WAPO fact-checker gives Romney only 3 Pinoccios" re: Ohio military lie

[Marzupialis]

Romney says Obama wants to keep military members from voting early, and this somehow does not earn 4 "pinoccios," while Harry Reid's claim (unable to be proven or denied) earns 4. This guy's pro-Romney agenda is clear. His twitter account is

The link to the 4 pinoccios to Reid is on another thread.

1. Serious issue

This is a very serious issue. The far right killed John Kerry with the Swift Boat lies and if they can sell this using the help of some military types, they could do some serious damage..
We had better get the truth out quickly and forcefully before yet another anti Obama lie is circulated..This has the potential to do some serious damage..seriously..

2. I have posted the Snopes link debunking the lie, on my social media, to get the word out.

People online seem to trust Snopes, and snopes says it's false.

3. Seriously?

WaPo ... Perhaps you should re-read the lawsuit. On the first page, the suit clearly requests that the change be enjoined to preserve the early voting for ALL Ohioans. If successful, veteran voting rights will be unaffected; but if unsuccessful, the early voting rights of non-veterans will be curtailed.

4. At least they're saying it's untrue.

But I agree it's easily a 4 pinocchio lie.

It seems their justification for giving only 3 is that Romney's lie was "carefully worded." No, it wasn't. It was a blatant attempt to make people believe Obama was trying to restrict and undermine military voting rights.

5. This stuff must be too complicated for them to understand/comprehend

so they cut the real liars some slack- if they're Republican, of course. Or they just can't accept the fact that Republicans lie so damned much and they try so damned hard to give them any kind of benefit of doubt that they can.
