Mitt Romney says campaigns shouldn't run ads if fact-checkers say they're wrong

by Hunter



Oh, Mitt.

“You know, in the past, when people pointed out that something was inaccurate, why, campaigns pulled the ad,” Romney said on the radio. “They were embarrassed. Today, they just blast ahead. You know, the various fact checkers look at some of these charges in the Obama ads and they say that they’re wrong, and inaccurate, and yet he just keeps on running them.”

I'm not sure Mitt is actually paying attention to his own campaign at this point. Do they only let him out of his box for these speeches?

Irony:

Heitkamp Gets Crossroads Ad Pulled For Falsehood

Democratic Senate candidate Heidi Heitkamp has successfully pressured the conservative group Crossroads GPS to take down a false ad, according to the Associated Press.

The ad claimed that when Heitkamp was North Dakota’s attorney general in the 1990s, she used taxpayer money for private planes. In fact, as a Heitkamp ad rebutted, the two aircraft in question were surplus planes provided for free by the U.S. Department of Defense, and were used for drug enforcement.

Yes, Mitt Romney really said this:

“You know, in the past, when people pointed out that something was inaccurate, why, campaigns pulled the ad,” Romney said on the radio. “They were embarrassed. Today, they just blast ahead. You know, the various fact checkers look at some of these charges in the Obama ads and they say that they’re wrong, and inaccurate, and yet he just keeps on running them.”

I sympathize with Romney’s plight. I’ve said that the Priorities USA ad suggesting Bain is to blame for the steelworker’s wife goes too far. I agree that the Obama ad labeling him as an “outsourcer in chief” was false. It was unfair and misleading of Dems to quote Romney this way: “I like being able to fire people.”

And yet it remains puzzling that Romney would go here. After all, fact checkers have called out his ads as wrong, inaccurate, misleading or false again and again and again and again and again and again and again. If Romney pulled any of those ads, I’m not aware of it.

Many of Romney’s main attack lines been panned by the fact checkers. As the above links demonstrate, many of his ads have been based on complete distortions of what Obama has said or proposed, whether we’re talking about the “didn’t build that” ads, the “it worked” spot, or the latest ad claiming Obama wants to send “welfare checks” to those who don’t work.

3. So, Ma'am, He Is Taking Down Every Campaign Ad He Has Run To Date, Then?

Because every one of them has been filled with, and built around, lies, and not just simple lies, but obvious, pathetic lies, of the sort that reveal an absolute lack of respect for the possibility of intelligence in the people being lied to, lies so broad and divorced from reality the liar can only have utter contempt for anyone who believed them.
