Will SOMEONE please give Ron Paul back his MEDS

Have any of you checked out "The Fact Checker" with the Washington Post and what do you think?

Interesting that the VERY first "fact check" fails to mention that 83 of the 84 ethics charges were DROPPED.

Democrats accused Gingrich of violating tax laws by misusing tax-exempt groups for political purposes. The allegations centered on Gingrich’s teaching of a videotaped college course called “Renewing American Civilization,” which Democrats claimed he put together with improper help from his congressional staff, and which they said he illegally supported using tax-deductible charitable donations to meet “political, not educational” objectives. In the end, 83 of the 84 charges were dropped. He was reprimanded for making misleading statements to the committee, and he paid $300,000 to offset the cost of the investigation. He accepted the committee’s findings as part of the agreement.

The last charge which was NOT dropped, he was guilty of. He used his CLASS to teach conservative ideas. HOLY HELL.......throw the book at him, Take him out back. SHOOT him in the head.

I love how your fact checker is very, VERY PARTISAN.

I will check my OWN facts, thank you.

I do not think that I held claim to him anywhere in my post! I only asked if you had checked him out and what you thought.

Newt is not the only one that he writes about and I do not think that he paints a very nice picture on any of them but then I have not read him regularly.
