We all know facts have a liberal bias, so it would make sense that conservatives would not do any fact-checking.

[xadam2dudex]

these people know it's all a lie but they do this to incite their base and to muddy the waters of government...social chaos is one of their weapons to push their agenda or establishing a plutocracy by discrediting the government and policies so to empower the right wingers into tearing down the framework of government even against their own interest

[willia3r]

Sound more like the "Legion of Doom" on "Superfriends".

[Sandra McGee]

Re-puke-a-thugs are always making stuff up. This is NO exception. Because Hagel goes against the grain & has a brain, they don't understand that kind of thought process.

[Sandra McGee]

Republicans making up stuff, say it isn't so..... lol - liar, liar, your underwear's on fire.

[TheRhinehart86]

Nah, when a right-winger shit talks its freedom of speech. When anyone else talks shit about right-wingers they get banned and sued. Dont you know anything about American politics? :P

[Zakdayak]

SPECTRE + KAOS!!  LOL!!!!

[brandnutopian]

I was making shit up and to that end I was highly factual about my fabrications. 

[Bolgernow]

in all fairness; Ben Shapiro, Joel Pollak & Breitbart dolts are all lying hateful partisan turds

[MrOttopants]

Yeah, you tell him. That annoying voice leads him to getting voice acting gigs on major network television. It's a plan to get all TV viewers to take their own lives. Don't watch it, you won't be able to stop yourself!

I'm a member of the Friends of Hamas, but only to get a good deal on radical dogmatic bullshit.

[John Warner]

And the guy at Breitbart doesn't care because he has moved on to making other unfounded allegations against other people.
