Let's call a lie a lie, dammit!

[Joe Fields]

I'm sick of hearing the term "misled" over and over again by the media. Call them what they are, or might be. LIES!

Come on, Dobbs, Olberman, Cafferty, Gregory, et. al. This "misled" crap has got to go.

1. "I Misspoke"

2. A while back, my editor wouldn't let me use the word "lie"

when I wrote about Bush. He doesn't say a word any more, and I use lie in doggone near every column I write about the administration.

6. Who do you write for?

[AbbyR]

7. A medium-sized weekly in Arkansas

I used to be embarrassed to admit that, but it's really a good paper with lots of awards behind it, so I've gotten over it. Besides, I have a lot of freedom to write what I like.

3. absolutely, and the democrats should call it what it is also

they have enough unambigous video which shows him LYING

8. hi

This should probably be a PM but I feel lazy. I hope you don't mind but I save your pug picture. I love pugs, have one myself and yours is just a cutie.

On edit: to add to the thread. Fuck Bush. They never had a problem calling Clinton a liar when he was lying about cheating. Bush lies and people died but he just misleads? grrrrrr.

10. No that's cool. His name is Gunnar boy, and he is spoiled rotten

The New Yorker is now reporting that bush and company are now considering using tactical nukes against Iran. Has the world gone crazy? Don't people engage in dialog anymore. Not only morally and ethically, but it is much cheaper in monetary cost also

4. and "mistakes" as in "mistakes made in Iraq"

Lots of lies? Yes. Lots of criminal activity? Yes.

[neoblues]

5. See, now to do that... would be too honest.

And it would be a shock to the system of most Americans (who've become lulled/deluded by the constant stream of prevarication).

[Ilsa]

9. I like the Stephanie Miller song: He's a lying sack of crap:

He's a lying sack of crap.
He's a lying sack of crap.
He's a lying, scheming,
stinking, nasty
sack of liquid crap.

Hey, I can dream, can't I?
