Joel Pett for October 26, 2010

Propaganda is easier to understand than facts.

Yeah, he really has cut taxes. And he has been deporting record numbers of illegal immigrants. Check the facts. (Helpful hint: FOX News is not a source of facts; FactCheck.org is.)

And he made BILLIONS in profits off TARP for taxpayers.

out of those deported how many have come back. think they are gonna leave the gravy train that easy.

“cut taxes? really?”

Yes, the Stimulus bill contained billions in tax cuts.

“He increased the troops in Afganastan when the Generals asked for about 5000 more troops then they got.”

Do we care about our deficit or don’t we? The troop count was increased significantly.

The voting public (or maybe about half of it) 2010!

Harley:

I appreciate the effort, but:

Even assuming Dllard is correct, the policy seems eminently reasonable;

2, 3, & 4 are critiques of future tax policy that may or may not be implemented; the ‘toon refers to stimulus tax cuts;

Politico crapped out (the link failed)

The last is nit-picking; most Republicans generally support the Afghan policy.

The ‘toon stands. No doubt there is anger. It is often not rationally directed.

Oo, oo, my turn!

Diminished Iraq/Afghan effectiveness due to DADT removing numerous translators: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/08/opinion/08benjamin.html?_r=1 If we really care about “inviting attacks” stop kicking out the people that speak the language!

Tax Cuts for 95% of working families? Stimulus made it so http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/jan/28/barack-obama/tax-cut-95-percent-stimulus-made-it-so/ (true)

Democrats attack small businesses? http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/aug/04/randy-neugebauer/lawmaker-claims-democrats-want-hit-small-businesse/ (Pants on Fire)

Republicans opposed stimulus and then touted its effect? http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/feb/05/barack-obama/obama-criticizes-republicans-who-opposed-stimulus-/ (True)

Obama cut budget for illegal immigration effort? http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/may/05/mike-pence/republican-says-obama-cut-budget-illegal-immigrati/ (False)

“Numbers on illegal immigrants “are down in terms of apprehensions, which indicates fewer illegal crossings, but also up in terms of actual enforcement actions.” http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/may/03/janet-napolitano/facts-illegal-immigrants-show-nuances-enforcement-/ (Mostly true)

Ooo, Harley got zinged. Why is he “so grossly misformed”?

Señora Anthony I think Señor Harleyquinn might be getting paid to be a right wing pendejo.

“How in the world can you give income tax cuts to 95% when 50% Of those do not pay income tax?” http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Tax/ge-exxon-paid-us-income-taxes-09/story?id=10300167 Just like all of those poor poor companies that are so “grossly overtaxed” yet pay no money at all or actually PROFIT from their income taxes.

And additionally, like the Richest 2% of our country who pay less in percentage of income taxes than the middle class. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/27/AR2007062700097.html

^ Don’t confuse him with facts.

DISinformation is more soothing to the right than mere MISinformation, like the presence of WMDs in Iraq or the fact that massive tax cuts for the rich DOUBLED again the national debt during Bush’s policies and budgets- but hey- who needs any facts, or badges, or civil rights, or justice?
