If you have to lie to make your point…
You don’t have a point to make:
‘Wash Times’ Fails to Correct Fabricated Abraham Lincoln Quote – Now a Congressman is Using It
NEW YORK More than two days after an inflammatory quote used by a regular Washington Times columnist was shown to be fabricated – it was attributed to Abraham Lincoln, no less – the newspaper still has not removed it from the article, nor carried a correction.
That’s one reason Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) cited the quote on the floor of the House today in the debate over the Iraq war “surge.” He took it to be true, apparently. Rep. Young added, referring to Lincoln: “He had the same problem this President has, with an unpopular war. The same problem with people trying to redirect the commander in chief.” </em>
Oh wait! There’s more from the wonderland that is the right wing:
Speaker Pelosi’s New Blog Violates C-SPAN Copyright/Trademark of House Proceedings
Will the Speaker bring the gavel down on “the Gavel Blog?”</a>
As you may have heard, Speaker Nancy Pelosi launched a new blog entitled “The Gavel.” Though we applaud the Speaker’s effort to adapt to new technology, the blog violated copyright and trademark law on the very first day.
Not once, not twice, but 16 times?
As of noon today, the Speaker had posted at least 16 videos that are copyrighted
C-SPAN material from the House floor. The RSC spoke with C-SPAN today, who confirmed that these videos violate C-SPAN copyright/trademark of the House proceedings.
Using C-Span for partisan purposes?</em>
Oh heavens, we can’t have that- only the good germans of the right are allowed to do anything “partisan”…but then again, of course they were wrong:
Earlier today, the Republican Study Committee (RSC) released a document about the Speaker’s use of copyrighted/trademarked C-SPAN material on a Congressional website. The document was based upon a conversation that RSC staff had with Barry Katz, the Manager of C-SPAN Video Assets (and the employee identified as being directly responsible for answering questions to Congress about the use of C-SPAN material).
Bruce Collins, the Corporate Vice President and General Counsel of C-SPAN, called post release and said that the information provided by the C-SPAN employee to the RSC was incorrect.</em>
Now that increasing numbers of the American public have reached their fill of optional wars, bloated budgets and corruption, and in doing so, are rejecting the GOP in record numbers, these enablers of doom have to ramp up the rhetoric. Just more lies, louder.
