There are a lot of headlines today about Ryan:

TISK, TISK
RYAN SPEECH BUILT ON DEMONSTRABLY MISLEADING ASSERTIONS (huffpo)


PAUL TALES: RYAN MISLEADS AGAIN & AGAIN

But I like the New Republic's best.

That dude is a LIAR!

[Dawgs]

1. You're right. This is the one article that EVERY DEMOCRAT/LIBERAL/PROGRESSIVE should be sharing.

It lays it out in simple terms that everyone should be able to understand.

[nc4bo]

2. Just wait until tonight. We haven't seen anything yet. nt

[auburngrad82]

3. Even Fox News fact checked it and said it was full of lies

Sally Kohn said that Ryan won the gold medal for most lies in a speech.

4. The US Media has a chance to make up for Iraq by calling rMoney on his overt lies and NOT...

...doing the false equivalency crap

[pampango]

5. Great graphic on the causes of the deficit - #1 Bush tax cuts; #2 - Bush recession;

#3 - Bush wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

6. Without lies, the GOP has nothing to run on!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. wow! Thanks so much for putting these all in one place!

You're awesome!

[NJedwina]

14. Thanks

What I am trying to do is get all the media pushback in one post that I can then link to in one tweet. Since I am new here, I can't do that. If anyone would like to help me get the word out, especially since my intention is shame any Ryan MSM fluffers to start reporting the truth and to spread the word far and side about Ryan's lies.

[goclark]

9. Excellent Post! K and R!

[Segami]

10. k&r!

[Viva_Daddy]

12. Now we know why Romney picked Ryan

He wanted to balance the ticket with another good liar.

[highplainsdem]

13. +1,000

[railsback]

15. The wheels are quickly falling off the triumphant Ryan speech

Even some on the Right are getting uncomfortable with all the lying. It makes them look bad having to go out and defend all this nonsense.. and it also takes a lot of energy. They just finished 8 years of Hell defending Bush - can't see how anyone in their right mind would want to do that all over again.
