In the last two weeks, I've noticed a new pattern to right-wing posts on Politico. In addition to parroting the Noise Machine, posters are now just making shit up, "complete" with links that DON'T support their position. This reminds of how Jiggles Limbaugh sometimes provides links that are supposed to support his agit-prop but in fact contradict his claims. Perhaps these posters think like Limbaugh and assume that no one will take the time to follow the link.
This struck me last night when commenter andylit insisted that the World Health Organization omitted private sector expenditures when calculating EU ountries per capita expenditures on health care. His point was that European countries are in fact paying a lot more than WHO states. His citation did not support his claim.
