19. Found this on Snopes..

Sound’s right.. Politi-fact says one has to careful on all the fact checking sites.

But Fucking McConnel did receive aide from a charity.. Roosevelt’s charity.

9. I'm really sorry the turtle got polio but wish that his god was more just

Not that he and his ilk really believe in any god, but if there were justice....

14. Technically the claim is wrong

but McConnell and his party rail against the man and his policies who helped to found Warm Springs and they champion for-profit healthcare over non-profit healthcare.

Morally, McConnell is still a selfish hypocrite who's gotten his and screw everybody else.

With some re-wording, the OP would be spot on.

17. Check Snopes and Protect Your Credibility

If a claim seems incredible, check it out before you
post and protect not just your own credibility, but DU's.

[Skittles]

24. actually, the claim does NOT seem incredible, even though it is technically false

McConnell, like the rest of the Greedy Old Pigs party, has shown over and over that he is a CLASS-A ASSHOLE / HYPOCRITE

for example, Paul Ryan would love to trash Social Security even though his family benefited from it when his father passed

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. FALSE. Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence. Check first. . . . nt

[B2G]

12. I am so sick of this.

Let's toss any random shit at the wall and see if it sticks.

This does us no good at all. People start tuning out if we're only credible 50% of the time. And gives the other side ammunition.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Please self-delete the Original Post. . . . . nt

16. Kick

[hbhall]

18. Not true

As much as I dislike the man, this particular fact is not true...as stated earlier, find in Snopes.

[yuiyoshida]

20. Well of course, he is privileged

everyone else is NOT ENTITLED. Isn't that what they complain about? All these entitlements? Republicans think they should have them, and Democrats shouldn't have any.

Fuck you Republicans!

[Cal Carpenter]

21. Why would you leave this debunked claim up for 3 hours?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. Some posters post and run. I wish there was an Alert category "False information". . . . nt

[Vinca]

23. Are you sure that's Mitch the Turtle? He looks too much like a normal kid.
