According to Fox News columnist Sally Kohn, vice presidential nominee
Paul Ryan's speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday
"was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest
number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single
political speech."
"On this measure, while it was Romney who ran the Olympics, Ryan
earned the gold," Kohn wrote.
In a surprising move, Fox News joined CNN, The Huffington Post, the
Washington Post's Wonkblog, and ThinkProgress in publishing a
fact-check of the Republican vice presidential nominee's speech,
finding that the speech was full of lies and misleading assertions.
Kohn, who describes herself as a "progressive voice on Fox News,"
wrote in her Thursday column that though Ryan came off as likable
during his speech, his misrepresentations and omissions "caused a much
larger problem for himself and his running mate."
In contrast, several Fox News commentators praised Ryan's speech on
air after the event, without mentioning his misleading claims,
according to Media Matters.
In her column, Kohn called out four lies in Ryan's speech. She
critcized Ryan for blaming President Obama for the shutdown of a
General Motors plant in Janesville, Wis., that actually was closed
during the Bush administration. She also knocked Ryan for pinning the
blame for S&P's downgrade of U.S. debt on Obama, when Republicans in
Congress helped precipitate the downgrade by threatening to refuse to
raise the debt ceiling.
"The good news is that the Romney-Ryan campaign has likely created
dozens of new jobs among the legions of additional fact checkers that
media outlets are rushing to hire to sift through the mountain of cow
dung that flowed from Ryan�s mouth," Kohn wrote.

Projection.
Ryan said that the plant was shut down during Hussein. Fact.
Hussein said that he'd save it. He lied.
Democrats said that it was shut down during Bush. They lied.
Democrats said that Ryan Lied. They lied.
Now, make a fool of yourself some more covering for your fascist lying
character assassinating party, Sid.

In article <ReQ%r.282$j5....@fed16.iad>, Eddie Haskell
says...
"But to fairly evaluate Obama's statement, at least two
pieces of context -- missing from Ryan's account --
would be useful: First, that Obama wasn't telling this
plant that he'd save it from a pending closure. He
wasn't addressing a plant that he knew to be closing,
because the closure announcement didn't come until four
months after his speech"
>
> Democrats said that it was shut down during Bush. They lied.
The decision to close the plant was before he was in
office.
What was he supposed to do, exactly? You expect
Presidents to make company decisions now?
I thought righties wanted LESS government?
This is sure a strange issue for you morons to even
approach.

He calls someone a fascist while demanding our President
make private company decisions.

So can we now assert that you accept Fox News as a credible news source,

I do not want a President who is really rich. The rich are

Kerry, or they run as a Democrat.
