I looked up the Citizens United case on wikipedia and it read exactly as I remembered it. You never explicitly stated the common misconception or the actual facts of the case, so I'm curious: What specifically were you talking about in that paragraph? What falsehoods do large numbers of people apparently believe about Citizens United?
What I've often heard are things like it created corporate personhood, let people companies donate unlimited amounts directly to campaigns, or (at least slightly closer to the truth but not quite there) said "money is speech."
