Politifact labels Romney “mostly false”
6/2/2012 10:55 AM Floyd Harden -
PolitiFact broke new ground today when it labeled Mitt Romney “mostly false,” marking the first time the online political fact checking organization has characterized the veracity of an individual. Editors at PolitiFact released a statement explaining their decision:
“We at PolitiFact are tired of examining individual statements made by the Republican candidate for President when we know the crap that comes out of this guy’s mouth is all about winning the election and nothing about bearing even a passing resemblance to the truth. This is the man who, after criticizing Obama for the auto industry bailout, took credit for the auto industry bailout! Boy, when we ran that whopper through our truth-o-meter, it pissed its truth-o-pants! And remember, our truth-o-meter was able to swallow Bill Clinton’s “I did not have sex with that woman” line without even gagging! Though to be fair, a lot of people swallowed a lot from Clinton. Anyway, we just figured it made more sense to give Romney the blanket “mostly false” label so we could get back to rating statements from politicians who at least stand a chance of coming within spitting distance of the truth.”
Informed of PolitiFact’s label, Mitt Romney issued his own statement. “It’s a shame that at a time when unemployment stands at 800 percent and Amercia has lost 57 of its states to China, PolitiFact has distracted the Amecrian people from the failed Obama presidency by falsely labeling me false instead of praising me for being the only man qualified to lead Amreinaca back to her former greatness. The next thing you know, PolitiFact will be saying I lied when I said I didn’t create the blueprint for Obamacare or I lied when I said I was pro-life after I said I was pro-choice or I’m lying now when I say that just because a fellow undergoes surgery to have his fingers permanently crossed it doesn’t mean he’s trying to get away with lying. And that’s the truth!” - Return to Previous Page
