Challenging Republican Lies

We can’t keep letting Republicans get away with telling lies like this:

“Substantially it’s completely accurate,” Douglas said in his description of Dubie’s advertising and campaign statements.’

Dubie’s radio ad says:

Shumlin’s plan would turn drug dealers and child pornographers out on the street, long before their sentences were served.

Child pornography is considered a violent offense under Vermont law; therefore, Dubie’s ad contains a lie.  Shumlin’s plan deals with non-violent offenders.

This type of behavior needs to be pointed out.  Douglas can be expected to back Dubie, yet he should stick to the facts.  By not doing so, he is disgracing the office he holds.
