'Not even close to what he said': Daily Kos pushes bogus smear against Paul Ryan

Garbage is right:

Paul Ryan slams Obama for being 'distracted' by murdered children https://t.co/jpnSJHUkIs

— Markos Moulitsas (@markos) January 7, 2016

Is that so, Markos?

That's not even close to what he said, you dishonest POS. https://t.co/zxewV502sP

Indeed. According to the post, written by Laura Clawson:

Ryan, who has dismissed Obama’s executive orders as a “distraction,” said the public should be discussing how to defeat ISIS instead.

“What I think he’s trying to do is distract from basically his failed policies,” Ryan said of Obama.

That pretty much disproves the headline, no?

The best part is the number of people replying to and linking those tweets believing Ryan actually said that.

Reading is fundamental. And evidently, it’s also very difficult for some people:

@markos @djrothkopf The takeaway is republicans have much more important things to worry about than murdered children.

@markos, @SpeakerRyan isn't troubled walking on the beach,
passing dead child's body. That include aborted fetuses, too?

@markos Unlike Paul Ryan, who cares nothing for murdered children, but cares everything for Koch and NRA $$$$$.

Fortunately, not everyone fell for Kos’ crap:

@markos You have very bad reading comprehension. He said the guns laws, which would've had zero effect on Sandy Hook, were a distraction

@markos @LauraClawson you misunderstood & have twisted his point either through incomprehension or spite. Neither is helpful in the debate.

@markos Journalism 101: When you write a headline it should have something in common with the story #KosPropaganda

— Elise StefaniKKK, Low IQ Human Scum (@TinPotDickTator) January 7, 2016

@markos did the Daily Kos remove the quote where he actually said that from the article? Or are you just making up dumb shit for clicks?
