Amazing how the view of Politifact shifts when the shoe goes onto the other foot. Just amazing. As if we are obligated to ignore the hyperbole from the left, if and when it is seemingly or really overwhelmed by the same or worse on the right.

Well I have no party ties, no need to pretzel twist. A lie is a lie is a lie.

“”They ignored the fact that the Ryan plan would not affect people currently in Medicare — or even the people 55 to 65 who would join the program in the next 10 years.

• They used harsh terms such as “end” and “kill” when the program would still exist, although in a privatized system.

• They used pictures and video of elderly people who clearly were too old to be affected by the Ryan plan. The DCCC video that aired four days after the vote featured an elderly man who had to take a job as a stripper to pay his medical bills.”“
