I kid you not. I just read this at FoxNews.com. Wow! The article starts out by saying it can break Paul Ryan's speech down to three words. When I saw that the first word was "Dazzling," I thought, oh here we go. It's going to be a glowing review of the speech that Paul Ryan gave before the GOP convention tonight. But then I got to the second word describing the speech: Deceiving!



On the other hand, to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention to facts, Ryan’s speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech. On this measure, while it was Romney who ran the Olympics, Ryan earned the gold. The good news is that the Romney-Ryan campaign has likely created dozens of new jobs among the legions of additional fact checkers that media outlets are rushing to hire to sift through the mountain of questionable statements that flowed from Ryan’s mouth. Said fact checkers have already condemned certain arguments that Ryan still irresponsibly repeated. Paul Ryan’s speech in 3 words

The article then goes on to actually provide fact-checks about the lies Ryan told in the speech. The third word?And then the article goes on to describe all the things Ryan didn't talk about like abortion, a his votes for under George Bush and wanting to privatize Social Security. Wow! Somebody pinch me. I think I've just entered the twilight zone.

And Fox News wasn't the only news organization to call out Paul Ryan for his lies. The top article at Google News is a post by Jonathan Bernstein for The Plum by Greg Sargent at The Washington Post. Bernstein too lists a litany of the lies that Ryan told tonight, ending the post with this observation:



But really, the proper response to a speech like this isn’t to carefully analyze the logic, or to find instances of hypocracy; it’s to call the speaker out for telling flat-out lies to the American people. Paul Ryan has had what I’ve long thought was an undeserved good reputation among many in the press and in Washington. It shouldn’t survive tonight’s speech. Paul Ryan fails -- the truth

In other news today, the Obama campaign introduced this new online video just in time for the Ryan speech tonight.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan Would Take Us Back—We Can't Afford That

Perhaps the GOP was looking to build a Mitt Romney reminiscent of a bygone era. If that's so, this video produced by the Obama Campaign for web sharing in the style of the old black and white newsreels they used to show at the movies before television was a household item does a much better job of defining the Romney-Ryan ticket.
