Barack Obama is "in favor of a bill to fingerprint every American in this country and have a national fingerprint database." In fact, the bill to which DeLay was apparently referring would require employees of banks that apply for "licensing and registration as a State-licensed loan originator," as well as individuals who apply for licenses, to submit fingerprints to "to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and any governmental agency or entity authorized to receive such information for a State and national criminal history background check." http://mediamatters.org/items/200806120007 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 19:06:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801100002 On MSNBC, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay told Chris Matthews that if Barack Obama wins the Democratic presidential nomination, "we'll get to talk about what change means when Obama is president of the United States. Change isn't exactly what I think this nation wants to go -- surrender the war on terror, more taxes, more spending, bigger government." Matthews did not challenge DeLay's comments. The next day, a <em>Washington Times</em> article quoted DeLay smearing Obama as a "Marxist." http://mediamatters.org/items/200801100002 Wed, 9 Jan 2008 19:50:13 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200711300009 On <em>Hannity &amp; Colmes</em>, Tom DeLay claimed that the questions asked during the November 28 CNN/YouTube Republican debate "were nothing but gotcha questions with a liberal bias," and that "there was no gotcha questions like these" during the July 23 CNN/YouTube Democratic debate. Co-host Sean Hannity asserted, "Now I don't remember seeing Republican questioners at the Democratic debate. Do you?" But several questions from the July 23 Democratic debate could be classified as Republican "gotcha" questions, and the <em>Los Angeles Times</em> reported that a "review" of the Democratic debate found that "[a]t least two of the citizen-interrogators had clear GOP leanings." http://mediamatters.org/items/200711300009 Fri, 30 Nov 2007 17:53:01 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710040015 Tom DeLay claimed that "[a] few days back," Rush Limbaugh "and a caller were discussing Global War on Terror critics who have either exaggerated or entirely invented their military and combat service in order to bolster their credibility" when Limbaugh referred to "phony soldiers." In fact, during his September 26 broadcast, Limbaugh did not restrict his comments. DeLay also falsely claimed that <em>Media Matters </em>was "George Soros-funded." http://mediamatters.org/items/200710040015 Thu, 4 Oct 2007 18:45:22 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708310007 Discussing whether Sen. Larry Craig will resign following his guilty plea for misdemeanor disorderly conduct, Tom DeLay falsely claimed that Mark Foley "resigned from Congress because the Republicans demanded that he resign from Congress," when sexually explicit Internet messages he had sent to former congressional pages became public. In fact, Dennis Hastert stated in October 2006 that "Foley resigned almost immediately upon the outbreak of this information, and so we really didn't have a chance to ask him to resign." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200708310007 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 19:04:02 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707250005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707250005 Wed, 25 Jul 2007 12:24:20 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703230009 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703230009 Fri, 23 Mar 2007 17:08:55 EST
