Stupidest viral claims of 2012
From Factcheck. I'm pretty sure we've seen them all on Too Hot. most far more than once.
Quote:
Dueling graphics on the debt both overstated and understated President Obama’s contribution to the debt.
No, Obama didn’t give Alaskan islands to Russia, and his early records weren’t “sealed.”
Over-the-top “death panel” claims about the Affordable Care Act included purely invented stories about elderly Americans being denied dialysis or brain surgery.
Vote-rigging conspiracies claimed that Tagg Romney owned voting machines in Ohio (he doesn’t) and that uncounted military ballots swung the election for Obama (from a “faux news” site).

Did they bother to fact check the number of kids Obama has murdered with his drones?

Probably not before you failed to look up the definition of "murder."

Right, I forgot that it's not murder if the government does the killing. Then it's just "collateral damage".
LULZ!

I see you're more focused on internetz slang than actually trying to read up on what you profess to know about. Which is about what I expected.

Why are you asking me? I thought Factcheck had all the answers.
Is that not so?

No, I don't believe it fact checks everything that ever occurs to anyone anywhere. This particular piece was about false rumors that went viral this year.
It's really not hard to understand.

Utrasound = rape.
Game. set. match.
This claim was the explosion of the idea from years earlier that the ultrasound machine is a right-wing trap. The Dems kept that one in their back pocket for an election year.

Why, are you making an argument for indiscriminate killing?
Fantastic. Welcome to the world of international terrorism. Orientation starts shortly. How does it feel to be no better than the people you are fighting?
Maybe you can get a job in Obama's administration, seeing as how you share his murderous views?

Alex Jones was on Piers Morgan last night. The whole operation falls apart when he leaves the bunker.

LOL, got to love the cognitive dissonance.
A: "Drones are murdering a large number of innocents, including women and children, overseas. "
B: "But, but, but... Alex Jones! Infowars! A derp a derp a derp!"
