Comments on State GOP Senator Just Makes Shit Up

When will they institute serious penalties for this kind of behavior? I guarantee that 99% of the people who heard the original ad believe it's true. Corrections never reach nearly the audience of the original error. Benson's campaign should have to pay serious money for this -- and It's Time For A Change should have to pay a half million or so, enough to force them out of business.

Do you realize if the media starts calling these LIES, that people might stop doing it?

Why do you hate our Overlords so?

Makes shit up? Josh, that's your franchise.

Lou Reed sings: "Marguerite totale." Or was it Margaret told Tom.

NO, Will, it wouldn't matter. If you spout lies in public, no amount of media correction will matter one iota.

Thank you, Dan. I had contacted all of the media outlets in Spokane, including KXLY about these issues and received no response. Apparently it takes someone who will expose the deceptions in print to get attention. And I apologize in advance to fnarf and anyone else for my inability to express my concerns in correctly worded sentences.

Sorry. Thanks JOSH!

In addition to pulling false ads, campaigns should be forced to air corrections on every network they advertised on, at their own expense.

Good point, Fnarf. The media may correct it later, when noone is paying attention.

We need jail terms for this stuff.

In Iraq.

If Planned Parenthood condoms had an 80% failure rate, I'd be SERIOUSLY fucked.

Remember when Ellen Craswell, Kook-R candidate for governor, said at her first press conference that homosexuals live on average thirty years less than normal people? I think that came from the Family Research Council too.

Wait, there isn't enough "balance" to this report. Surely there's some unrelated Democrat who was vaguely misleading somewhere that you can paint as equally bad and thus further justify voter non-participation.

Spokane politics are getting really interesting these days. Has anyone noticed? Secret gay mayor, secret gay mayor's secretly gay replacement, nasty d vs r battlefield... is there anything like The Stranger in Spokane? If so, they should start a blog.

I'd call Benson a complete and utter douchebag, but that would be an insult to the humble and useful device itself. I guess I'll stick with calling him a lying moron instead.
