Robert Reich: How Romney Gets Away With So Many Lies

Business Insider ^ | 08/29/2012 | Robert Reichhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Twerp speaks.

[circlecity]

"A half dozen fact-checking organizations and websites have refuted Romney’s claims that Obama removed the work requirement from the welfare law and will cut Medicare benefits by $216 billion."

Nonsense. A half dozen highly partisan organizations calling themselves "fact-checkers" have made the bald assertion that Romney's claim was false without providing a shred of evidence to back it up. That is spin, not a refutation.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Stand up Bob! Oops! Sorry. You are standing up.

[ilgipper]

Someone in prime time...maybe Ryan or Romney themselves, need to list the new ‘acceptable’ types of work that qualifies as a work. Many of them generate zero income. It is clearly meant to nullify the work requirements.

[popdonnelly]

Oh, please! The Democrats are the biggest bunch of liars ever to befoul American politics! And it starts at the top.

[facedown]

Those are strong words from the venerable Times.

lol

[popdonnelly]

I like the way Democrats accuse other people of what they do.

[Mr. K]

So we are relying on “fact-check” websites to find out if the pResident removed the work requirement from welfare reform?

Why not just look at THE ORDER HE SIGNED

[Puppage]

Oh, please! The Democrats are the biggest bunch of liars ever to befoul American politics! And it starts at the top.

Soooo, Al Gore did NOT invent the internet?

In the words of Felix Unger...."don't toy with me, Oscar."

[PBRSTREETGANG]

The “One-pound bag” speaks again.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I like the way Democrats accuse other people of what they do.

Yep. Projection is their middle name.

[wayoverontheright]

Pure, unabashed projection from the most haughty, smug little prick in the universe.

[theDentist]

F.O., short fry!

[griswold3]

I’m thinking I would do my best to qualify recipients “work” at activities like journaling, bed rest, massage or motivational reading, especially the reading part. I’ve got such a stack of books on my nightstand.

[G Larry]

Authorizing the STATES to REMOVE THE WORK REQUIREMENT, is not the same as Obama erasing it himself....doncha know....?

[IM2MAD]

Do you have a link to the order?

[LucianOfSamasota]

But a society without trusted arbiters of what is true and what is false is vulnerable to every lie imaginable.

And who are these 'trusted' arbiters? Are they infallible? Are they immune to human bias? Who 'chooses' the arbiters?

Its hard to see how Argumentum ad Verecundiam can be other than fallacious in the world of politics, where men of differing worldviews tend to draw divergent conclusions from the same data.

[going hot]

How can they remain effective when they’ve been so overwhelmingly discredited by the media?

BWAHAHAHAHA, snort, pause, BWAHAHAHA!

The media?

Which media?

The one operating in the US of A?

[snarkytart]

Yes and I’ve heard the libs say this gives states more control and flexibility, and hey that’s what the conservatives love: state’s rights.
See how they twist it?
