The lies of the Right

Crooks and Liars has a good rundown of the lies that surround the GOP's attacks on lower and middle class Americans, in the form of a number of clearly misleading and wholly inaccurate talking points. First among these is the widely held belief of Glen Beck and Newt Gingrich fans that 40-50% of all Americans 'pay no taxes'. Read the C&L post, as well as this one, which runs down the top ten lies that the right uses. It is the type of crap that the Teabaggers spew constantly, and it has absolutely no basis in fact.
