Glenn Beck's Nine Lies


Lie 1: The health-care bill grants insurance for dogs.

Lie 2: Less than 10 percent of Obama's Cabinet appointees have any experience in the private sector. (Most of them do, to varying degrees.)

Lie 3: Mitt Romney government health care is now bankrupting the state of Massachusetts.

Lie 4: Forty-five percent of doctors say they'll quit if health care reform passes.

Lie 5: U.S. is only country with automatic citizenship upon birth

Lie 6: Labor union president Andy Stern is the most frequent visitor at the White House. (Glenn is using old data.)

Lie 7: John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, has proposed forcing abortions and putting sterilants in the drinking water to control population.

Lie 8: $1.4 million of stimulus money was used to repair a door at Dyess AFB. Actually, the doors repaired were aircraft hangar doors and the cost was not $1.4 million. The cost was $246,000 out of $1.4 million in repairs funding.

Lie 9: Beck warned people not to go on the "cash for clunker's" government website because there is a privacy act you have to agree to before you get your cash. The agreement is allegedly that the government can access your computer and get any information on you they want. This was a lie. The privacy act that has to be agreed to is on the site for dealers participating in this program, not citizens trading in their clunkers.
