In press statements issued on June 29 and July 2, 2012,
the DCCC made unsubstantiated allegations that attacked Sheldon Adelson, a supporter of the opposing party.
This was wrong. The statements were untrue and unfair and we retract them.
The DCCC extends its sincere apology to Mr. Adelson and his family for any injury we have caused.
wait what? thats not Fox.

They apologized retroactively

OMFG! That's as bad as claiming that Obama is not a US citizen, or that he is a Muslim.

According to a letter from Adelson's lawyers, a copy of which was posted online by the Las Vegas Sun,
the dispute with the DCCC stemmed from two statements issued by the Democratic group,
the first of them on June 29 under the headline:
"Breaking: House Republicans' Biggest Donor Approved `Prostitution Strategy' in China."
The statement said that Adelson "personally approved of prostitution
and knew of other improper activity at his company's properties in the Chinese enclave."

The DCCC attributed the claim to the Associated Press.
The AP reported June 28 on an allegation by a fired executive for Adelson's company, Sands China Ltd.,
who said in court papers that Adelson had approved of "a prostitution strategy" at the properties.
This sounds as if AP should have made the retraction, if it's not true.

I am sickened-- Spexxvet, the hatemonger, states that our peaceful Muslim brothers of faith are as repugnant as a pedophile!

That's exactly right. Some right-leaning person posted a link of Facebook saying that the criticism of Romney 'undermines the Republic'. So saying bad things about a candidate who currently holds no office 'undermines the Republic', but making a significant minority of the country believe that the current President and Commander-in-Chief is illegitimate is OK?

Let's face it, that "significant minority" (ie tea bag fanatics) willfully believes that anyone to the left of Mussolini is an illegitimate, evil Sikh who opposes the flag, apple pie, and Mom. Not to mention the right of all large financial institutions or other giant corporate entities to lie, steal and be bailed out by the American working man (and woman) with not a single CEO never ever being held responsible. It's the American way after all. No one ''makes" this lunatic fringe believe anything. They've known it all along.

Pssst! Not only is the President illegitimate, he's a colored man.

It seems like Romney is running on little else than rich people pay enough taxes and repeal Romney Obamacare. That being the case, his tax payments or lack thereof are open season. I'm no Harry Reid fan but he is playing this exactly right.

Umm...sorry for the misunderstanding. I was being tongue-in-cheek about Reid.
