hot air.........hardcore right wing blog.

Right wingers can only go to these disgusting, vile, sources to smear objective new sources that place a value on telling the truth.

Their lemmings don't have the intellect to tell an objective new source from a propaganda web site.

Congratulations to the right-wingers. Being a convincing liar is not something that everyone can do.

Pad, do you actually think politifact is "objective"?

Did you read the most excellent Hot Air piece as he shows just how biased they are?

As he makes clear, the determination is a political one, where those on the Left will say it's a lie and those on the right will dispute it.

All one needs to do is actually look at the ddamage obamacare is doing already, just look at the control that is given to the government to decide what kind of HC we all will get. That IS a government takeover.

Just try to look beyond the messenger and discuss the actually FACTS and BIAS the RW websites list.

Once again for the slow readers.

PolitiFact.com was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting in 2009 for "its fact-checking initiative during the 2008 presidential campaign that used probing reporters and the power of the World Wide Web to examine more than 750 political claims, separating rhetoric from truth to enlighten voters."[

And BO received a Nobel Peace Prize.

So what's your point?

You've posted multiple times since I posted the News Busters link, but still haven't addressed the content. That means you can't refute it.

Any lefty is welcome to refute anything in the hardcore right wing sources it should be so very easy. As I demonstrated Politifacts bias. You should be able to refute the substance of the Politifact critique by the hardcore right wing sites.

We will wait.......

Bueller? Bueller?

The claim was voted on not only by editors of PolitiFact, but also by the public. ABC's Jake Tapper reported that almost 4,000 readers voted.
Oh my gosh, that explains it! Voted on by the public, which probably means the lefties were out in force running up the tally.

They are far more interested in calling people names that dont agree with them and attacking the messenger because they cant attack the content...

Right winger Michelle Bachman comes in a distant 2nd place.

Readers of PolitiFact, the St. Petersburg Times' independent fact-checking website, also chose it as the year's most significant falsehood by an overwhelming margin. (Their second-place choice was Rep. Michele Bachmann's claim that Obama was going to spend $200 million a day on a trip to India, a falsity that still sprouts.)

PolitiFact.com - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Came in handy to disguise the fact that both Iraq & Afghanistan wars had so little financial oversight that contractors category pays millions to the enemy to perpetuate war indefinitely. Fiscal accountability warriors in republican think tanks prefer to assault senior citizens SS income and school education of children as the bane of their existence. The compassionate conservatives who prefer children work in factories to pay for their own elementary school education, which afterall, isn't worth all that much effort if they'll only have one job option upon graduation anyway.
