This is absolutely correct. I came into to work and one of my co-workers said that Kerry was throwing out more "facts" than Bush. When I pointed out that a statement must be true in order to be a fact he didn't seem to grasp that concept. Because Kerry threw out more lies the uninformed percieve those lies to be facts. Very, Very scary!
Unfortunately there are a lot of simpletons like your coworker out there who are completely clueless. Its like they have become selected for extinction.
