The Breitbart "fact checking" of Hillary's speech is one of the most pathetic things ever.

I'm not going to link directly to it (they don't deserve the exposure), but if you want to Google it, you can. I happened upon it while Googling.

Basically, there's no actual fact checking involved. Instead, it was all projection ("Hillary's the racist!&quot , minimizing (Trump may have "inadvertently" retweeted white nationalists, but he's on Twitter so much!), false reality (Trump never claimed that President Obama *literally* created ISIS!), ad hominem attacks (the Southern Poverty Law Center "has no credibility left&quot , diversion (As to the Trump-Pope feud....Catholic Democrats are in opposition to the Pope!) and general WTFery (Obama's the real bully!)


Oh, and all the links to "disprove"...yeah, they're all links from Breitbart.

It's well know that truth has a liberal bias.

not that I went to BB, I wouldn't. But that's pretty much what his surrogates and paid shills have been doing since the speech, diverting, obfuscating, etc.

They got nothing. We've been saying it all along, all we have to do is play back Donald own words. The "attack" ads write themselves.
