The Left want exactly this. They want to make an accusation that its constituency will read above the fold and take for fact. The right defends themselves with exhaustive research to prove the accusation wrong and then blam, the left is already on to smear 8 by the time smear 1 is proven false.

Exactly right sappy. Because the Dems operate on the assumption that politics is war by other means. And they are conducting a war. As we speak. Listen to the rhetoric. Thats not the conduct of people engaged in a peaceful exchange of ideas.

An example today:

For the past week we have been told by "news" reporters that 70,000 construction workers have been laid off because of the hold on FAA funding.

Oops! Now that the impasse has been resolved, the corrected number has been reported: 24,000 jobs.

What I also want to know is how could 'reporters' go with such a ridiculous number in the first place, without saying to themselves: "70,000 jobs doing airport construction doesn't really sound possible, I better check it out."
