Expose those RW talking points

Unfortunately, too many in this country want so badly to believe things because it fits in with their world views, despite the facts. For instance:

The Truth About Clinton and Bin Laden: Another Right-Wing Talking Point Exposed

snip...

But one Clinton-bashing RNC talking point is not funny or comedic in the slightest. It’s a lie meant to disguise the miserable job that Republicans have done at avenging 9/11, and it’s being promoted with increasing desperation as we approach the mid-term elections.

The lie is that Bill Clinton had an easy opportunity to capture Osama Bin Ladin, but let him get away.

It’s one thing to hear this on Fox News; America’s Propaganda Network predictably allows this contention to go unrefuted by discoverable facts. It’s quite another thing when the lie has become so pervasive that ABC feels entitled to air a “docu-drama” which supports that lie.
