The Lie of Modern "Centrism"

[Tino]

Gee, and here I am going by information I'm getting from some fly-by-night media source like the Washington Post. But of course you already knew that because I'd linked to that article earlier.

Here's a snipet from that article if you don't want to click the link (bold emphasis mine).

In short, the Janesville shutdown commenced in June 2008. Once it was clear that aid wasn’t forthcoming in November, actual assembly lines were being shut down by December. It is true that Paul Ryan tried to get the Obama administration to save another plant, in Kenosha, which the Obama administration failed to do. Attacking Obama for that is fair. But hitting him for Janesville is dishonest. The first assembly line stopped rolling in December 2008. Workers unfurled banners declaring the “Last Vehicles Off the Janesville Line” at a “final goodbye ceremony,” The plant was closing regardless of what Obama did.
This is a very strange dispute, in a way. Mitt Romney wrote an op-ed in the New York Times under the title “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt,” and now his campaign is trying hard to fault Obama for not bailing out automakers aggressively enough. Not only that, but after the campaign’s repeated denunciation of the Obama administration for “picking winners,” Ryan is faulting Obama for not “picking a winner” not just among companies, but among plants. He’s attacking Obama for not using the government to micromanage GM’s affairs.

I'm sure your sources are far more reliable than The Washington Post. Feel free to link to those sources when you can.

More of Ryan's lies to come as I wade through more of his speech...

You accepted liberal-leaning sources as your fact checkers and you were mislead by them. When I heard the accusations that Ryan had lied about it I looked into it myself, and as mentioned above, went to the local paper. The Gazette paper reported on the activity at the GM plant as it was happening, in 2008 and 2009, before anyone knew this would be an issue. Yes I consider this a more reliable source than the left-leaning Washington Post's story three years later when it knows the story is a controversy. Here is a link to one of many articles that discuss the plant closing in April of 2009, months after Obama has taken office.

Please retract your statement that Ryan lied about this.
