The report has been officially released

And if you want to read it, you may do so here. This includes the two dissents by the Republican/Teabagger members. The dissent by Peter Wallison dredges up the old lie about mortgages for poor people being responsible for the crash. This only serves to highlight the sad fact that the Republican/Teabagger dissents are there to try and cover up the crimes of their friends and contributors.

Whether you read the full report or just the news stories available, you will find that no one involved is spared condemnation. The commission did a good job with what they were given.

The dissent by Peter Wallison dredges up the old lie about mortgages for poor people being responsible for the crash.

This lie has been debunked so many times, officially and unofficially, yet the righties keep repeating it. And it's that way with everything: even though we know that trickle down economics doesn't work and the Laffer Curve is a lie and tax cuts DON'T create jobs and there are no death panels in the healthcare reform law and giving the top 2% a tax cut WON'T cut the deficit and regulation DOESN'T stifle innovation, they just keep repeating these things over and over again.

It's really quite amazing.

Whereas the left addresses the issues and points the right raises about its policies and ideas, the right just sorta has earplugs in "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU," repeating their same tired old canards over and over again.

It has to be part of their approach, the whole "repeat it often enough and people will start to think it's true" strategy.
