Herman Cain berates people that call for audit of FED.

STATES: NO NEED to audit FEd.

He’s a liar as last night proved.

That is an opinion he once expressed. How can an opinion be a lie? The lie is saying that he said he "opposed" an audit.

You know, context is everything. He also said that if someone wanted to they could. His reasoning, and remember he was about 20 years ago when the economy was much different. He also said there were all kinds of audits and they were pretty much useless. Thus, he doesn’t think it would be useful but wasn’t against someone doing one. It might just be, given the experience he had with useless audits, he has something more substantial in mind.

This gotcha stuff kills us every single time and all we have are ourselves. We don’t have a press willing to cover for us. Everyone is going to change their opinion, step over their words or forget what they said twenty years ago. These things are so much less important than issues and positions. And when one of these people is our nominee (it won’t be Paul), the press and the left (but I repeat myself) and the democratic machine will beat these things to death until the public starts to doubt everything about our candidate. We’ve GOT to focus on the things people care about put this petty stuff aside.

The thing about this story is that it is a half truth. When you listen to things in context it makes sense. When you pull a sentence out of context you can make it say what you want. That’s as dishonest as the “lie” you’re accusing Cain of. What the heck difference does it make if he gets the same stupid question over and over again and thinks a Paul supporter is following him around. How is that going to change ONE thing that matters. Convince people with issues not half truths.
