Counter-Trolling The Liberal Lies
Townhall.com ^ | September 21, 2015 | Kurt Schlichter

Liberals lie not only because the truth repels them like work repels a Democrat but because they hope to force you into accepting their lie and therefore becoming complicit in their deceit. Lying is an exercise of power; every lie we allow to pass uncontested is a small victory for these cultural trolls. Time to troll them right back.

Let’s start with the Texas clock kid lie. We all know that kid absolutely should have been confronted about his gadget, which would not have made it through a TSA checkpoint without a hundred government flunkies freaking out. Note that if there was an overreaction in locking him up, it was by other government flunkies – Barack Obama’s chosen people. This is why there should be many fewer of them.

But instead of blaming the zero tolerance-loving quasi-fascists who uniformly vote for him and his ilk, Obama could not pass up on an opportunity to demonstrate his contempt for the American people. He jumped at the chance to call his fellow Americans hideous racists, but that’s a lie.

Under the lie du jour, the alleged racist thought process must have been something along the lines of:

“Okay, this kid brought a weird, wiry electronic device into our school. Luckily, no one ever tries to hurt schoolkids, and certainly no Muslim male has ever tried or succeeded at going on a killing spree in Texas that I can recall. Now, from my extensive explosive ordnance training at schoolteacher school, I can see that this bundle of wires and circuits is clearly a clock, but since this kid’s ancestors came from some Muslim country, I think I’ll falsely accuse him of crime and take all the inherent risks of making a false criminal accusation because my senseless hatred is so intense, even though it has never manifested before this moment. ‘Merica.”

Hmmm. Sounds legit. Certainly more legit than, “I’m a not-to-bright government employee in an environment where freaks attack schools and this kid came in with a strange device and it got out of hand.”

Yeah, with Homeland Security still telling us, “If you see something, say something,” Obama’s meeting with his DHS secretary must be super-awkward. Maybe DHS could change it’s admonition to, “If you see something, say something, unless it’s a Muslim doing the something, in which case you’re rolling the dice because if you’re wrong President Fail and his MSM transcriptionists will call you a racist.”

In the aftermath, some people are saying this was a deliberate hoax by the family to create an incident, and if it was it succeeded better than they could have ever hoped thanks to Obama. Interestingly, you don’t have to be an Islamic mullah to fool Obama. Apparently, you can be a 14 year-old Muslim kid and make a fool out of him too.

The lesson for us? Reject the lies. After this lie came out, hordes of lonely liberals took to social media sharing their hitherto unknown expertise in the detection of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), toeing the Obama line that this was further evidence of America’s grotesque racism. But we normals fought back. Memes went up comparing clock brat’s creation with real bombs. Folks posted photos of various jihadi freakshows where they paraded kids around dressed as suicide bombers. Vets commented on how the “clock” looked a lot like the bombs that blew off their limbs. And moms observed that their kids’ lives were significantly more important than the feelings of some urchin who walked into a classroom with a beeping box of electrical components that would get him tackled by the Secret Service if he brought it within a mile of the Oval Office.

Oh, and folks started digging into the gadget itself, like how it was apparently merely a disassembled clock. Yah science! They also dug into the (Shocker!) activist history of the kid’s dad. Uh oh liberals, there goes your narrative.

We have seen a lot of liberal lies lately, which is not surprising since they have nothing left, and we’ve offered powerful pushback that frustrates and annoys them. In fact, it annoys them so much that Robert Redford just made a movie about the start of the pushback to the Big Lies. In what is apparently his first foray into science fiction, Dan Rather’s bundle of letters about George W. Bush’s National Guard service were apparently generated by a modern Microsoft Word program that traveled back in time to the early 1970s.

With regard to Hillary Clinton, you have her coterie of hacks piping up about how having classified material on your computer is no big deal and how everybody does it and blah blah blah. And in response, battalions of us who actually worked with classified material responded with truth – that anyone not useful to the Obama administration would be in an orange jumpsuit in about two seconds after doing one one-thousandth of what HRC indisputably did.

Damn that internet and its ability to allow the truth to get past the Democrat steno pool that is the mainstream media! No wonder Hillary is making a central plank of her platform changing the Constitution to allow her to make it a crime to be critical of her. As a result of all this freedom of speech, her favorability ratings are plummeting. Clearly it must be stopped; it’s so serious that the Democrats are starting to think Joe Biden is the answer to their problems.

But we aren’t going to stop. Conservatives released the videos of the butchers at Planned Parenthood doing exactly what we knew they were doing and the liberals freaked out. They particularly freaked out because Carly Fiorina used a CNN debate watched by 23 million Americans to talk about these sick, savage, baby-dismembering sociopaths. And their response was simply to lie – “None of the videos actually showed Planned Parenthood dismembering babies and selling off the parts!” Interestingly, their supporting argument is, “But there would be nothing wrong with Planned Parenthood dismembering babies and selling off the parts!”

Liberals count on people not actually watching the videos, and the MSM has cooperated by pretending that the revelation that an organization subsidized by taxpayers to the tune of $500 million is dismembering babies and selling off the parts is a non-story and not reporting it. But thanks to alternative media, we conservatives can direct normal citizens to the key clips. (Note: As of three days after the debate, the front page of Carly’s poorly designed website does not have a link to the video clips she cited in her devastating debate soliloquy. As a CEO, this is where you start demanding your staff get off their rears and start performing.)

Liberals have only lies and a complicit media. We have the truth and we now have the tools to fight for it. Every one of us – on social media, in personal interactions – needs to stop nodding along and start raising our voice. Troll them back with the truth.

I think the one that got me the most was MIT expressing an interest in a kid who can bust the case off a radio shack alarm clock and screw the remains onto a briefcase. Not that taking stuff apart isn’t a 13 year-old past time, but cmon... I think we all know his dad was behind this latest episode of southpark

Liberals lie because it is among the Ten Commandments which they habitually scorn (#9, "You shall not bear false witness").

Another one is #6, "You shall not murder". That one gets to the heart of the Planned Butcherhood wickedness and scorning of God's Law.

Counter trolling is a fine concept, a noble idea, but it's flawed and likely in vain simply because progressives want to believe what we see as lies more than they want to know the truth.
Once a lie has been accepted it becomes "truth" to those who find comfort in it's message; clock kid will find his place in the pantheon right along with Trevon Martin, "religion of peace", and democrat "transperincy".

It’ll really get interesting if that new Facebook “dislike” button deletes posts after 10 dislikes, as some are saying it will.

The political wars on FB will go thermonuclear. Expect to see Conservative attempts to spread the truth get attacked and removed in a highly organized manner.

We need to be ready for this. And to respond in kind.

But, general truth should by all means be propounded with no regard to how popular that is. Trump is pretty good at this, for one.

Like his lie about Walker's budget deficit? He has been corrected on the numbers repeatedly and simply ignores it.

Like Bret Bair remarked one day recently, "don't they(in this case HRC) know that we have video clips of them saying the exact opposite?"

We have a video clip of Obama clearly saying, "John McCain has never brought up my Muslim faith". If he meant to say he was Christian, why in the world would McCain make fun of his Christian faith?

I know they were talking on Fox News about the dislike button on FB, but so far I haven’t seen one yet

Oops!
sorry about the double ost...besides, I left Michelle's "glamor" and fashion sense out of the list of bogus leftist "truth".

If you were serious about truth yourself I would think you would provide a reference to what you are talking about.

And even yet I do not say perfect. Relative degrees of goodness are all we can see on earth short of God.

“So where did Trump pull out that $2.2 billion deficit statistic from? [smear snipped] It’s a projection from Walker’s own Wisconsin Department of Administration for the 2015 to 2017 budget period.”

http://race42016.com/2015/08/15/trump-lied-about-scott-walker/

Sounds reasonable enough... Trump wasn’t trying to flatter here. Even if this was a matter of an initial wish list budget, why did it have to start out that ridiculous? By caviling over quibbles, the point is missed.

And... I found a plethora of left wing sites talking about this, not a right wing sight that I could identify. Funny, given that a conservative’s ox got gored here.

The right wingers knew this was a misunderstanding at worst. The lefties bent themselves out of shape calling it a lie.

No, it's not. That was a wish list from a batch of bureaucracies infested with leftists. It was not the budget Walker signed into law after a string of line-item vetoes. Trump knew it.

“Trump knew it”

Not necessarily so. Trump notoriously doesn’t dig and that would be a most misleading factoid to get. Trump would do well to apologize for the misunderstanding, though.

One could still ask why he had to use the line item veto — why he didn’t negotiate a sane budget to just get his John Hancock upon (and that might be Trump patting himself on the back for how he cuts deals).

The conservative who was gored was Walker.

The right wingers knew this was a misunderstanding at worst.

Walker's people explained immediately what was wrong with what Trump was saying. Trump stuck with the charge at the second debate. Walker protested when he did it and was not allowed to elaborate.

Trump is a media creation. They protesteth too much, with crocodile tears while Trump portrays us as a bunch of buffoons.

What makes you think a guy who has employed thousands of maids, dishwashers, groundskeepers, and construction laborers is going to deport the scads of illegals among them and hire aging American welfare cases instead? The moment he starts, MALDeF sues, the courts step in, and all he has to do is raise his hands, immediately absolved of any campaign promises. You think a guy who's welched on his creditors repeatedly can't do that? It's astonishing how credulous his supporters have been to the point of willful blindness.

Homeland Security still tells us, “If you see something, say something,”

That way they know who is paying attention so they can be labeled enemies of the State later (if not right away).
