Three Pinocchios for Romney's First Behind Closed Doors Tape

And maybe the most stunning:

Some 44 percent of those who do not pay income taxes are because they benefit from tax benefits aimed at the elderly, while another 30 percent benefit from tax credits for children or for the working poor, according to a paper published by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.

But not all of these people are automatically Obama supporters. In fact, according to a map published by the Tax Foundation, eight of the top ten states with the lowest income-tax liability are the heart of Romney country — the deep south. The only exceptions are Florida, a battleground state, and New Mexico, which leans toward Obama. Meanwhile, most of the states with the lowest level of nonpayers are Obama states.

is that Mitt doesn't even understand the profile of those who support him.

What isn't a surprise is confirmation that he lies behind closed doors just as much as he does on the campaign trail.

1. I don't think it's a lie.

I think it's complete ignorance.

2. Good fact-checking

but why is this the only part that seems to bother some people? Whether 47% of people pay no taxes (or what kind of taxes they pay) seems to be beside the point compared to the heartlessness/contempt Romney shows towards a significant portion of American society.
