OBAMA: Liar-in-chief

[KWCrazy]

How many lies has Obama told?
His supporters would claim "none," but Politifact lists 70.
Amazingly, while they are making great sport out of an erroneous memory of Donald Trump, Democrats seem to turn a blind eye to all the lies spewed by their beloved leader.

I think Democrats don't really line up behind their leaders (right or wrong) in the same way Republicans typically do. Sometimes they do, but not in general. This is why you won't see the Democrats come in and argue that Politifact is partisan, like you would in the reverse scenario. Making the argument you're doing is projection.

et tu, quoque?

Yes, President Obama's trousers have gone into spontaneous combustion on many occasions. I suppose that somehow excuses any Republican from accountability.

Yep. That's why we know for certain that all the breast-beating by the haters is insincere.

Refresh our memory, then, as to the number of times you've posted anything critical of Obama's lies or gaffes.

 

[JustOneWay]

Seems we always get these types of threads anytime the opposition claims one of theirs is a liar.

You get used to it.

You get used to it.

It's just a term that someone used awhile ago and it's now fun for others to employ. Must sound erudite...or else "strawman" and "ad hominum" are getting stale.

 

[JustOneWay]

The OP forgets that Obama is not running for President....

But Trump is, and instead of tackling Trumps lies we must rehash dirt on Obama.


Thus giving Trump a pass

Having a life, I don't keep spreadsheets on my posts or anyone else's. I have found Politifact to be very reliable as they are in tracking the President's. Unfortunately for you, they also gore your favorite ox when indicated.

Name me one politician who hasn't lied.
lol

I don't know what is crazier, those who think their horse in the race is the best, or the fact the other ones can't run as fast.

Politifact:

Obama's File

Trump's File

Carson's File

Clinton's file

I only skimmed the list quickly, but I didn't see any on there that either fueled bigotry against a minority group or were being touted as justification for potentially violating the civil rights of that minority group. Do you see any on there like that? Because that's what Trump was doing.

lol.

I don't think that's the point. The point appeared to deal with hypocrisy (or at least with a glaring inconsistency on the part of those who will nit-pick to death anything that might possibly have been incorrect in one candidate's remarks while giving a pass to the next one even though his "lies," "deceit," or whatever else they want to call it, are much more significant or consequential).

When you started off with the word "Politifact" we were all immediately advised not to consider anything that followed to be factual.

The point to it all is that Democrats are falling over themselves trying to find dishonesty in Republican candidates while ignoring their fact that their own president and leading presidential candidate are among the most corrupt, dishonest people ever to run for office.

Try actually reading the statements. Obama's quotes were not made up, and they are in 100% opposition to the facts.
Obama is a liar. Period.

How so? What's a good "average" lie rate for a President?

Lol. The OP is based off a Politifact piece. In Post #5, you quoted the OP and wrote, "Yep. That's why we know for certain that all the breast-beating by the haters is insincere."

So, when you said, "Yep..." were we to have interpreted that as your expressing skepticism at the validity of the OP's claims? Or did you change your opinion of Politifact's trustworthiness somewhere between Post #5 and your Post #16?
