A Liar By Any Other Name…
The crisis continues in what passes for journalism in America, as we see the typical hypocritical double-standards from the “dishonest media” and their misled victims “protesting” Donald Trump’s election as US President, from same sectors who roasted Trump for declaring he would not straightaway accept the election result, pending suspicions of rigging.
- Some people at the New York Times must not have gotten the word on Friday when Publisher Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr. vowed to “rededicate” his paper to reporting honestly, following their dishonest reporting of the Trump Campaign, because in Sunday’s edition, New York Times reporters hypocritically hailed anti-Trump demonstrators in “Protesters Take Anti-Trump Message to His Doorstep, and Plan Next Steps.”
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 Supporters Who Put The Positively Worst President in History In The White House—Twice, And Failed To Give Obama a Third Term By Voting For Hillary, and still get all of their information from our Obama Supporters in the Press, like the ones at The Fishwrap and on Channels 5, 9, 12, and 19.
- Hurley the Historian says according to the History Channel, on Wednesday’s 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.”
But the biggest problem for our so-called journalists these days is coming up with a way to report Obama and all those Disgraced DemocRATS lied without having to call them “Liars.” It sounds so judgmental.
Do you remember when Disingenuous DemocRAT House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer claimed Obama telling Americans they could keep their plans was not a lie, because people interpreted what he said “expansively,” whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean.
The “Father of ObamaCare” (MIT Professor Jon Gruber) admitted Obama “Misled” Americans when he told them they could keep their Health Plans, and Whistleblower Pollster Ron Rasmussen said 46% believed Obama “Purposely Misled” Americans about the impact of the new law on their lives.
And how about when the “as yet un-rededicated” New York Times called Obama’s “Keep Your Plan Lie” an “Incorrect Promise?” That’s the first time we’ve seen that expression used—EVER! And all of this is because it wouldn’t be 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.

- 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 67 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.”
