Where mitt romney really thought he was going to nail the president on what the president said in the rose garden the day after the benghazi attack. you did not call it an act of terror. one of the things seeing the machinery at work there is we saw a lot of right wing pundits on twitter and other social media during the debate saying that mitt romney was right and citing right wing blog posts that asserted that to be the case about the presidents remarks. it wasnt true. it was a truth on the ri...

Credible. >> those six studies dont hold water. besides the blog posts, two of the studies had to change romneys tax plan to make it work. these arent the only numbers the romney camp is lying about. there was vice presidential candidate paul ryans claim about unemployment in the debate. >> you know what the unemployment rate in scranton is? its 10%. you know what it was when you guys came in? 8.5%. thats how its going all around america. >> rob portman was asked about it and he defended ryan. >...

For mitt romney so the lies are just piling up. this is their campaign. heres romney adviser ed gillespie trying to defend romneys tax plan. >> very questionable. some of them are blogs, some from the aei. >> these are very credible sources. >> one of them is from a blogger to george w. bush. these are hardly nonpartisan studies. >> if you look at harvard and other studies, they are very credible sources for economic analysis. >> you wouldnt say aie is a conservative think tank? >> its a right-l...

Conservative think tank? >> its a right-leaning think tank. that doesnt make it not credible. >> those six studies dont hold water. besides the blog posts, two of the studies had had to change romneys tax plan to make it work. these arent the only numbers the romney camp is lying about. there was vice presidential candidate paul ryans claim about unemployment in the debate. >> you know what the unemployment rate in scranton is? its 10%. you know what it was when you guys came in? 8.5%. thats how...

I have six studies that say im fine. those six studies for the record are not actually studies. two are blog posts by a conservative think tank. one is a report by a think tank. one is a paper by a former george bush advisor. and the others are a blog post and a "wall street journal" op-ed by a mitt romney adviser. calling those things studies is like calling me the homecoming queen. its very flattering, but come on. the romney campaign has been trying to wish away the math with this six studies...

Products. but blog posts, those are studies that prove things? thats hilarious. >> why doesnt the plan add up? why doesnt his so-called plan for america, the 20% cut, add up? wheres the flaw? >> well, it does add up for the very rich. if you listen very carefully to what romney always says, he says hes going to cut rates 20% and then hes going to see to it that those at the top dont pay a larger share of the total tax burden. well, that means that theyre going to get a huge decrease in their tax...
