re: #8 Charles Johnson

That one really irritated me, because it was such a blatant inversion of the truth. Obama was actually expressing a very positive idea about the American system of government, and it was perverted into a paranoid attack that made no logical sense.

A portrait of the Republican Party in 2012.

“You didn’t build that.” could be read a number of ways, whereas the “Jeeps made in China!” ad could only be read as a lie. It’s status as a lie is undoubtable, and that’s likely why it won.
