many, many people didn't see the reference as a lie.

The lie was the claim of advocacy.

From http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/5/12/153908.shtml,
where the whole flap started:

Comparing Bush and his family to the Corleones of "Godfather" fame, Air
America host Randi Rhodes reportedly unleashed this zinger during her
Monday night broadcast: "Like Fredo, somebody ought to take him out
fishing and phuw."

[ end excerpt ]

This is both a misquote ("somebody ought") and a lie.

Funny how the lie made its way into the trades so quickly, to be repeated
over and over again before the truth could get its boots on.
