Seen particularly egregious Republican spin lately? Post it here!
Mine: From a Republican emailing list, "From the Donkey's Mouth:"

Traditional Marriage Mean-Spirited: ""This < the Defense of Marriage Act > is an unconstitutional, unprecedented, unnecessary and mean-spirited bill." John Kerry in debate before DOMA was passed

Yes. Of course. That is exactly what Kerry said: That "traditional" marriage is mean-spirited. Whoever chose & spun this little snippet is an idiot.

Okay, line 'em up, folks! Let's hear yours!

1. Republican Big Issue is a waste of time
Watch the people be whipped into a lather by this Psych-Ops. Man can those highly paid think tank chimps come up with stunningly useful garbage just in time for "04 or what?

3. More generally right-wing than specifically GOP, but...
...one of the talking points that keeps showing up is the notion that Bush's Air National Guard issue has been unfairly raised by the mainstream media while they have unfairly ignored the Matt Drudge/tabloid story claiming that Kerry had an affair with Alexandra Polier. The RW is royally ticked off that The Washington Post hasn't devoted loads of space to this.

Naturally, we at DU are aware that the National Guard story was the subject of an investigation from a reputable newspaper AND first broke FOUR YEARS AGO but didn't become a major issue in election 2000.

Anyway, this has to be a talk radio/Internet talking point for the RW.

4. The all-time most repulsive Republican spin
"The votes have been counted, and recounted, and recounted again..."

and its corollary:


"Machines don't make mistakes when they count, but people do."
