We've seen it since President's Obama's first day in office-a coordinated campaign of right-wing smears and falsehoods designed to line the pockets of the Republicans' buddies on Wall Street at the expense of the small businesses and working families on Main Street.

You can be sure the tea partiers and hand-picked right-wing media outlets won't hold their Faux News heroes accountable for their outrageous attacks and lies.
