I think Strider has the right idea.

What ever happened to innocent until .....


Does "Shirley Sherrod" ring any bells?

Forgot about that one! I saw that a long time ago. That's a great movie. Along the lines of "Crazy People" with Dudley Moore, where telling the truth suddenly catches on and becomes hip. Netflix search time!

Cain is, at least in this instance, a realist.

According to Politifact, B.O. has broken 54 campaign promises.
Apparently marital fidelity has little, if nothing, to do with it.

It is germane to your assertion that Politifact has something relevant and useful to add to the discussion.

According to the logic of Politifact, if Republicans vote to defund the FBI, and instead give the money to citizens in the form of vouchers which could be used to purchase the services of vigilantes, body guards and mercenaries, and called the resulting program "FBI", the claim that "Republicans support ending the FBI" would be one of the 10 biggest lies of the year.
