It's not Republicans smearing ALL Democrats as "H8rs".
It's not Republicans sneering that "you ALL hate women".
It's not Republicans implying that your chosen candidate is a "felon".
Don't bother Democrats, or their allies, with the FACTS. They'll TELL you what the "facts" are.
An example of "fact-checking" is this:
A case in point: a perfectly correct statement by Sen. Rand Paul that the average federal employee makes $120,000 a year, while the average private-sector employee makes $60,000. This was labeled "FALSE," by PoliFact because the figures included benefits. On salary alone, the folks on the federal payroll only made $31,000 more than their counterparts.
Bold-face mine.
Another instance of "fact-checkers" bias:
If you want a clue about the objectivity of "fact-checkers," take a look at what snopes.com has to say about Barack Obama's claim to have visited 57 states. It turns out this "a mixture of true and false information." Why? Because Barack was obviously tired and meant to say 47, and some obscure, anonymous blogger somewhere claimed that he used this number because there are 57 Islamic states.
If Obama had been a Republican, this would have been labeled as FALSE.
In the past, I've recommended snopes.com for checking forwarded email's veracity.
No more - their political bias is clear.
