FactCheck.org, which is ordinarily in the tank for Obama, comes out and says that the 90% of guns in Mexico come from the US that the administration parrots is false: But is it true as President Obama said, that “More than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States?” No, […]

Round 2.

For a group that is supposedly checking facts, they don’t seem to be very good at it when there’s an election to win: These guys are so ticked off by the fact that the NRA decided to push back instead of meekly accepting “Factchecks” personal biases that they’re not even really looking very hard and […]

Sharing sugar daddies.

From John Lott. Also, PBS looks at various fact-checking sites.

PGP has an interesting observation: But when you get down to it, the real question is where?s the pro-RKBA side?s motivation to lie in the first place? I can?t imagine a candidate in recent memory for any national office more philosophically opposed to our point of view than Obama. There?s no reason for us to […]

Apparently, not many. I discussed it yesterday but here’s a round up of what others have to say: Joe on their bias: There’s another possible explanation behind FactCheck’s positions. Just last year, FactCheck’s primary funding source, the Annenberg Foundation, also gave $50,000 to the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence for “efforts to reduce gun […]

Bob Owens has a lengthy post on Fact Check. More from National Review. The WaPo falls for the same line. Funny how all these joints with fact check in the title don’t actually, you know, check facts. Past coverage here.

Factcheck takes on the NRA ad against Kerry and says the NRA is full of it. Factcheck, unlike the mainstream media, actually does try to obtain facts about guns (for example, they called a Moveon ad as misleading as they get). But Factcheck is wrong this time. Says factcheck: The ad starts off saying, “John […]

Howard Nemerov debunks the Brady Campaign’s talking points about gun-free Australia. Excerpt: We’ll give the Brady Campaign a half-point for a partial truth: if there are fewer firearms, they cannot be used to commit murder. But claiming that banning guns has had any effect on the actual murder rate is simply molding the facts to […]

Under Barack Obama, handgun production went up 192%. Gun salesman of the century.

Despite his signature being affixed to the bottom of a questionnaire supporting gay marriage, his handlers say it wasn’t him. Where have I heard this before? Oh yeah: Obama was being misleading when he denied that his handwriting had been on a document endorsing a state ban on the sale and possession of handguns in […]

Fact Check on gun traced in Mexico.

Factcheck asks why more gun in Mexico aren’t traced. They say it’s because the system isn’t in English. Odd. Also it’s because a lot of guns come in from Mexico’s southern border.

The president of Mexico issued some demands for US gun laws: * Ban on semi-automatic rifles * Gun owner registry * One gun-a-month * Enact Mexican gun laws in the United States Obama blames the US for all Mexico’s problems. Of course, we know the issue is grossly overstated. David Hardy looks at factcheck.org’s analysis: […]

A bill to outlaw gardening? Update: False alarm. Well, maybe. It is factcheck.

A guest post from a reader: Some thoughts Obama’s stand on CCW and why this matters to Virginia… Parts of western Virginia are, based on the statistics I’ve found, armed camps. In rural western Virginia, the rate of concealed carry permits in the general population runs at about 2.5 percent. Not 2.5 percent of those […]

[AKA All Linky, No Thinky: Tgirsch Edition, AKA “What I’m reading today.”] Since Uncle’s on the beach enjoying his vacation, I figured I’d give you folks some blog fodder to get you all worked up: I voted today. Spoiler alert! I voted Democrat. *gasp!* The Guardian (UK): All the screaming you’re hearing about “voter fraud” […]

Factchecking the Brady’s “Translation” of the NRA’s questionaire

Has there ever been a dumber Presidential team than these two? Also, noted shotgun expert Jon Stewart informs us there are no Beretta shotguns, which was quite the surprise.

Xrlq addresses the Obama Campaign’s threats on the first amendment: Apparently, it?s not enough for Barack the Bully to have the Washington Post, the New York Times, the L.A. Times Jake Tapper, Annenberg Political (humorously known as ?Factcheck.org?) and every other mainstream media outlet in its pocket. No, that?s not good enough; you got to […]

Seems FactCheck is feeling the hope and change. Or rather, they’re not fans of NRA’s ads that highlight Barack Obama’s record on guns. You would think that, since fact check is part of the name, that they would actually, you know, like check facts and stuff. But you’d be wrong. Tom (who still thinks I’m […]

Seems it’s not just the anti-gun folks who are guilty of it. As a side note, per a user comment (Egregious Charles, maybe?), I tried to categorize this post under “Flaming Bag of Poo,” but I don’t have permission to add new categories. 🙂 UPDATE: PolitiFact.com is even less kind to the NRA mailer — […]

Some mediocre political commentary. First, the Dems: Obama: Represents change. Yet, no one can tell me what he’s going to change. I mean, looking at the issues, it seems to be the same old pie in the sky that folks with Ds after their names have been pushing for years. Minimal specifics. Hillary: It’s probably […]

Bill Hobbs says Harold Ford Jr. Is a Liar. Yes, he is. But so is Bob Corker. B-Ho knows that. If cannot tell a lie was a requirement for office, we’d have no one in office.

In an update to this post on about neo-Nazi stuff at the Knob Creek shoot, the machinegunners respond over at subguns.com: Alot of the black and camo BDU and certainly Nazi paraphernalia would be better left at home, or better yet in the trash. Indeed. I do hate going to the gun show and seeing […]

In an update to the mysterious, time-traveling gun, KDT asked the press about their failure to factcheck and gets a response: You are right. The statistics are wrong and we are removing the story from our website. For what it’s worth, the number were cited by Queens D.A. Richard Brown at his press conference. The […]

Via Alphie, comes this post by TFS Magnum stating that the CDC should target dogs: If the issue was preventing deaths and preventing injuries to children, the CDC would be concentrating on the 400,000 injuries sustained by children from dogs. But that is not the issue for the CDC. The issue for the CDC is […]

Politicians are trying to scare. One example is the assault weapons ban. And they (and their cronies) are lying about it: FactCheck.org also cited examples of distortions used by Kerry supporters, including an ad suggesting that Bush opened America’s streets to gun-toting terrorists by failing to extend a ban on assault weapons. The ad, sponsored […]

So, I wonder how much bling bling Soros paid for factcheck.com? In other news, thanks to the various misspoken items by Edwards and Bush, Osama Bin Laden has legally changed his name to Saddam Hussein. Good move really, since Saddam’s in jail, no one will look for him now.
