  Thing is, this has been proven false, time and again.

  This woman needs to be exposed more than she has. MMfA has done it's job as far as it can go I suppose but I fear there are far too many people not getting that message and believing her and the talking heads like Hannity. How does this get exposed to a much wider audience?
