New York Times: Obama 'Misspoke' About Keeping Healthcare Plans
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/03/2013 4:31:53 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

MISSPEAK 1: to speak (as a word) incorrectly 2: to express oneself imperfectly or incorrectly [e.g., claims now that he misspoke himself]

In an editorial of today, the New York Times couldn't bring itself to say the simple truth: that President Obama lied when he repeatedly assured Americans that, under Obamacare, if they liked their healthcare insurance policies they would be able to keep them. The most the Times was able to admit was that [emphasis added throughout] "Mr. Obama clearly misspoke when he said that." Misspoke. Yes, of course. As you see from the Merriam Webster definition above, the word does not imply any intent to deceive. Indeed, as in the example Merriam Webster offers, to misspeak implies a lack of intent.

The editorial gets worse, as you'll see after the jump.

Oh Bravo Serria!

The Emperor has been trained in two different, but related, professions to be an expert in the English language!

As a lawyer, his sole source of income was his exact use of the English language. Outside of Hollywood have you ever seen or heard of a lawyer who had problems with the English language. That, the use of the English language, is the ONLY tool that a lawyer has to food on his table and clothes on his back!

As a politician, the same rules apply. Most sitting politicians don’t perform any kind of labor. Those that do are almost immediately attacked by their contemporaries. Why? A politician that actually works is an extreme threat yo the other, non-working, politicians.

So, how could a man (forgive my use of that adjective) who has spent his entire adult life manipulating the English language for his personal benefit misspeak?

The LIBs/DIMs are insufferable. My only hope is that Justice will find each and every one of them. Liars. Degenerates. Procurers of societal and cultural filth.

so are they admitting that Bush43 “misspoke” in his famous 16 words claim? I didn’t think so.

I swear sometimes when seeing this fool and his Wookie all dressed up and jamming on the WH lawn in a tent wit his famous black homies partying that I’m watching an MTV
Cribs rerun with Jayzee or Whodat.

If he misspoke, he misspoke with the exact same statement dozens of times.

If he misspoke, then he is the most incompetent President of all.

“It’s going to take a few years until all this will settle down, and we go to a single payer system. All it will take it’s a congress with fewer republicans and by the way it acts it’s coming in the near future. I agree that Obamacare is not all we want, but it’s a foot in the door.”

He misspoke dozens, possibly hundreds of times ...

How many times does one have to repeat something in order to change the definition of 'misspoke' to 'blatant lie'.

p.s. notice how much JoeB enjoys hearing someone lie ....

Being “misspoken’ hundreds of times is what we call lying and spreading propaganda.

Liberals need to stop pissing on our legs and telling us it is raining.

Hayek observed first-hand the Planners in Nazi Germany, and said that the truth is the first casuality.

It’s beyond time for a real oppostion party to call out that the New York Times, WaPo, ABC, etc, are propaganda arms of the Democratic party. With a calm but firm voice, they need to reject them and to inspire voters to reject them and think for themselves.
