The three biggest lies of 2010:
1. Tea baggers are good-hearted ordinary Americans.

Never mind the actual acts of terror against our elected congress people and their families. Ignore the Oklahoma Tea baggers forming a militia to oppose our elected federal government. Treason, turncoats and terrorists, that's what the Tea baggers really are. Far from salt-of-the-earth folks. Manure of the earth.

2. The Vatican's problems stem from the media and pope-haters.

The Vatican's problems are due to the fact that while they promised to be more open about the pedophile scandals, they were in fact telling priests and bishops that they must hide these atrocities. People are quite angry that after all that we've been through, the church remains more concerned about their own reputations rather than the victims or the truth. Worse, they're actually spinning this story. Sinead O'Connor may hate the popes, but does the Vatican stop to consider that it is a hate that they have earned? The Bible in fact says to hate what is evil. FU, Vatican and the four horses you rode in on.

3. Wall Street gamblers committed no crimes.

Almost daily, the corporate-owned media has told us this lie. We now now that they violated the Sarbanes-Oxley act which requires that Wall Street executives be truthful in their reports about company finances. Five years ago, we knew that the foreclosure crisis was major. Yet they hid the problem. Lehman actually had a Enron-style shell company to hide their losses. It's time for our government to prosecute the Fraud Street Felons. How much more of old people's pensions will we allow these criminals to steal?

3. I am amazed we think because we don't talk about them then ...
they will go away. You think because we don't talk about them that the media is going to follow our lead? Of course not. We have to shine light on them or else they will just go unchecked much like the Swift Boat attacks did with Kerry. Kerry thought that would go away if he ignored it, and low and behold it festered. While I know these people are not good for America, we can't just ignore them in this climate.

4. Teabaggers on socialist-care get promoted on CNN
even more than Fox, CNN is giving these phonies tons of promotion and on-air time.
