isolated cases. Once widely regarded as a unique, rigorous and reasonably independent investigator of political claims, PolitiFact now declares conservatives wrong three times more often than liberals. More pointedly, the journalism organization concludes that conservatives have flat out lied nine times more often than liberals.'

Objectivity not in store.

The Weekly Sub-Standard has no credibility. They were stupid enough to parrot the Gore at Monticello lie. As you well know Gore named the left flank bust as Franklin without any help from the curator.

WHILE ON A TOUR of Monticello as vice president, Al Gore examined busts of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin and asked the curator, "Who are these people?" A single newspaper reported Gore's embarrassing ignorance. Meanwhile when presidential candidate George W. Bush was unable to name the leaders of four nations in a reporter's pop quiz, it was a topic of media concern for weeks.

Ann Coulter's latest book, "Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right," is rich with delightfully revealing comparisons like this one, compiled to expose the liberal media's double standard when it comes to matters of left and right. ...

That report's no different than what was at at the time. They'd build Jeeps in China, but not shut down U.S. plants to do it. THAT was the Romney lie. What total OP FAIL!

Mittens also lied when he said that Obama had 'sold Chrysler to Italy'. Obama did no such thing.

how come the rw's never address the FACTS?

 

[AmyNation]

The issue with politifact, which makes both the left and the right rant about them, is they don't just deal with the exact words, but what is also implied by them. Obama quotes a random figure, technically the figure is accurate, however in the context he put it in, they deem it a lie.

Romney talking about Chrysler building cars in china, coupled with the shady ad, its clear he was attempting to imply a move from America to china, instead of the expansion.

So GM closed down US plants, fired American workers, then opened up plants in China and hired Chinese Workers?

Well Swallow here's the breakdown from Politicfact on why they called it the lie of the year

PolitiFact has selected Romney's claim that Barack Obama "sold Chrysler to Italians who are going to build Jeeps in China" at the cost of American jobs as the 2012 Lie of the Year.

so lets do it line by line shall we?

PolitiFact has selected Romney's claim that Barack Obama "sold Chrysler to Italians

So now we know, Fiat, an Italian compnany owns Chrysler.....so this part is true

who are going to build Jeeps in China

so they are building jeeps in china and people like you said they werent...again this part is true and you were wrong..

at the cost of American jobs as the 2012 Lie of the Year.

so you build Jeeps overseas and not in the US, hmmmm sounds like it cost Americans jobs.....so true.....


so basically Politifact is full of shit.....but we already knew that.

Is Fiat Italian? he said Italians, not Italy....you cant be this stupid.

Chrysler was one of the companies that received billions in loans from the federal government. The government ended up forcing Chrysler into bankruptcy in 2009 when its debtholders couldn’t reach an agreement. Since Chrysler emerged from bankruptcy, the Italian car company Fiat has held a controlling interest.

So you gave Obama credit for the bailout and the governement owned Chrysler....funny how you get owned on every post
