The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is encouraging members of its email list (4 million strong) to join a “Fact Check Fox” campaign today, letting them debunk/get debunkings of Fox News spin on the State of the Union. According to DCCC spokesman Ryan Rudominer, it’s a bow to the response the committee gets when going after conservatives.
“We saw our membership go through roof when Palin made her death panel smear,” said Rudominer. “Now that she’s actually on Fox as a pundit, it’s even more of a reason to swing back.”

The email:
“„Thank you for renewing your 2010 membership in the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

“„Because of your dedication to the DCCC, I am personally inviting you to join our State of the Union “Fact Check FOX” Team.
