      I think conservative talking heads could think up a diabolical purpose for the distribution of government cheese. I wouldn't trust any of them telling my kid a bedtime story.

      Here's a fact check for the clip of the guy referencing the "final solution"

      The phrase "final solution" was first described as "the final solution to the jewish question." In fact, the terminology was never used in reference to anything else. And the term came about in 1942, several years after large scale euthanasia had begun.

        Why let facts interfere with his 'perfect' comparison. Judging from looks of it the audience was probably made up of a bunch of baby boomers.No surprises that they would go to excesses huh?

      About time for their so-called 'fact checking' at ABC tonight. What's funny too is that MSNBC (Rachel, Ed, and Keith) were the "ONLY" Shows "debunking" the Republican Talking Points for the past three months. Hmmm, wonder what made ABC do their 'fact checking' news story tonight? Oh, that's right President Obama's TownHall Meeting tomorrow. LOL.
