I spent a little time on the GOP Twitter feed tonight

[MrScorpio]

Just a few minutes. BUt it didn't take me long to figure that it's pretty much a mouthpiece for some of the more egregious liars in the game.

Such a little chestnut of hate and lies that it is for the more that 40,000 people who follow this travesty…

Right now, they're sporting nothing to support their own ideas (as they really don't have any, like we all suspect), and they are firm in their desire to bash President Obama.

They're operating on three separate themes right now, to give you an idea where their heads are at:

1. Solyndra - GOP lie: It's all Obama fault. According to PolitiFact.com...

With the collapse of Solyndra generating bad headlines for the Obama administration, White House officials are defending the program that helped fund the solar power company's now-shuttered Silicon Valley factory. Meanwhile, the controversy has provided fodder for a new ad from Americans for Prosperity, a group that works closely with tea party activists.

If you’re new to the Solyndra story, start with our fact-check of the Americans for Prosperity ad. The ad says that President Barack Obama gave "half a billion in taxpayer money to help his friends at Solyndra, a business the White House knew was on the path to bankruptcy." We rated that Mostly False. Part of what the ad says is correct, but the charges of political cronyism aren’t supported by the existing evidence.

In defense of the program, White House senior adviser David Plouffe said the loan guarantee program that helped Solyndra "was a program that was supported by President Bush." We rated his statement Mostly True. The program was started under President George W. Bush, but Obama expanded it through the economic stimulus of 2009.

Finally, Mitt Romney mocked Solyndra as a company that had "robots that whistled Disney songs." Romney said this was an example of how government doesn’t know how to run a business. We rated his statement Half True. The whistling robots were actually driverless forklifts that played music as a safety feature.

2. GOP Lie: Obama’s Own Words- America Is “Lazy,” “Soft,” And “Lost” (How Will OFA And DNC Spin These Obama Comments?)

Here are President Obama's own words:

“There are a lot of things that make foreign investors see the U.S. as a great opportunity — our stability, our openness, our innovative free market culture. But we’ve been a little bit lazy, I think, over the last couple of decades. We’ve kind of taken for granted — well, people will want to come here and we aren’t out there hungry, selling America and trying to attract new business into America.”
- Pres. Obama

3, GOP Lie: RT @ReincePriebus: Great points from @SenJohnThune on hitting #15trillion in debt due to Obama’s binge spending

Notice that they have nothing to say about how the Bush tax cuts have affected the national debt… It's the BIGGEST CONTRIBUTING FACTOR:

If the Bush-era tax cuts are renewed next year, that policy will by 2019 be the single largest contributor to the nation's public debt -- "the sum of annual budget deficits, minus annual surpluses" -- according to new analysis from the non-partisan Center for Budget and Policy Priorities.

These tax breaks, combined with the cost of fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, will account for nearly half the public debt in 2019, measured as a percentage of economic output, the CBPP's analysis shows. Even the cost of the economic downturn, combined with the cost of the legislation passed to stem the damage, won't be as burdensome as the weight of the Bush-era tax cuts, the chart below suggests. See if you can find the debt associated with the Trouble Asset Relief Program and the rescue of Fannie and Freddie:

1. K&R

For going into the belly of the beast...

[MrScorpio]

2. Twitter suggested that I check 'em out

So I said, why the fuck not.

I guess that the GOP isn't used to people seeing right through their bullshit.

3. You opened my eyes tonight, MrScorpio...

Because, for years, I've been blaming Fox News... but it's really the GOP via Fox News which is even more disgusting.

Thanks for taking time to put this all together...

Edit: Makes sense of the smashed laptops from the OWS roundup.

4. K&R. You're a brave one, MrScorpio - with an iron-lined stomach.

It never fails to annoy the hell out of me to read the outright lies the GOP sheep spew just because they feel they're entitled to the WH and the government. These people are so full of themselves AND hatred (is their a difference with them?) that there's no reasoning with them.

Can't fill a cup that's already full.

They always conveniently forget their party and their ideology is what gets the U.S. into more trouble than it helps. It are the programs and bills by Progressives that they now benefit from, from social security to the Internet where they spew their bile.

Those White Southern Extremists, calling themselves TeaBaggers these days, are a blight on America, and the rot in our country.

Anyway, I commend you for your courage.

Thank you for the wonderful post.

5. Nice work. I believe Ed Schultz discussed their lies tonight & he did it brilliantly.

6. kick... Thanx for the post

Nothing is beneath thse Republicans these days.
They used to have the decency to keep their slimeball tactics behind closed doors.

There was also a time a Republican would not utter out loud his contempt for the working class. Those were the good old days.
