Michele Bachmann: Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire
A refresher on Michele Bachmann's outlandish claims about the U.S. Census, ACORN and her family withholding information from the government can be found here.
Politifact has weighed in on Ms. Bachmann's nearly incoherent ramblings:[L]et's count the ways Bachmann is wrong:
Why is it that I'm not completely surprised?
ACORN will not be "in charge" of going door-to-door and collecting data from the American public, as Bachmann said. The U.S. Census will be in charge of that. Some of the 1.4 million people who get Census-taking jobs may learn about the job through ACORN. Workers who apply to the Census through ACORN have no better shot at the job than those who apply through any of the 30,000 other partners. That's it.
And despite Bachmann's claim, ACORN gets no money for signing on as a partner.
Once again, she is making a scaremongering claim about ACORN with facts that are ridiculuusly [sic] wrong. So we have to set the meter on fire once again.
