Lies, Damn Lies, and Liberal "Facts"

[PoliticalChic]

1. Ever hear this quip? "93.6 % of statistics are made up on the spot."
Not only is it the aim of Liberals to silence any views to which they object, but they have no compunction about producing phony facts and statistics that support their ideological goals.




The bogus rape statistics in support of the "rape culture" meme have pretty much been refuted...but how about the "domestic abuse" stats?

“Disturbingly, intimate partner homicide is the leading cause of death for African American women ages 15 to 45.” Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.,speech at domestic violence awareness month event, Oct. 19, 2009

Guess what? Just like Obama's "1-in-5 college women raped" claim.....it's another 'Liberal fact' that's entirely made up!




"....this fact was proven wrong, and yet at least two of Holder’s speeches referring to this “fact” remained uncorrected on DOJ’s Web sites, year after year..... Eric Holder’s statement deserves a ‘four Pinocchio’ rating (a ‘whopper’) for ‘undermining our democracy’ with false information [as per Mark J. Perry, an economics professor at the University of Michigan-Flint and a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute].

... Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data show that, for the year 2008 (the year before Holder’s speeches), cancer, heart disease, unintentional injury and HIV/AIDS all topped homicide.

.... this all started with a 1998 study by the Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics, titled “Violence Against Intimates,” that examined the data concerning crimes committed by current and former spouses, boyfriends and girlfriends. The most recent data in the study were collected in 1996.

The study does not say that intimate-partner homicide is the leading cause of death among African American women; in fact, it makes a key point that the rate of such murders had dropped dramatically." Holder’s 2009 claim that intimate-partner homicide is the leading cause of death for African American women




Bottom line: 'Liberal facts' such as this are designed to perpetuate the myth that everyone is a victim, needing big government to protect them.




2. "...Holder's patently false assertion has remained on the Justice Department website for more than a year. How is that possible? It is possible because false claims about male domestic violence are ubiquitous and immune to refutation.

During the era of the infamous Super Bowl Hoax, it was widely believed that on Super Bowl Sundays, violence against women increases 40%. Journalists began to refer to the game as the "abuse bowl" and quoted [Liberal] experts who explained how male viewers, intoxicated and pumped up with testosterone, could "explode like mad linemen." During the 1993 Super Bowl, NBC ran a public service announcement warning men they would go to jail for attacking their wives.

... one lone journalist,Washington Post reporter Ken Ringle, checked the facts. As it turned out, there was no source...
["93.6 % of statistics are made up on the spot."]

.... the story has proved too politically convenient to kill off altogether." Domestic violence myths help no one - USATODAY.com



The lying and dishonesty isn't surprising.....
......how many accept the propaganda, is.

Guess what happens if you go to the DoJ website and read Holder's speech?

You find this at the end of it:

"PLEASE NOTE : These remarks, as originally delivered in 2009, cited a statistic naming intimate partner homicide as the leading cause of death for African-American women ages 15 to 45. This statistic was drawn from a range of reputable sources, including a 2003 study by the National Institute of Justice . However, recent figures indicate other causes of death—including cancer and heart disease—outrank intimate partner homicide for this age group."

You are a liar.

Creepy.

The Vols lost to Oklahoma......time to beat the wife.

They love this stuff......everywhere there are big government devotees...

So, the Eric Holder tall tale about 'intimate partners slaughtering African American women has been proven false.....but....

3. "Last summer, it came back to life on a different continent and with a new accent. During the 2010 World Cup, British newspapers carried stories with headlines such as "Women's World Cup Abuse Nightmare" and informed women that the games could uncover "for the first time, a darker side to their partner." Fortunately, a BBC program called Law in Action took the unusual route pioneered by Ringle: The news people actually checked the facts. Their conclusion: a stunt based on cherry-picked figures.




But when the BBC journalists presented the deputy chief constable, Carmel Napier, from the town of Gwent with evidence that the World Cup abuse campaign was based on twisted statistics, she replied: "If it has saved lives, then it is worth it."

It is not worth it.



Misinformation leads to misdirected policies that fail to target the true causes of violence. Worse, those who promulgate false statistics about domestic violence, however well-meaning, promote prejudice. Most of the exaggerated claims implicate the average male in a social atrocity. Why do that? Anti-male misandry, like anti-female misogyny, is unjust and dangerous. Recall what happened atDuke Universitya few years ago when many seemingly fair-minded students and faculty stood by and said nothing while three innocent young men on the Duke Lacrosse team were subjected to the horrors of a modern-day witch hunt."

The American version of " the exaggerated claims implicate the average male in a social atrocity"?

It's called "The War on Women".....another of those 'Liberal Facts.'

Well then we conservatives should have no problem in saying liberals/progressives are racists in that they support Planned Parenthood which as the
leading exterminators of the black community: FACT:
Obama/Hillary/most progressives support Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in America.
The nation’s largest abortion provider maintained its infamous title, performing 333,964 abortions—a record for the organization that received 45 percent of its revenues from taxpayer-funded government sources during the 2011–2012 fiscal year. According to analysis by the Susan B. Anthony List, Planned Parenthood has performed almost 1 million abortions in the past three years alone.
Planned Parenthood Sets Record for Abortions and Government Funding

So with 333,964 abortions a year by PP, AND 35% done to blacks, that means PP cleansed the population by over 116,000 blacks babies.

78% of their clinics are in minority communities. Blacks make up 12% of the population, but 35% of the abortions in America.
Are we being targeted? Isn't that genocide? We are the only minority in America that is on the decline in population. If the current trend continues, by 2038 the black vote will be insignificant. Did you know that the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a devout racist who created the Negro Project designed to sterilize unknowing black women and others she deemed as undesirables of society? The founder of Planned Parenthood said, "Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated." Is her vision being fulfilled today?

So that makes all liberals/progressives as ethnic cleansing of the black population.

This is why I call bed wetters "NO INFORMATION" voters.

As I explained in wrongwinger's thread, "low information" voters who get their political influence from celebrities and other pathetic sources are a different category than the "NO INFORMATION" democrooks who obviously endeavor to shut down the dissemination of information.

 

[PoliticalChic]

The same sort of self-serving totalitarian government myth pops up elsewhere:

4. "Worst of all, misinformation about violence against women suggests a false moral equivalence between societies where women are protected by law and those where they are not.
American and British societies are not perfect, but we have long ago decided that violence against women is barbaric.


By contrast, the Islamic Republic of Iran — where it is legal to bury an adulterous woman up to her neck and stone her — was last year granted a seat on the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defended the decision by noting Iranian women are far better off than women in the West. "What is left of women's dignity in the West?" he asked.

He then came up with a statistic to drive home his point: "In Europe almost 70% of housewives are beaten by their husbands."



That was a self-serving lie. Western women, with few exceptions, are safe and free. Iranian women are neither. Officials like Attorney General Holder, the deputy constable of Gwent, and the activists and journalists who promoted the Super Bowl and World Cup hoaxes, unwittingly contribute to such twisted deceptions.
Victims of intimate violence are best served by the truth." Domestic violence myths help no one - USATODAY.com



The same sort of lies from Obama, Holder and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ....and for the very same reasons!



And Iran's biggest backer?
Barack Hussein Obama...peace be on him.

Interesting connections, huh?
