The Gingrich lie on Mondale and Social Security. "It turns out that Mondale did actually co-chair a commission organized by the Center for Strategic and International Studies which did endorse moving 'social protection schemes from pay-as-you-go to market-based financing.' That was the majority report. But Mondale, the report's executive summary says, 'and six co-signers also released a separate statement dissenting from the Commission's pension recommendations as they applied to Social Security in the United States.'' So, in other words, Mondale specifically said the opposite of what Gingrich said he said. "So Gingrich lied when he attacked Mondale for supporting Social Security privatization – a policy which Gingrich himself of course does support but refuses to acknowledge its name." It's surprising that Gingrich wasn't more careful on something so easily checkable. washingtonpost.com
