FactCheck.org weighs in on Democratic convention speeches...

Arbo said:
You fail at trying to suggest I don't know how the thread started, how you came into it, and how you tried to copy Maggie with your statement. The problem is, when you try to mimic her with your failed mocking, you are either intentionally telling a lie, or showing you can't remember what you posted just a matter of minutes ago.

So which is it? Just give us an answer. The diversion won't work, you've been caught.

And let's not forget the outrageous, despicable, and FALSE claims/attacks we heard out of the mouths of some of the speakers... Like for instance that if elected, Mitt Romney would:

raise taxes on middle class...
take away women's right to vote...
take away women's right to abortion...
take away women's right to quality education...
take away equal pay for women...
take away women's access to health care...
take away women's access to birth control pills...
And my personal favorite... that he would return America to the discrimination and violence against blacks that took place in the 1950's and 1960's​

I have never in my life, seen such a disgusting and shameful display of dishonest, slime ball politics. Seriously, how can you democrats tolerate such despicable behavior out of the people that represent your beliefs?

Too funny, grim. Where did you EVER hear a dem politician say Romney would take away a woman's right to vote, or take away quality education for women? Who said that?? As for abortion, that statement is TRUE, do you not know the platform of your own party? As for equal pay for women, we all know what Ryan voted for, don't we? Your statements are despicable lies, grim.

Now your turn... Post evidence that substanciates the following accusations against Romney, or retract them:

raise taxes on middle class... He very well might. He'd definitely gut their benefits.
take away women's right to abortion... He would do everything in his power to suppress it.
take away women's right to quality education... He would.
take away equal pay for women... He could do much to clarify this.
take away women's access to health care... He would cripple it, especially for the poor and elderly.
take away women's access to birth control pills... If the personhood amendment passes, then this would happen.

Let's see if you have the integrity I displayed.

Not sure if you mean MaggieD or factcheck.org, but if you mean factcheck.org, they absolutely did fact check the Republican convention and found far more, and far more egregious, factual problems with the Republican convention:

FactCheck.org : Republican Retreads from Tampa
FactCheck.org : Ryan’s VP Spin
FactCheck.org : Romney’s Sorry ‘Apology’ Dig
FactCheck.org : Romney’s Big Night
FactCheck.org : Santorum’s Distorted ‘Dependency’ Claims
FactCheck.org : Christie’s Fact-Free Keynote

How many threads are there already with the left screaming 'liars!' about the (R)'s?

Do you have any comment on the actual fact checking of the (D) speeches?

I posted fact checks for both sides during the conventions. I don't have to do the selective outrage thing. I like facts, period, and I believe in calling politicians on their lies, period. Not just the other side, but both sides. The fact so many do the selective outrage thing is part of why the country is so divided, why politics is such a mess.

So are you going to answer the question about if you lied about 'not commenting' on purpose, or simply forgot you did comment in a very short period of time?

How interesting... You choose to attack and insult the person who started the thread, and you didn't bother to actually comment on the topic...

Gee, who would have seen that coming?

Oh! You're a freethinker! Well then. You should be well-versed in the basics of making logical, reasonable arguments and permitting your opponents to do the same, as opposed to making petty remarks and acting all butthurt. Right?
