Media Matters Tells It Like It Is

Media Matters on Horowitz: Proven liar Horowitz said Media Matters ignores the facts.

Damn Liar, Damn Straight.

A few choice Horowitz lies documented by Media Matters (there are so many, it's hard to pick):

Horowitz claimed that during a debate more than 30 years ago on The Dick Cavett Show, Kerry indicated he "basically was happy to see" the communists win the Vietnam War. Kerry said nothing of the sort. In fact, a December 12, 1971, Boston Globe article quoted him expressing exactly the opposite sentiment: "I don't like Communists. In fact, I hate them. I hate all totalitarians. I'm totally dedicated to representative, pluralistic, free democracy." (8/3/04)

Horowitz falsely claimed that liberals "have a big problem" with those who have faith and believe in God. As Media Matters noted at the time, various polls show that liberals do have faith and do believe in God. (5/4/04)

Can you guess the percentage of Democrats that say that religion is "not at all important" in their daily life? 9%, baby. A Godless bunch, those Democrats. I mean, don't get me wrong: we here at Age of Reason are pretty godless. But most Dems are people of faith, which makes Horowitz a liiiiiiiiiar.
