I just saw one of Meg Whitman's hit pieces on
Edited on Sat Jun-26-10 10:27 PM by Cleita
Jerry Brown. It was half-truths, twisted truths and out and out lies. For instance, the commercial claims that Jerry Brown inherited a surplus and turned it into a deficit. The truth is that Jerry Brown created the surplus, had to spend a lot of it to continue social programs after Proposition 13 defunded everything but he still left the state in good shape when his term was up. The problem, to the uninformed is this commercial is slick and could be plausible. She has to be stopped by grass roots or something.

Gawd! I hate her!

On edit: Here's a link to her disgusting commercial and other hits on Brown: http://www.jerryfails.com/

Challenge to DUers to debunk all of this.

1. Jerry Brown has won more elections than Whitman has voted in
One of his spokespeople said that, in reference to her habit of consistently failing to vote.

If she is able to buy the election the job will destroy her like it has destroyed der titzengroper.

I wouldn't want her to win but it would be fun to watch this mean spirited physically unattractive excuse for a human crash and burn.

Unfortunately she'd take the rest of us down with her.

2. Unfortunately, you are right. We can't afford
another Arnold. She has to be stopped.

3. FactCheck.org has done it so we don't have to
http://www.factcheck.org/2010/07/jerry-brown-a-legacy-of-failure/

The ad claims that "crime soared" while Brown was mayor of Oakland. That’s false. The total number of crimes actually went down by more than 13 percent.

Also false is the ad’s claim that Brown "damaged the school system so badly the state had to take it over." As mayor, Brown had almost no control over the school district, which was run instead by an elected school board.

A charge that Brown "lobbies for a corporate polluter" is highly misleading. Brown wasn’t a paid lobbyist. The claim is based on a phone call he made for a past campaign contributor, and it had nothing to do with pollution.

The ad claims Brown worked to "send California jobs to China," but that’s unproven. The claim rests on an 18-year-old newspaper story that Brown strongly denied.


So how can you tell when Meg-abuck$ is lying? Easy. Her lips are moving.
