Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Gateway Pundit explains just how badly the blog “Jumping in Pools” can burn you. It’s all of a piece with the fake Chamber of Commerce press conference. Once Leftists and puckish anarchists make truth impossible to find, people will give up on looking.
Continue readingObama lies. He does not merely prevaricate, waffle, beg the question, evade, mince words or engage in any other delicate dodge around the truth. When it comes to the health care bill he is trying to sell American, he and out and lies. He tries to sell us big, fat,
Continue reading“You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time.” — Abraham Lincoln Obama lies, and lies, and lies again. Sometimes he lies directly, and sometimes he
Continue readingObama’s lying again, which is always fascinating, because his lies fall into the “who are you going to believe — me or your lying eyes?” category. That is, it’s not as if he has a guilty little secret, and is lying. Nor is it a simple he said/she said scenary,
Continue readingBack in May 2008 2007, I examined the way in which Obama tells lies: Obama is also a fairly compulsive liar, something that highlights myriad other problems. That is, whenever he’s caught in a problematic situation (ah, those friends of his), rather than making a clean breast of it, or
Continue readingI didn’t post it last week, but in an email I sent to a group of political bloggers discussing Obama’s debate performance last week, I noted that, when Obama attacked McCain for allowing people to yell “kill” Obama, Obama probably already knew that this myth had been debunked. Color me
Continue readingI don’t know whether this Churchill story is true. I first read it about 30 years ago in a book printed about 50 years ago. It doesn’t sound like the man, but it’s a good story anyway for my purposes. Churchill was asked to give a speech to a trade
Continue readingMike Devx was right, and I was too generous. Obama was not phrasing things infelicitously or making Freudian slips when he made the lipstick/pig speech. He has now admitted that he intended to refer to Palin when he used the phrase “lipstick,” something he denied right up until he got
Continue readingKarl Rove has written a tidy little summary of Obama’s dizzying changes on Iraq:* Throughout 2006 and early 2007, Mr. Obama pledged to remove all U.S. troops, even voting to immediately cut off funds for the troops while they were in combat. Then, in July 2007, he started talking about
Continue readingI don’t need to tell you that Obama’s lies are catching up with him. What I wanted to point out is that others are catching up to the unique nature of Obama’s lies, something I blogged about here and here. My example is Ed Morrissey, who says neatly in one
Continue readingThis sounds dreadful — until you read this, and discover that it’s not dreadful, it’s profoundly dishonest. And it’s the dishonesty that’s the true horror. Have past elections been characterized by such terrible dishonesty? I wonder if these lies, damn lies and statistics were always out there tainting the flow
Continue readingI’ve been hitting on Obama about his lying for months now. The latest example is his reneging on his repeatedly stated promise to use federal financing for the election. Here are a slew of links discussing this most recent lie. First, the lie itself. Truth be told, he’s good, but
Continue readingI’ve blogged at length about Obama’s approach to lies. Unlike Hillary, who just works herself into a frenzy of denial, Obama has an incremental approach. He just keeps leaking out pieces of the truth. By the time he’s fully exposed himself as a liar, the compliant, short-memoried media has long
Continue readingI’m beginning to think that incrementalism is one of the most dangerous things out there, whether it’s the way Obama leaks out the truth about his big lies or the way in which the jihadists keep asking for little things from us — no pigs, no dogs, no occupied territories.
Continue readingIn two preceding post, I’ve talked about the studied incrementalism of Obama’s lies (here and here). Obama is now taking a page out of the Hillary play book on lying and simply denying, outright, easily ascertainable truths. UPDATE: And yet another blatant Obama lie — although this one may be
