FACT CHECK: Santorum on CNN is proclaiming...

[Buckeye_Democrat]

... that the segregated ballots received after election day are being counted and mixed up with the earlier received ballots.

I assume he's a LIAR, or being deceptive in some way by not telling the whole truth, but the other CNN pundits have quietly listened like he's spouting the truth.

1. Like he could know

[Buckeye_Democrat]

3. Good point.

Google certainly hasn't helped me to confirm it, anyway.

2. Stinky Glop Says What? nt

[spanone]

4. He said 'I was told'

[Buckeye_Democrat]

5. That fucker!

Disappointed in the other CNN peeps silently letting him spew that BS!

[NoRoadUntravelled]

13. When Republicans lie they preface it with "I was told" or "People say"

They think no one notices.

[misanthrope]

6. He's full of Santorum

Nasty stuff

[standingtall]

7. What difference would that even make

other than try to accuse poll workers of breaking some stupid law imposed by the republican state legislature?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

10. He was spewing an accusation that they were...

... violating a Supreme Court order.

[gratuitous]

8. He seems to have gotten his second wind

Last night, he was kind of deflated, but I saw that segment just now, and he was running his mouth like a freshman after his first-ever joint. The panel pushed back on a couple of his groundless assertions, and Santorum wasn't prepared to really push his point of view. He did make a bunch of snide comments about the "Democrat" Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and how it was making rulings that he didn't think were grounded in Pennsylvania law (which was quite hilarious to my ear).

9. That's why I hate cable news.

Either most reporters don't know why that is probably BS or they think it is not their place to challenge the guest.

11. They're just making shit up to enrage the magats

Which isn't a terribly difficult thing to do.

[StTimofEdenRoc]

12. Is there a court order to separate them?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

14. Apparently.

I read about them being segregated and treated separately a few days ago, but didn't focus much attention on it because of the glowing pre-election polls.

I suspect that he's full of shit!

[dem4decades]

15. So Twitter takes down lies but CNN promotes them?

F CNN.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

16. GOP lies can take people by surprise sometimes.

I used to fact-check Limbaugh years ago after he told some whoppers that made Democrats sound really bad, and he was ALWAYS deceptive in some way.

I stopped listening to him on my car radio (usually on my way to work while station-flipping) eventually. It was not always easy to spot the lies, though, because I'm not a human encyclopedia such as Noam Chomsky.
