Year-end whopper roundup

... from FactCheck.org.

  • Unionized auto workers at Detroit's Big Three make more than $70 an hour.
  • 3 million workers will be tossed out of work if aid is not forthcoming.
  • President-elect Obama wants to take away your guns.
  • Obama proposed a Gestapo-like civilian security force.
  • Congressional Democrats are planning to confiscate your 401(k).
  • House Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanded a 200-seat private jet to commute three times a week from her California district.
  • And Pelosi's husband owns a $17 million stake in a food company that she tried to help with an exemption from a new minimum wage law.

All untrue, nonetheless still reverberating in the right-wing echo chamber.

Sigh. Happy New Year, all.
