Anybody else see Ari Fleischer lie last night?

[rwork]

Jon Stewart asked him about bush*s town hall meetings and having only invited, people to ask soft ball questions.Ari said,Oh they all do that, Democrats and Republicans.My wife mentioned, only bush* reguired loyalty oaths to here his campaign speechs.

[Cooley Hurd]

1. He used that line several times...

"They all do it."

Prove it, Ari...:grr:

[bahrbearian]

2. At that point Stewart become speechless and the audience

went into shock.

3. Kerry didn't require loyalty oaths

I volunteered at a couple of these sort of events for Kerry and Edwards. There were no loyalty oaths, and we didn't put people out of the line if they seemed to be Bush or Nader supporters. Everyone did, however, need a ticket, which was available through the campaign.

5. I went to an Edwards rally

I printed my ticket from the web.

I'm not sure why I even needed a ticket.. anyone could just print a ticket.

[imenja]

7. but you got the ticket because you were signed up through the campaign

but of course Republicans could easily sign up as well. All they needed to be able to do was to tolerate the endless emails soliciting campaign contributions.

9. I got 4 rally tickets through the K/E campaign....

I think everybody got 4.

& I was free to distribute them to whomever I wished.

So I did - we & left the remainder @ the gate for anybody who wanted them.

no questions asked......

[pinellas]

4. Thanks for reminding me about that...

Quite disingenuous, wasn't it?

That guy is so slimey! I loved it when Janeane Garafolo said he(& McClellan) must have explosive diarrhea after all that dishonesty.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

6. Did he open his mouth?

If he did, he lied.

[opihimoimoi]

8. The deflection/distortion/deception continues..Fuck his book..hope it dies

[dave123williams]

10. Fleischer lies like most people breathe.

[Longhorn]

11. I was furious throughout the entire interview.

And as much as I like Jon Stewart, I thought he was way too flattered by Fleischer's appearance on the show and he was way too easy on him.

[DeaconBlues]

12. I agree

There was a lot of things that Stewart could have called Fleisher on (inclucing the bald-faced law that "everybody does it") and he didn't. Made for a pretty boring interview.
