p.s. It's going to be a rough election season with the right-wingers lying every chance they get!

(10,103 posts)Doesn't look or sound like it, and if Romney's bain capital buddy's book is any indication, they even lie to themselves.

It's the media's responsibility to expose these lies IMO..., but unfortunately the media whores are drooling to scarf up as much of that Citizen's United money as they can...

(53,661 posts)Except for an ocean of complaints and personal smears, they blocked virtually every program that Obama needed to inform the public upon. They scarcely gave time to any official speeches, but twice as much time to detractors.
They've paid their shills to denounce and insult everything he's done, no matter how petty the complaints were. In so doing the mainstream media has left the public to go to hate radio and conspiracy websites that hate Obama.
They are not just ignoring their duty as a protected class under the Constitution to inform the people of things that are important, such as giving the facts on health care. That is just one example, many of the provisions of Obamacare only now coming out as they take effect but no one is listening after years of lies and distortions.
They've trotted out the old dregs of the GOP to give their hateful, crackpot views the aura of credibility. They don't expose lies anymore, they are selling them wholesale. I cannot express any further how much I loathe them and what they've done to our country.

(39,451 posts)What does this lie even accomplish? What is the point of telling people that Obama spoke to an empty stadium when the stadium was packed?
I can't follow this at all.

But we should all know by now that The Republicans and Breitbart.com can't ever tell the truth, looks like the LIE started when the photo was posted to twitter by Mitt Romney's campaign spokesman Ryan Williams
Says so here: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/05/05/obama-empty-arena
So, MITT ROMNEY is behind the LIE
