"This email is an example of how things get distorted and go viral — even when the facts are just a click away. It’s true that ABC News did a report on Chinese firms winning contracts to repair U.S. bridges. But the report pointedly said states were to blame. It didn’t mention federal funds — let alone stimulus funds — except to note that California turned down federal money to avoid federal “Buy American” laws and hire a Chinese firm."

the sad (scary) part is that so many people don't realize it is spin. It points to an actual desire to see it and believe it. I worry about Americans.

when people could discuss subjects and seek confirmation from trusted sources. Now the right has accepted the ridiculous stance that any info that does not agree with the repub plan is not legitimate. They are the reason the country is in danger. They would rather sink the ship if they dont like the captain. Dangerous, dangerous people.

Ignoring substantial parts of her record if not the facts, she depicts herself as a frugal traveler on the taxpayer's dime, a reformer without ties to powerful interests and a politician roguishly indifferent to high ambition. Palin goes adrift, at times, on more contemporary issues, too. She criticizes President Barack Obama for pushing through a bailout ...
