Fact-less claims by politicians

New


Fact-less claims, known as lies in some circles, are the bedrock of politics. Claims like this sound very impressive and are designed to tantalize the gullible and uninformed. They are very difficult to refute on the spot and very time-consuming to disprove.


Retort to these fact-less claims when delivered: There you go again, ala Reagan. Please back that up and cite where you found that information? The Romney version ... Nice Try!

Diversions. Democrat talking heads still pegging their "bad economy claims" to Bush 43 ... but Democrats controlled the House and Senate for the last two years of Bush and the first two years of Obama. Democrats had the Congressional power to do what ever they wanted while excluding Republicans ... and they failed. 5/21/12

400,000 jobs supported. Another wild Obama claim and the spin. [economics21.org] It depends on what the definition of is, is. Remember, it was last month that striking workers going back to work were considered new jobs created. And of course, there is virtually no way to measure “jobs saved.” It is simply a way for Democrats to spin the economic news and make no news and bad news look positive. Free and reputable journalists would question all of these spin phrases.

The Older Fables . . .


Remember when John Lewis, while a member of the US Congress, claimed that the sea routes from Africa to the USA used by the slave traders back in the early days of the USA, were infested with sharks yet today. Why? That is where the slave traders threw slaves overboard. Fact checking by the media shows that this was a fact-less claim used for partisan political gain.


Remember when Bill Clinton, when running for the presidency, claimed that he remembered black churches being burned to the ground [or words to that effect] when he was growing up. Fact checking by the media shows that this did not happened. It was a fact-less claim used for partisan political gain.
