CNN Rebukes Guest for Calling Obama's False Insurance Guarantee a 'Lie'
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 11/05/2013 8:01:02 PM PST by chessplayer

CNN is still giving President Obama the extreme benefit of the doubt over his false promise that Americans could keep their insurance under ObamaCare.

The President added words to his promise on Tuesday, that Americans could keep their insurance "if it hasn't changed since the law passed." Anchor Ashleigh Banfield then suggested he call his initial promise an "oversight" and rebuked conservative guest Will Cain who called it a "lie."

"They did know," said Cain on Tuesday of the administration's foresight that millions would lose their insurance under ObamaCare. "It was not a mistake. It was a lie. You cannot portray this in any other way." Banfield shot back, "That's pretty strident language to say it was a lie."

"Why on earth isn't the President coming out, instead of tweaking the language, saying maybe this is an oversight and maybe this is a problem?" Banfield asked.

Bill O’Reilly won’t say he lied either.

I heard David Gergen call it a lie this week on PBS. But Diane Rehm let him get away with it.

Someone ought to tell O’Gasbag that Megyn Kelly is measuring his office for her new decor. She’s eating his lunch. He will be gone in a year! I loved it the other night when he cautioned Bernard Goldberg about calling FUBO an liar. Goldberg wasn’t having any of it, saying to him that he’d picked around the issue using every synonym for the word lie, so why not just call it what it is, a lie.

Bush never said there were Nukes in Iraq nor did he ever say that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11, another Lie that has been part of the talking points attacking Bush for the past ten years.

That’s what conservatives get for going on CNN and msnbc. If they’d stop going on those talk shows, including those on Sunday morning, they’d go out of business.

Well Missie, millions of people are losing their, insurance policies and their doctors. The very least that I can do is tell the truth. Something that you and Obama know very little about.

He lied about the lie that he lied about. It was a trifecta.
