O'Reilly Nabs Howard Dean For Lie On Jon Stewart Show

Busted.

- May 2006 -

 

Props to Bill O'Reilly for nabbing DNC chair Howard Dean for a lie he aired on last night's episode of the The Daily Show With Jon Stewart (Mon. May 15, 2006) (video at Expose the Left). Said the daffy Dean:

"Here's the big difference between us (the Democrats) and the right-wing bill that passed the House with the President's support: This is a President who can't find a six-foot-four Saudi terrorist. How's he gonna find 12 million undocumented people and send them all back across the border? That's what he wants to do."

Of course, as Bill pointed out in his "Ridiculous Item of the Day" tonight (Tue. May 16, 2006), President Bush has never advocated finding and "sending back" illegal immigrants. The President made this perfectly clear in his address last night:

"It is neither wise, nor realistic to round up millions of people, many with deep roots in the United States, and send them across the border. There is a rational middle ground ..."

The President does not believe what Dean claims the President "wants to do."

Of course, not surprisingly, Stewart did not correct Dean on his falsehood.
