Rep. Bachmann Blasts Obama's Pricey Asia Trip

it's been coming out "in the press" because Bachmann and Fox put it there. It is a made up story, there are no facts and The Pentagon has come out and denied this whole thing

. . . The Pentagon did not mince words in dismissing as “absolutely absurd” and “comical” media reports from Indian news outlets that the US Navy was sending 34 warships off the coast of Mumbai as part of the security preparations for President Obama’s upcoming trip to India.

Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell did not shy away from dismissing reports that appeared in Indian media outlets, such as the Press Trust of India and the television network NDTV. The Press Trust of India is that country’s largest news agency. . .

Actually it's a figure that came from just one source, a news agency in India, relying on an anonymous source. It was then repeated thousands more times in the blogosphere and over conservative airwaves.

As if that never happens with the main stream media.

so, your telling me that, no liberal has ever done this? Funny, your critical spirit moves again..

wily, abc news, give me a break! Very liberal media outlet, wouldn't believe anything they report.

Wellllllll, if it shows up on FauxNews, and whack-job Bachmann's lips, then it must be true!


rofllol rofllol

Yeah, accuracy has never been Bachmans strong point. Apparently it doesn't matter much to the right wing posters here either. Why worry about truth when you have a good outrage going?

Archer, your back, hope you had a nice trip. How about your fellow liberals rangal, franken, waters, the lies they have told the media, all the while they have broken the law. Your saints, ain't so saintly are they..lets see what the total costs are before you have a tizzy and work yourself up! Thanks for playing!

Sales Tax Spin
Dems attack GOP candidates by misrepresenting the FairTax plan.
October 20, 2010

Summary
Democrats are running misleading ads in several House and Senate races accusing Republicans of supporting a "23 percent national sales tax." The ads fail to mention that the proposed tax — while controversial — is designed to replace all federal income and payroll taxes, and comes with cash rebates to offset the sales tax on essentials such as food, clothing and medical care for everyone. Some of those being attacked have not actually said that they support the tax plan specifically, or have only voiced mild support for it.
Some examples:

In Colorado, Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet claimed in an ad that Ken Buck "wants to add a new 23 percent national sales tax to everything you buy." Buck says the plan should be considered as an alternative, but that "it was never my alternative."

In Mississippi, Alan Nunnelee has been attacked by Rep. Travis Childers and the DCCC for supposedly supporting the plan. But news reports say that Nunnelee has never publicly said that he does, and in one interview, he refused to say whether or not he supports the FairTax. The claim that he does is based on the fact that he listed the FairTax.org page as one his "likes" on his campaign’s Facebook page.

In Ohio, an ad from Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy claimed that her opponent, Steve Stivers, has a "swift idea" for a "new national sales tax" where we "pay 23 percent on everything we buy." Stivers did indicate on a federal candidate questionnaire that he would support either a "flat income tax or a national sales tax" in place of the current income tax. But his campaign says he actually supports a "flat tax."

This line of attack has emerged as a major Democratic theme. We counted at least 33 TV spots since August that make this claim, and it’s being repeated in an unknown number of mailers and in ads running on radio or local cable channels, which we cannot monitor.

Actually, she didn't make it up. She repeated a number that was put out because the Transparent Obama refuses to release any information.
Fact checking. Isn't that one of the pet peeves she kept hurling at liberals?
