Plouffe: We expected aggressive Mitt, not 'fundamentally dishonest' Mitt

Top aide David Plouffe suggested on Thursday that Team Obama was caught off guard by the "remarkable" level of "dishonesty" displayed by Mitt Romney during the debate.

~~SNIP~~

"Going forward, one of the things we're going to have to address is that dishonesty," Plouffe said. "It's hard to remember a time in American politics where you had someone who's a major nominee for the presidency being that fundamentally dishonest about core parts of his campaign platform."

So many “lies” and Obama couldn’t pick out a single one during the debate. Hmm.

Of course, these kind of “help the prez” articles are the ones actually filled with the lies.

I’d pay good money, and throw in a body part or two, to see a video of Obama’s inner circle discussing last nights disaster.

Well then your memory must be truly awful. One only needs to recall the Dim nominee just four short years ago.

That these people are so predictable does not make them any less detestable...

Hello, Mr. Pfluffle, it was a debate; if Mr. Romney said anything that was untrue it was up to Obama to refute it then and there. Instead he stood by in a daze while Romney told the country flatly that Obama was going to cut $700billion from Medicare, didn’t even know the law regarding shipping jobs overseas, and was telling untruths about Romney’s tax plans - and O said nothing.......

They’re going to use “framing” to try to create the impression in the minds of “low-information voters” that Romney told nothing but lies during the debate, that this is commonly known by all the “smart people,” and that Romney’s performance therefore means nothing.

This is kind of like what they did with the word “swiftboating.” They - and their media enablers - have tried to turn that word into a synonym for “successfully undermine by lying.”

George Lakoff (rhymes with).

Now the leftist freaks I know will start telling me Romney is “dishonest” and pretend that they thought of it themselves.

All Romney has to say all day is “Look up the facts for yourself”

Liars calling him a Liar are very stupid. If there is one thing America wont buy is that Saint Mitt the Bishop (yes he is an actual Bishop in his church) is a liar- but Mitt needs to STRESS THAT All day

Make the contrast with Obama obvious- “ONE of us is a liar, alright...” and leave it at that

This will embed the impression Mitt is Honest and Obama AND HIS ENTIRE CREW are lying a$$holes.

How can you take any accusations or threats seriously when they are made by a guy(?) name Plouffe?

The Left is free falling, like always when their theft and failed racial and economic ideas reach reality.

Plouffe, Yahoo! and the rest of the MSLSD complex are freaking out...

They know there will be a fight they might lose, but don’t forget the Bulge when we thought the Nazis were about to surrender.

This line of spin, clearly coordinated based on the numerous leftist media outlets running with it, can be effective and worries me. Many of the sheep want to hate the rich White Guy, who they believe has ill-gotten wealth. This meme gives them cover — “He’s a lying rich White Guy. It might look like he beat our man, but only because he’s duplicitous.”
