Gingrich Distorts Immigration Bill
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich made false claims about the Senate immigration bill in a TV ad for a conservative group. He said it "will put...potential terrorists and gang members on a path to U.S. citizenship,” which is contrary to the language of the legislation.
Actually, the bill grants authority to deport any alien who "at any time has participated in a criminal gang." And as for terrorists, the measure also gives the government authority to deny temporary visa status to an illegal alien if "there are reasonable grounds for regarding the alien as a danger to the security of the United States."

EDIT...I make a motion that we democrats do this...Every time a talking head Repug says something stupid, or something we don't like, we respond with "I Think someone had better check the honorable Senator or Congressman X's diaper."
