Facebook "friend" FAIL.

Post Number One (regarding the Romney video):

"The media makes Romney's video talking about legitimate statistics and campaign strategy sound like it's horrible, yet it's just facts."

Post Number Two (regarding Code Pink protests):

"From 2001-2008 there were 630 military fatalities under Bush and they protested the hell out of him. There have been 1,491 fatalities from 2009-2012 under Obama"

I guess 3,000+ fatalities in Iraq on Bush's watch falls out of the realm of "just facts"?



Sigh. And to think she was pretty cool in high school.

Just plain making shit up.

Only 620 military fatalities during the entire Bush administration? Who believes that?

The vast majority of people who were part of the peace movement under Bush have disappeared. Whether they’ve left because they want to leave it to Obama, and that they’re happy that he for the most part withdrew the troops from Iraq and they’re hoping he will do that shortly in Afghanistan, and think that the drones are an alternative to a broader war. Or it’s people who are excited about the Occupy movement and want to put their efforts into the first chance that they feel they’ve had in a long time to make some changes on the domestic front. Or they have been so financially devastated by the economic crisis that they really don’t have time to commit to these issues.
