Remember when there was a bizarre moratorium on calling out LIES?

[Baltimike]

Back in the 2000's, there was this bizarre rule that one could not call a liar a liar. Al Franken even wrote a book calling out the fucking liars...well...because they were fucking LYING.

The same ish is going on right now regarding treason and election rigging.

Truth will out

1. that was and to some extent remains a very peculiar note of propriety

there's some logic to it; reporting that someone told a falsehood is factual, but reporting that they lied requires making an assessment that they knew it was a lie when they said it. that second part is usually very hard to verify.

however, it doesn't line up with the propriety used elsewhere.

hillary was frequently accused of everything up to and including murder, running a pedophile ring, and so on. they usually just threw in the word "allegedly" or said "accused of" and then just ran with it over and over until people were left with the feeling that there had to be something to the claim, regardless of the complete absence of supporting facts.

but when it comes to donnie lying, ohh, no, can't go there.



on the other hand, remember when they kept insisting al gore claimed he "invented" the internet? they had no problem calling him a liar, exaggerator, or even delusional....

3. That just goes to show that the "liberal media" was the conservative press all along. nt

2. Drives me crazy

Well we don’t know if he knew he was lying...blah blah. BS!!! These are all adults we’re talking about, they know. If they don’t know they’re not dishonest they’re incompetent, whichever you wanna go with.

4. And just like the lies and the lying liars who tell them...

We have the riggers and the rigging riggers who rig elections.
