Thread Name: BS: The Republicans (US)
Subject: RE: BS: The Republicans (US)
so...another typical Republican distortion:
In an ad against Harry Reid (trying to get Sharron Angle elected without allowing her to put her foot further down her throat), 'someone' claims that under Reid, Nevada got less of the stimulus money than any other state. Ol' Harry can't even get his own state it's share...wow...
except that...it is just not true. There were 13 other states that got less money than Nevada!...which corresponds roughly to Nevada's population ranking.
But who cares if it's TRUE? It is aimed at poor, out of work folks who watch Fox News and who WANT to believe that most of their troubles in Nevada are Harry Reid's fault. It is pure fakery and distortion and is the basic Sharron Angle hype..."EVERYTHING is Harry reid's fault!" She no longer talks to mainstream media, because those meanies ask her questions which she MUST sidestep with some oblique attack on Harry Reid. Angle's website has been taken over by 'someone' who has 'sanitized' it from the wing-nut approach she used before the primary.

I'm curious, BB...do YOU see any problem with Rand Paul, Sharron Angle, Michele Bachmann, Jim DeMint, the Gov. of Texas, both senators of Oklahoma...and a dozen other FAR right-wing Repubs who are tossing claims and slogans around with little regard for truth or accuracy?
