Maher: Obama’s Dishonesty Was ‘Within the Normal Parameters’ – Trump’s Isn’t
Breitbart ^ | 1-27-17 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 01/28/2017 8:19:09 AM PST by afraidfortherepublic

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that untrue statements by President Obama were “within the normal parameters” while President Trump’s aren’t.

Maher began by saying, “We just can’t have a country ruled by what the president believes.”

Later on, Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist stated, “Obama said, repeatedly on the campaign, not once in a tweet, but again and again and again in speeches, that he was never going to raise taxes on anyone who earned less than $250,000 a year. That lasted 16 days, before he did.”

Maher responded, “Okay, but that’s within the normal parameters of what politicians do. Saying you see 3 million people that don’t exist is not.”

So tell us Billy Boy, what are the “normal parameters” for politicians to be dishonest. You schmuck.

“If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.”
Result: millions of people lose the doctor they like.
Judgment: Normal politicians say this stuff.

“You will save $2500 from your current healthcare costs.”
Result: Many people see healthcare costs go up 500%
Judgment: Normal politicians say this stuff.

“I will build a wall.”
Result: Begins building a wall.
Judgment: Lies like this cannot be tolerated in a society that isn't controlled by Democrats.

The sorry thing is that Maher is smart enough to know that he spouts lies, but spouts them anyway. He’s as dishonest as Obama really is and more dishonest than he claims Trump is.

I have an idea. Let’s poll the swing states and ask if they’d vote the same way again and get approval polls of everything DJT has done so far.

If we took the time to list all of the lies that Obozo told us, I’d be dead before the list was complete. Further, it your boy was so honest, why was he the first President in the history of this Republic to sequester virtually everything from his and Michelle’s past? You don’t do that unless you have something to hid. Go crawl under your rock and think about it.

Maher needs to prove that NO voter fraud happened in 2016.

I can give you a list of parameters:

1. Any lie told by a liberal or leftist is “within normal parameters”.

2. Any lie told by a conservative is “outside normal parameters”.

3. Any truth told by a conservative is redefined as a lie, and rule #2 is immediately in force.

4. Any truth told by a liberal or leftist is undefined (like division by zero) as no such case has ever existed or likely ever will exist (although such a case is theoretically possible).

He can’t. There’s at least one county (I think in Michigan) where more votes were cast than there were voters registered.

Bill Maher, dumb as a post, morally bankrupt to the core, but within the “Normal Parameters” of the Entertainment Industry.

"Maher: Obama’s Dishonesty Was ‘Within the Normal Parameters’ – Trump’s Isn’t"

The "oh, well that's different" excuse.
I think a good chunk of people in the US have had their bellyful of hypocrisy, and that type of an excuse is not going to wash (not that it ever really has).

So Bills rules of lying are: if it matters, you can lie. But if its about something stupid, that it out of bounds.

"Maher responded, “Okay, but that’s within the normal parameters of what politicians do. Saying you see 3 million people that don’t exist is not.”"

And if an investigation does find numbers close to that, will you eat crow (literally) on live TV? I'll even supply the crow.

“untrue statements by President Obama were within the normal parameters”

Is this an alternate fact?
