Was Cheney "right" about FactCheck in 2004 VP debate?

Maybe Dick Cheney knew what he was talking about in last year’s vice-presidential debate. As Josh Marshall reports on Talking Points Memo, Fact Check, the purportedly nonpartisan political fact-checking group hilariously misreferenced by Cheney during that debate appears to be drinking from the Presidential Kool-Aid on the Social Security privatization issue, selling the Presidential line in attacking ads by MoveOn, for example, that claim Bush will cut Social Security.

Anyway, read Josh’s article for more, including the Republican National Committee new using FactCheck’s attack on MoveOn to threaten TV stations running MoveOn’s commercial with various legal possibilities.
