My comment lists some of the lies she’s been promoting:
She *knows* that quoting from a movie isn’t plagiarism, she *knows* that Cruz didn’t insult Trump’s wife, she *knows* that Cruz didn’t cheat in Utah, she *knows* that Cruz didn’t blame Trump for the Brussels attacks, and so on. And yet she is driven to dismiss truth and promote lies in an effort to support her candidate.
I’m fairly certain that you can’t read minds.
She posted an article, Theo.
So, it is not her making a lie, or something you think is a lie, it is the AUTHOR of the article.
But you called her a liar, and not the author.
That is just plain wrong.

Bears repeating- It’s called bearing false witness- I don’t use the term lightly as many people abuse the term and apply it to situations when it shouldn’t be- but what we are witnessing on FR lately is exactly that- bearing false witness- (and yes, when one keeps posting smear articles that are known to be false, one can’t claim innocence when it’s clear the intention is to smear)
bearing false witness is an attempt to destroy someone by lying about what they say or do- by manufacturing faux outrage for the sake of tearing down someone they disagree with- Or even contributing to an atmosphere of vitriol by constantly posting smear articles based on lies EVEN After Ted has come out and explained he did not infact do the things he’s being accused of-
Like you say- passion for a candidate is fine- but when it devolves into smearing the opposition by bearing false-witness- that’s hitting below the belt-
