Last month it was 10 out of 25. In May, the wingnuts upped their output to 14, with 4 of the "boozles" aimed at immigrants:
No. 3 Arizona Rest Area - 2007 photos of backpacks and clothes discarded by immigrants crossing the border. Rated as TRUE
No. 5 Welcome to Calexico - photo of American flag flown upside down under Mexico's flag during 2006 high school immigration reform rally. Rated as TRUE
No. 20 Mexican Standoff - Charlie Daniels' screed about how undocumented immigrants are criminals. Rated as CORRECTLY ATTRIBUTED
No. 24 Shoplifting Drops During Boycott - alleges crime dropped duing 2006 retail boycott sponsored by Hispanic immigration reform protesters. Rated as FALSE
Three of the 4 are recycled from 2006-07. Too bad Snopes' simple rating scheme doesn't account for misleading time frames, distortions, and hatefulness (No. 3 photo precedes Obama; No. 5 Mexican flag was flown ONCE in 2006).
