The left-wing Tax Policy Center and Obama’s sycophantic media (and Politifraud which rates it “Mostly True”) have joined up to look at the broad outlines and principles of Mitt Romney’s tax plan and decided that Republicans plan to raise taxes on the middle class while cutting them for the wealthy. The Wall Street journal has […]
Politifraud did it again this week. Americans for Tax Reform came out with a press release linked to the Olympic fever pointing out that for those athletes that find themselves in to top tax bracket this year, each gold medal will cost them up to $9,000 in taxes. Note the “up to” and “top tax […]
Over at Sublime Bloviations, they've taken Politifact to the woodshed once again over a “Half-True” claim by President Obama that “Romney outsourced call center jobs to India.” I’ll summarize the situation for you. Back in 2004, when Romney was governor of Massachusetts, the legislature sent him a bill that contained a provision banning state contractors […]
I received an email Tuesday afternoon from Politifact reporter Molly Moorhead. I’m not going to share it with you. What I am going to do is write some things that aforementioned letter inspired. Yes, I’d make an excellent editor. I’m not your editor. My goal isn’t to make your reporting better—it’s to hold you accountable […]
In 2009, Judicial Watch made a big splash when they revealed that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had been using military aircraft to travel to and from her home district in California to the tune of millions of taxpayer dollars. The spendthrift nature of the Democrat-controlled Congress was a key election issue in 2010 and Speaker […]
The self-appointed “fact”-checkers at Politifraud are at it again. This time they’re going after a Crossroads GPS ad that makes a point that I’ve been making for years; President Obama’s promise that “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan.” It was a lie. Anyone with half […]
Politifraud, the self-appointed arbiter of “truth” has graded House Speaker John Boehner’s promise that he would fly commercial, unlike his predecessor, Democrat Nancy Pelosi who famously acted as though the U.S. Air Force was her own private airline. The grade from Politifact: “In the works.” Here’s their research: His spokesman, Michael Steel, told The Hill […]
Sunday morning White House chief of staff Jack Lew appeared on all 5 Sunday morning newscasts—ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN—and on two of them he made similar false claims. CNN’s State of the Union: Liar, liar CROWLEY: And I know -- I want to talk about the tax hike in a second, but I want […]
President Obama and his administration haven’t been particularly understanding of religious beliefs—especially if they are in any way Christian and depart from any tenet of modern-day liberalism. The first evidence of this was the case of Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The case involved a private school teacher whom […]
Three separate fact checking organizations took a look at Slow Joe Biden’s demagogic statement I mentioned the other day about violent crime rates and Flint, Mich. According to The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler, Biden’s claims are “absurd” and earns him 4 pinnochios – the most dishonest rating possible. FactCheck.org referred to Biden’s remarks as a […]
