Sign number One -— He’s a politician
They forgot the obvious “tell”: “let me be clear.”
They identify themselves as liberal.
Dang man, that list looks like what I do every morning when I get up...

Everything I say is a lie, including this comment.
That inner sense in me is quite strong.Practical example...ever since he first hit the national stage whenever I saw his lips move I knew Osama Obama was lying.
the surest sign someone is lying is when you see Obama’s lips moving!
I ask what their political proclivities are. If they say they are liberal or Democrat, I know that is the last truth I can expect out of them.
I looked at the second sentence wrong...thought it said forensic proctologist.
5. They provide too much information.
[Ever notice how lengthy and rambling Obama’s responses to questions are?]
Their heads constantly swivel back and forth and they never look straight forward.
One of the chief lying news services tells us about liars. You can’t make this stuff up.
Thanks for posting the article.
The problem with their ‘rules’ are that no person’s behavior is absolute.
Anyone who has played poker at a professional or semi-pro level will use “false tells” to confuse their opponents. Once they feel that you have them figured out (or you them), they (or you) can make your move and walk away with the pot. The trick is that you have to be aware that they are setting up a pattern of false tells (lies) and use it against them. This is why poker is the absolute best game ever invented, IMHO.
Some people exhibit nervousness when having face-to-face conversations with someone they are not familiar with. For me personally, it makes me nervous when someone stares me directly in the eyes without blinking. It’s creepy.
A person may have physical problems that makes them cross and un-cross their legs, fidget in their chair, etc.
A person may cover their mouth when talking to an interviewer not because they are lying, but because they may be concerned about their breath or the condition of the teeth.
As I noted earlier, there are no absolutes.
The article didn’t mention “uh,uh,wait,uh,uh,let me tell you,uh,uh,uh,let me be perfectly clear,uh,uh,uh,the fact is,uh,uh.
Generally speaking, you’ve got to be acquainted with or at least have a passing familiarity with typical speech patterns and behavior of a person in order to detect a “tell.” The ones you need to worry about are pretty good at it. A stranger who is a poor liar can be identified as such fairly easily but a good one? Maybe, maybe not. Pay attention to your own gut instincts, a lot of it is subconscious, imho. What would be a “tell” for one person could be a nervous tic for another. There are few hard and fast rules that always apply equally, everywhere, to everyone.
Right. Speak slow, say a lot of umm’s and ahh’s ....
One sure sign for obastard.. his lips move.
