Log of Liberal Lies

So what you meant to say was, Talk about anything other than Obama's or Romney's records,

those are the codes for the left and right, respectively.

Seems Obama has been the only president of the two so far, right?

So the reason that the right here won't talk about Romney's record, as you claim,

is because Romney's record isn't relevant?

lol. Dig that hole deeper.

deny the fact about Obama's record.

I'm still marveling at your claim that you've never seen any liberals on this forum talking about

the stimulus, the healthcare bill, the killing of Bin Laden, gays in the military, the 2010 tax bill, the end to combat troops in Iraq, the drone strike killings of dozens of terrorists, for starters...

Not one liberal here is willing to discuss any of those issues?

How many threads would you need to be referred to before you'd admit you're an idiot?

Stimulus? The one even Obama said didn't work all that well, seriously?
The healthcare bill in which nobody wanted and Obama isn't even running on. That's laughable...
Killing Bin Laden...I'll give you that ONE
Troops leaving Iraq on Bush's timeline? I won't concede that one to Obama.
Drone strikes killing terrorists? Instead of trying to capture and interrogate them...just kill them, hmmmm. Yet, he had a problem with waterboarding.
2010 Tax Bill....how about a 2010-2011-2012 spending budget?
Nope...nobody is talking about that.

The question is, back to the subject of the thread:

who are the liberals here who won't talk about Obama's record? Who? Name the names.

Um, Jillian - do you realize that you are embarassing yourself with how misinformed you are right now? Please allow me to enlighten you for just a moment about WMD's in Iraq:

1.) Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons against the Kurds in the north during the 1980's. So to claim he never had WMD's is simply crazy beyond words.

2.) A quick excerpt from the book "Seal Target: Geronimo" by Chuck Pfarrer: "It is a chilling fact that thousands of chemical weapons have been uncovered in Iraq. *These weapons have been used by Al Qaeda against coalition and NATO forces on dozens of occasions. *This has been confirmed by countless sources, most recently in the released WikiLeaks cables.

So why haven't the American people been told of the stock-piled caches of chemical WMD's uncovered in Iraq or of the chemical weapon attacks by Al Qaeda?

The Republicans won’t touch this because it would reveal the incompetence of the Bush administration in failing to neutralize the danger of Iraqi WMD (instead of preventing Weapons of Mass Destruction from falling into the hands of terrorists, the 2003 invasion of Iraq has accelerated the acquisition, manufacture, and use of chemical weapons by Al Qaeda). The Democrats won’t touch it because it would show President Bush was right to invade Iraq in the first place. It is an axis of embarrassment. *And the*press won't touch it because they had already convinced themselves, and most of the American public, that Saddam Hussein didn’t have any WMD's. *The media turned a blind eye to continued reports of chemical weapon attacks because its own credibility was threatened. Several major outlets were deeply invested with the story line of an “unjustifiable war". *Not many people can bear to admit they were wrong, especially in print, and especially if they have been very wrong for a very long time."

3.) A quick Google search of "Iraq WMD's" will reveal endless major media outlets acknowledging story after story of WMD's in Iraq. Here are just a couple, including extremely liberal biased news outlet NY Post and the radical left-wing propaganda machine, MSNBC:

See Jillian, you're not even slightly informed. You don't WANT to be informed. You just want to blindly pledge allegiance to the radical Commuinist left. And that's your choice. But when you comment on things you know nothing about, you lose credibility (not to mention respect) and nobody takes you seriously. Why don't you actually turn off the propagana from the left and actually learn the TRUTH? Is it that you're too afraid you'll realize you are rooting for the wrong team?

Ugg. How do you argue with someone like this? Even when Bush himself ended up admitting there were no "WMD"'s?

Answer - you can't. So ignore him.

Answer - you can't. So ignore him.

So the NY Post, MSNBC (the propaganda arm of YOUR party) and Fox News, and former Navy Seal Chuck Pfarrer are ALL lying, but now you suddenly believe Bush is telling the truth?!?! Wait a second, did you liberals accuse Bush of being a lying, theiving, dirt bag who was destroying the world with his secret agenda? And now all of a sudden, he is your "proof" that no WMD's existed, despite the fact that every single news outlet in the world has covered the story that literally thousands of cache's of chemical weapons have not only been found, they been used against coalition forces? You guys are just embarassing yourselves trying to deny that which has already been proven. You're the idiots trying to claim the earth is still "flat".

 

[P@triot]

Since Reagan GAVE those chemical weapons to his pal Saddam, that's STUPID. Of course we're talking about the "mushroom clouds" Condi was worried about, that horrible yellow cake that nobody really gives a damn about...

Do those black "racists" think whites are inferior and discriminate against them? Then that's another moronic theory for the dupes right up there with Hitler was a socialist, or just blatant lies like Obama had a supermajority for two years, or an out of power since 1994 Barney Frank caused the meltdown. Ignorant arrogant idiocy for dupes only.

Nice try - but the liberal spin machine doesn't work in the modern age of information. At no time did the Bush Administration specifically cite "mushroom clouds". They said "WMD's" over and over and their biggest concern was actually biological weapons, not chemical or nuclear, since those weapons can be smuggled and dispursed exponentially easier than nuclear.

Even when you're proven dead wrong in black & white, you liberals simply can't admit the truth, can you?

 

[P@triot]

Why does the right find it so hard to accept racism? Surely they live in the real world of lots of people, and surely they know bigots, racists, and other hateful sort of people? They are everywhere. Look at the racist comments on this site, or check out the tea party signs, or go to the local white mostly bar, and talk to the patrons. Wingnuts live in a bubble which it is hard to comprehend. The good thing about our news media is it doesn't give the rabid loony racist the bullhorn. But denying it exists is kinda stupid and ostrich like.

How Racist Are We? Ask Google - NYTimes.com

Does race matter? It sure as hell matters.

http://www.usmessageboard.com/the-f...fucking-bigots-doing-here-29.html#post3363885

The better question is, why does the left use racism as either a crutch (for the "woe is me crowd) or a weapon (for the angry, hateful crowd - which is most of the left)?

 

[P@triot]

The next time Obama tells the truth will be the first time in his life that Obama has ever told the truth.

While we could certainly go on all day and night (in fact, crash the servers) with all of the lies Barack Obama has told, my personal favorite (because, one - it is such a senseless lie and really illustrates that he lies so much, he can't even keep track of the lies, and two because it is so insanely easy to prove it is a lie) is this one:

Barack Obama: "This young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets and came over to this country. He met this woman whose great great-great-great-grandfather had owned slaves; but she had a good idea there was some craziness going on because they looked at each other and they decided that we know that the world as it has been it might not be possible for us to get together and have a child. There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't tell me I’m not coming home to Selma, Alabama. *I’m here because somebody marched. I’m here because you all sacrificed for me."

So what's the problem with that? *Well, you see, Barack "Habitual Liar" Hussein Obama was born in 1961. *The march in Selma, Alabama occurred in 1965. *His parents were having sex in 1960, 5 years before the march.*

And folks, besides the exact quote above that you can google for the speech transcripts, here is the actual video of Obama saying these words. *Don't even attempt to deny it, because you can't:

Talk about anything other than Obama's record. That is the left's code for this election cycle.

or we could tell lies about the teatards in the house not intentionally sabotaging our recovery.

or the wingers in the senate not filibustering everything.

but if enough rightwingnuts say it, it must be true, right?

How many republican bills have been shelved by Reid in the Senate, Jillian?
I see a politics for what it is...devisive these days.

Reid should make a deal with the repugs to put their issues on the floor right after they deal with all the bills and issues the repugs have filibustered.

 

[P@triot]

Stacked up, Barack Obama's whoppers would make even Bill Clinton blush. Here's a sampling:

Lie No. 1: Obama has repeatedly claimed his white grandfather, Stanley Dunham, "fought in Patton's army," when he was a clerk with no combat in WWII.

Lie No. 2: Obama claimed Dunham, a communist sympathizer, signed up for duty "the day after Pearl Harbor," when in fact he waited six months.

Lie No. 3: Obama claimed his father "fought when he got back to Kenya against tribalism and nepotism, but ultimately was blackballed from the government," when in fact he fought against capitalism and lost his job when he advocated communism.

Lie No. 4: Obama has claimed his late mother's health insurer refused "to pay for her treatment" for cancer while citing a "pre-existing condition," when Cigna paid all her hospital bills and never denied payment.

Lie No. 5: Obama claimed he and a black high school friend named "Ray" were ostracized in Honolulu, when in fact the friend, Keith Kakugawa, was half-Japanese, and neither of them experienced discrimination.

Lie No. 6: Obama claimed the father of his Indonesian stepfather was killed by Dutch soldiers while fighting for Indonesian independence, when in fact the story turns out to be "a concocted myth in almost all respects," Maraniss found.

Lie No. 7: Obama claimed his parents decided to marry in the excitement of the Selma civil-rights march of 1965 — and that he personally has "a claim on Selma" — when in fact they were married several years earlier.

Lie No. 8: Obama claimed his father got to study in the U.S. thanks to JFK's efforts to bring "young Africans over to America," when in fact the Kenyan airlift his father participated in occurred in 1959 under Ike.

Lie No. 9: Obama submitted a phony bio to his book publicist claiming he was "born in Kenya."

Lie No. 10: Obama denied being a member of the socialist New Party, when a member roster of the Chicago chapter of the party lists him joining on Jan. 11, 1996.

Lie No. 11: Obama claimed he had only a passing acquaintance with Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, when in fact they held a fundraiser for their Hyde Park neighbor in their living room, and years later, while Obama served in the U.S. Senate, hosted a barbecue for him in their backyard.

Lie No. 12: Obama claimed he never heard Rev. Jeremiah Wright spew anti-American invectives while sitting in his pews for 20 years, when in fact Obama was moved to tears hearing Wright condemn "white folks" and the U.S. for bombing other countries and even named his second book after the sermon.

Lie No. 13: Obama claimed he got in a "big fight" with old white flame Genevieve Cook, who after seeing a black play asked "why black people were so angry all the time," when in fact she never saw the play nor made the remark.

In both his autobiographies, Obama paints a false portrait of a still-racist America and West, where he, his friends and relatives are victimized by that racism. Conveniently, his remedy is redistributive justice through bigger government.

When is a billion dollars not that big of a deal?

Only the lying liberal could take a BILLION dollars of OUR money, unconstitutionally spend it, and then try to make the case that a billion dollars is not that much money. It's astounding how much lying these people do. I don't think they could tell the truth if you offered them that billion.

Typical spin (ie blatant lie). Under Obama, unemployment has done nothing but climb higher than it ever was under GWB. The idiot liberals want to celebrate the "4 million jobs created" while ignoring the 5 million jobs lost under Obama, for a net total of 1 million jobs lost under Obama.

Only the idiot liberal could celebrate the jobs "created" while ignoring all of the jobs that this idiot lost America because of his reckless spending, stifling regulations, and anti-business rhetoric and policies.

 

[Billo_Really]

National Security is a direct benefit to all American's

So you're saying a country we bombed back to the stone age, with barely any running water or electricity, 9000 miles away with no navy, is a threat to a country with the most technologically advanced military the world has ever seen?

A country that can only generate 9 hours of electricity a day, is a threat to a country that is capable of killing the entire population of the world 37 times?

How big of a threat can you be on 9 hours of electricity a day?

My security was not in any danger whatsoever, yet you spent a trillion of my god-damn tax dollars on the other side of the planet! Thanks for fuckin' up this country!

Anyone who says Iraq was a threat, is either a fuckin' liar, or the biggest pussy on the planet!

 

[P@triot]

So lets get this straight - Barack Obama unconstitutionally spent tax payers money to ensure his cronies in the unions would continue to be lavished with the very same compensation packages that caused the companies collapse in the first place?

At the same time, not only did this action break his promise to end pandering to special interest groups, but it exponentially weekend our economy by ensuring a bad company would continue while punishing better run companies (GM's collapse would not have created a vacuum - people who previously drove GM's would not start walking to work - so their business would have shifted to better run automobile manufacturers, who - with the additional customer base, would have needed more employees to meet the demand - and those employees would have had better job security working for a stronger company). This is why capitalism in it's purest form is a juggernaut of success, while idiot liberal policy like Obama's collapses nations.

And yet they managed to take over Kuwait and develop WMD's, all while only having "9 hours of electricity".

By the way, since you're crying about fighting, I'd say it's pretty clear you're the real pussy here. Anyone who cries like a little bitch about a fight - whether it's a fist fight or a war - is the pussy. Cry about the money if you must, but don't cry about the fighting, it makes you look like a really big pussy.

By the way stupid, Al Qaeda operated in caves in Afghanistan with exactly 0 hours of electricity per day, and managed to kill 3,000 Americans in about 2 hours on September 11, 2001.
