Is there a site where you can verify or refute RW "facts" being sent around?

[Frustratedlady]

A friend sent one on and asked if I could help her determine if it was true/false. The author(s) listed "reference" sites you can go to, but not the actual page/paragraph/chart they got their information from. You can always bend the numbers any way you want to prove your point.

This one is comparing Obama's term against Bush's term in unemployment, bank closures, national debt and a whole bunch of other crap.

Surely there is a place like SNOPES that I could use.

3. Can I copy/paste the email to that forum? There are no links.

I posted one of the RW blurbs on DU and got chewed out. I think it's important that we have the information to refute the propaganda when we see them floating around. This person is an independent and I'd like to show her this email is wrong.
