Colbert Rips Santorum On Lie About California Colleges

Even though the truthiness factor of "California hating America and therefore doesn't teach American history" certainly feels spot-on, the facts don't quite line up. "The only thing that would be outrageous would be if this were true," Colbert said, before rolling a clip of the chair of the history department at Cal State East Bay expressing confusion of why Santorum couldn't simply look up the course catalog online before spewing such misstatements. In fairness, Santorum may not be particularly keen on Googling things.

should be all over it. If Obama ever said anything so patently untrue and easily debunked, you can bet we'd be hearing all about it. Santorum and the Wall Street Journal out and out lie.....crickets.

He should have been shouted out of the race for calling the President a "government nig...". We all know the rest of the word he tried to cut off as it was halfway out of his mouth.

But the corporate "liberals" at the top of the "liberal media" have chosen to keep him in the race.

Which is why he's losing the GOP primary to the slightly less radical idiot, Romney. Romney is still rotten meat...don't get me wrong.
