Announcing Scapequote - the Fun New Game of Intentional Misrepresentation!

After the success of Haik U Glenn Beck, which raised awareness around the outrageous claims of Glenn Beck, Jewish Funds for Justice decided to up the ante.

You've probably noticed that Beck isn't the only Tea Party leader who makes ridiculous claims; he's not the only one who misrepresents his opponents to score political points. So we have to ask: do you think you can tell the difference between a real, ridiculous statement from a Tea Party leader and one that some random person made up?

We're betting you can't. Today, Scapequote.com launches. At the site, you'll be presented with four quotes, only one of which is real. Pick the right one, and you move up the leaderboard. Pick the wrong one, and the person who made the quote up gets a point. You can submit your own quote, too. (Pretty much anything including the words "socialism" and "birth certificate" will seem believable.)

Let us know what you think. We're excited about using this site as a fun way to raise awareness around a real issue. And stay tuned for further announcements about our efforts to increase awareness about the Tea Party.
