Die Associated Press macht den Factchecker nach den Reden auf dem Parteitag der Republikaner:

„FORMER ARKANSAS GOV. MIKE HUCKABEE: Palin “got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States.”

THE FACTS: A whopper. Palin got 616 votes in the 1996 mayor’s election, and got 909 in her 1999 re-election race, for a total of 1,525. Biden dropped out of the race after the Iowa caucuses, but he still got 76,165 votes in 23 states and the District of Columbia where he was on the ballot during the 2008 presidential primaries.“

Und wer gestern keine Lust hatte, sich die gesamte Daily Show anzugucken, hier nochmal mein persönlicher Lieblingsausschnitt. Hat auch was mit Fakten zu tun.
