Quickies


  • Michelle Bachmann, yet another female right wing lunatic in the mold of Palin, lied today by saying her presidential campaign had over 250,000 donors.  She's crazy.
  • Ron Paul called the Occupy Wall St. protest a "legitimate effort." 
  • Turns out Sean Hannity's claim that Obama was hanging out with Black Panthers in 2007 is a total lie.  Yeah, real shocker.  
  • Fox News' Steve Doocy, once again, distorts the facts about Reagan's presidency.  Doocy claimed that Obama's policies won't work and he should instead look at Reagan's "permanent tax cuts" to get the economy on the right track.  As County Fair notes, Reagan's tax cuts in '81 and '86 were offset by his 11 tax increases.  One of those 11 increases was the largest tax increase during peacetime in history.  Never mind any of that though.  As always though, we aren't talking about Real Reagan here.  Republicans are simply talking about Fantasy World Reagan.
