The Huffington Post published a story by Amanda Terkel which purportedly showed that the daughter  of the lesbian mayor of Houston, Annise Parker, was denied a driver's license because she has two moms. The story included a tweet from the mayor claiming this as the cause for denial.

Unfortunately for the mayor, an update to the story proved her to have been lying about this incident. First let us look at the initial Huffington Post article in which the daughter of the mayor was supposedly subjected to discrimination due to having two moms:

All liberals are of their father Satan. The truth is not in them. They have been given over to depraved minds.

The fakehatecrimes keyword makes for fascinating reading.

Usually, the libs I catch in a lie say something like; “Well...when Bush was in office he did X.”

The ole moral equivalence as a defense. It is designed to put the person on the defensive by changing the object of the discussion to something or someone else. If they manage that, they win.

Somehow I expect a lawsuit after the fact because DPS revealed “private” records of a licensed driver... kinda like how the mayor’s inclination as a clamlicker is also a “private” matter.

She is allowed to lie, she is a Lesbo.

Yeppers... I have several ways to respond. One of my favorites is: So, your argument is two wrongs make a right? LOL!

Can’t get through a day without claiming their misfortunes are the result of some conspiracy against them. It’s a whole lot like claiming that Brown and Martin were killed just for their ethnicity.

After episodes like ferguson, why take victim claims at face value?
