A Liar By Another Other Name
There’s a crisis in what passes for journalism these days, because last week Obama Supporters in the Press at CBS, NBC, and ABC actually began running stories about White House lies and how Obama and Dishonest DemocRATS in Congress got themselves reelected in 2012 by selling a so-called healthcare reform law based on “a big lie.”
(Would you believe, you just read the lead paragraph in The Blower’s November 18, 2013 E-dition? Maybe we should just repeat what we said last year, because it’s exactly the same thing we reported 365 days ago.) [SEE IT HERE]
Last year The Blower included this paragraph:
The “Father of ObamaCare” (MIT Professor Jon Gruber) admits Obama “Misled” Americans when he told them they could keep their Health Plans, and Whistleblower Pollster Ron Rasmussen says 46% believe Obama “Purposely Misled” Americans about the impact of the new law on their lives.
That means The Blower was exclusively reporting “Grubergate” a year ago. Eat your hearts out, Feckless Fishwrappers!
Maybe that’s why our Quote for Today Committee chose Hitler’s Nazi Propaganda Minister Dr. Joseph Goebbels’ “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it, especially all those Dumbed-Down, Self-Absorbed, Media-Influenced, Celebrity-Obsessed, Politically-Correct, Uninformed, Short-Attention-Span, Free-Stuff Grabbing, Low-Information Obama Voters Who Put Obama In The White House—Twice, Who Bothered Going to the Polls two years ago year.- Hurley the Historian says according to the History Channel, on this date in 1973, President Richard Nixon insisted he was not a crook, but that whopper was only surpassed when Presidential Pants-dropper Bill Clinton wagged his finger at the camera and swore “I did not have sex with that woman — Ms. Lewinsky.” These days, some people are just beginning to compare those whoppers with a few of Obama’s campaign promises, which cynics are finally calling either “lying” or “incompetence.”
So the biggest problem for our so-called journalists these days will be coming up with a way to report Obama and all those Dishonest DemocRATS lied without having to call them “Liars.” It sounds so judgmental. - Last year, Dishonest DemocRAT House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer claimed it was not a lie when Obama told Americans they could keep their plans, because people interpreted what he said “expansively,” whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean.
- And how about when the New York Times called Obama’s “Keep Your Plan Lie” an “Incorrect Promise?” That was the first time we’d seen that expression used—EVER! And all of this was because it wouldn’t have been Politically Correct for any of our Kneepad Liberals in the Press to call our Political Prevaricator in the White House a “Liar.”
- So wait a minute, maybe if they just used words that meant the same thing as “Lies” and “Liars,” it might not sound so bad.

You know, if keep this up, we’ll be able to give each of the 535 Members of Congress his own special phrase to use every time he’s economical with the truth, tries to spin a yarn, or is just full of shit. But as Hillary Clinton would say, “At this point, what difference would it make anyway,” especially since COAST’s Avaricious Attorney Chris Finney is continuing to fight for politicians’ “Right to Lie” during political campaigns.
- Finally, at yesterday’s meeting of the Conservative Agenda, Political Insiders were asking Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane who came up with the three kinds of lies as Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics. “That quote is often attributed to Benjamin Disraeli, the 19th century British Prime Minister,” Kane explained, “but if we want to use it during the Dark Ages of Obama’s Second Term (with only 722 more days remaining unless he’s impeached), we’d probably have to say the three kinds of lies are “Lies, Damn Lies, and Just About Every Time Obama Opens His Mouth.”
