Walker 50+% False PolitiFact Ratings

[Originally posted, Monday, 5:30 p.m.]

Actually, the correct number is 60%+. My first draft was from memory, and written on a smart phone!

Regardless, his record as documented by PolitiFact is definitely a recall frame - - In February of last year year I said Walker had forfeited the moral authority to lead, and I think his actions and truth-or-falsehood scorecard, as vetted, bears that out:

Here are the facts:

• True6(6)
• Mostly True4(4)
• Half True6(6)
• Mostly False7(7)
• False17(17)
• Pants on Fire (3)

Tally so far: 16 at some level are true - - but only six are completely true, including the last gimme about the makeup of the State Flag (LOL), and 27 are false at some level, with 20 false or pants on fire false.

I've been tracking his PoliltiFact record for more than a year, and the national media has taken not of Walker's problems with truthiness - -which I'd argue began with his holding back his plan to wipe put public sector collective bargaining, then dropping the bomb on state, local, county and school board employees. (Tape and transcript of Walker's "dropped the bomb" remarks, here.)
