The phrase "Zombie Lie" perfectly describes the "lies that won't die," like
The Dems blocked Casey from speaking a the 1992 Convention because he was pro-life.
Tax cuts raise revenue
Joe the Plumber is a plumber
But the latest Zombie Lie is really pissing me off, because it's so obviously an anti-union ploy and because it's been regurgitated by so many media outlets, including ABC.
From Media Matters:
ABC's Bury falsely claimed that "Ford, Chrysler, and GM pay union workers more than $73 an hour in wages and benefits." In fact, according to General Motors, the figure -- which GM puts at $69 per hour -- is based not only on current workers' hourly wages and benefits, such as health care and retirement, but also retirement and health-care benefits that U.S. automakers are providing for current retirees.
The best way to kill these lies is to let them know.
Go there and tell them off. You'll feel better.
