How do you tell when a liberal is lying?

When their vertical and have a pulse!

[Grampa Dave]

She sort of has the Kerryesque jutting chin thing going on too. Coincidence or another telling, common denominator?*

*It would be interesting if possible to check her DNA with another horse face, our lying SOS.

I've been listening to podcasts of Tucscon talk radio (one of our Milwaukee gems has a show out there now) and apparently McCain has been astro-turfing his town halls by filling them with the same group of pro-war Syrians, who he just happens to call on each time.

they get up, FACE THE AUDIENCE, and make an "impassioned" plea for the US to intervene.

[Grampa Dave]

Yep.

The hair on the back of our necks and arms probably stands up in some ancient dna memory re survival, when ever we hear/read anything from these liars.

[Mygirlsmom]

When they're vertical and have a pulse!

When they're not they stop lying but they don't stop voting

… O’Bagy and her op-ed drew scrutiny last week when the Wall Street Journal failed to disclose O’Bagy’s ties to an advocacy group backing the Syrian opposition and lobbying the US government to intervene in Syria

News Corp.(wallstreet journal, FOX News) Saudi bias on display

... . The second-largest holder of voting stock in News Corp. is Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal,a nephew of the Saudi king. link

She looks a bit like Sandra Fluke.

Sandra Fluke is a slut!!

Contrast the quality of those who won our independence & then set up our Constitutional Federal Union with the caliber of those who are destroying it both domestically & by pursuing alien wish lists overseas! The contrast is as great as that between those who built Rome & the Caligulas & Neros.

The idea of such mentally & ethically deficient dolts as McCain, Kerry & Obama, squandering American lives & treasure in overseas adventures, is just plain sickening.

Read how much clearer, more moral & more relevant today, was George Washington's understanding or how Foreign Policy should be managed. (George Washington's Answer To George W. Bush on Foreign Policy.)

So, to paraphrase Woopie, this may not have been a "Lie, Lie", but more of a fib? It's hard to keep it all straight.

When someone says that they have a Phd, I always thought that they had a Phd. If they didn't have it, but were only working at it, they they didn't have a Phd.

Silly me for thinking that.

[JoeProBono]

Like!

maggief--- ping-a-ling!

Worse, she lied about her affiliation with FSA and about the composition and character of Syria's rebel forces---and pushed her "research" about the "moderate" rebels all over Washington.

Much info on this thread

[Dysart]

Betwixt this and one Bret Stevens’ wrongheadedness on Syria, the wsj has gone astray lately. For shame.

[Red Badger]

When they are horizontal and have no pulse they are still ‘lying’ are they not?.........

[nikos1121]

Is this the Gal who was on several talk shows tv and radio who spoke with conviction that she had been to Syria and knew first hand that there was a moderate rebel force there, who we needed to help?

I listened to her, and must say she convinced me for moment there, that maybe people like McCain and company were right.
At least a year ago.

She says now that the force are ex soldiers,over 100,000 strong.

[jmaroneps37]

She's a Democrat so they will try to say “What difference now does it make? Proving O’Bull shiite is a liar never fed a hungry child?” but it does make a difference.

She’s a Democrat so they will try to say “What difference now does it make? Proving O’Bull shiite is a liar never fed a hungray child?” but it does make a difference.

[Billthedrill]

Well, yeah, it's a fake degree, but it's a fake degree from a really good college.

[factoryrat]

Did you issue voter’s cards for the city of Chicago by chance? I think they use the same qualifiers for voting.

[BuckeyeTexan]

The second-largest holder of voting stock in News Corp. is Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, a nephew of the Saudi king.

Not anymore. Southeastern Asset Mgmt is the second-largest stockholder. Murdoch owns 39%, Southeastern owns 12%, and bin Talal owns 6.6%.

[chesley]

Do liberals EVER tell the truth?

The short answer is 'no'.

The long answer is 'Hell, no".

I hope this clarifies matters? :)
