Right-Wing Radio Supports Schaffer’s Iraq Resolution
July 17, 2008 by James Hipps
Co-hosts Dan Caplis and Craig Silverman uncritically allowed Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Schaffer to mischaracterize a 2002 resolution that his opponent, U.S. Rep. Mark Udall (D), introduced in advance of the Iraq War as one that Udall offered “to declare war on Iraq.” Additionally, they did not challenge Schaffer’s false claim — made in comparing Udall’s resolution to the one Congress adopted, H.J. Res. 114 — that the “only difference between the two was that the use of force resolution didn’t specify Iraq and Udall’s still did.” Get the rest of this at colorado.mediamatters.org.
