Nothing quite illustrates the flailing nature of the Romney campaign more than it's weak attempt to revive yet another tired old right wing talking point.
His opposition research people found some audio on which the future president said the word "redistribution", edited it, and fed it to Matt Drudge. Drudge, never one for responsible reporting, and clearly on board with the GOP, fed it out to the right wing blogoshere, where it quickly became today's talking point.
Of course it took only a few hours for the real media to fact check this, and expose the fact that what Obama was talking about in that video was not redistributing wealth, but redistributing government services so that they were apportioned evenly.
The Post gave it Four Pinnochios!
