When Democra-ogues Attack: The Democrats Lie By Omission On Harken Energy

"The stock Bush sold for $4 was selling for $3 two months later and fell to around a dollar by the end of 1990. It rebounded to nearly $9 a year after Bush sold. Today it sells for 44 cents a share."

Clearly we can see that the Democra-ogue media is pretending that Harken Energy tanked after Dubya sold his stock. (With the qualifier about the stock going up to nearly 9.00 a year after his sale in 1990)

Harken Energy was doing quite well, thank you very much, until late in 1998 - fully 8 years after Dubya's original stock sale.

Wonder why Pete Yost and the rest of the boys & girls at the Associated Press didn't catch this little tidbit?

Or perhaps they didn't want to.

Good work! Such a simple thing you did, but not one single reporter has bothered to mention this. Thank you!

[an amused spectator]

They're too busy getting lickered up at the local DNC watering hole, where all the drinks are on the Democra-gogues. ;-)

Even Byron York did not go into as much detail as you did ( and his pieces have been excellent). The media's behavior (excluding Fox) on the Harken issue this past week, exceeds the words "Bias" and "Slander"- the next book title, should be " Filthy Liars".

[an amused spectator]

Heads-up. I've got some info on this in your FR mailbox.

I'd double my contributions if FR had some image-hosting capabilities. Public domain and self-produced graphics only. A line graph would be helpful.

Well, #1: As we've seen, a month is an eternity in stock prices.

#2: If the price dropped way down in one year, then a lot of Harkin's shareholders sold along with Bush.

The lefties don't seem to realize that when a stock drops a lot, that means a lot of shareholders sold. They seem to have this vision that one guy makes a lot of money while everyone else is left standing with a penny stock when a stock dives. It takes a lot of shareholders selling to drive a major stock down, that means many sold long before it became a penny stock.

Ahh! Not the Democragogue!
