The scope of the lying from Ken Mehlman’s RNC on this immigration stuff really almost defies belief. I’m genuinely curious if any talking heads are going to call them on it. We’ll be bringing you a bit more info on this shortly. But basically you have a bill that a Republican chairman introduced and one that was passed overwhelmingly by Republicans. Now the GOP is trying to find a way out from under their screw-up which they’re afraid is going to damage them grievously at the polls among Latinos. So they’re saying the Democrats are for making illegal aliens felons when they were the ones against making it even a misdemeanor. Mehlman’s committee is running these ads. He was on CNN last night preening about how everyone knows how ethical he is and today he’s caught in a flat out lie.
Note to Ken: If you run the ads in Spanish, it’s still a lie.
Late Update: Here’s some more on just the caliber of lies we’re talking about.
