Oliver North always was a (bleep)-ing liar, and he has gotten worse.

"No one" died from Iran-Contra?

Oliver North Thinks Obama Could Be Impeached For Benghazi Because 'Nobody Died In Iran-Contra'

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 3/12/2014 12:15 pm

Oliver North, the Reagan administration National Security Council staffer who became a conservative hero because of his role in the Iran-Contra scandal, said last week that President Obama could be impeached for his handling of issues including the Benghazi attack because unlike in Benghazi, “nobody died in Iran-Contra.” North told Tim Constantine of the Tea Party News Network that the Reagan administration didn’t try to cover up the Iran-Contra scandal, a fact he might want to check with his own secretary from the time. He also urged House Speaker John Boehner to form a special committee on Benghazi. Right-wing activists have only increased their demands for a special committee after the House Republicans’ own report — among others — debunked conspiracy theories about the Obama administration’s handling of the attack. “Tragically, this administration has gotten away with things that any other president would have been impeached for, there’s no doubt in my mind,” North said.
As Brian Powell of Media Matters notes, it is patently absurd to claim that no one died as a result of the Iran Contra scandal, “in which the Republican hero trafficked arms into the hands of a tyrannical Iranian government, negotiated with Hezbollah terrorists and funneled money and military equipment into the hands of violent revolutionaries in America’s own backyard.” “The assertion -- that the Reagan administration’s felonious dealings with terrorists and terror-sponsoring nations didn’t lead to a single casualty -- is absurd to anyone with even the most elementary understanding of what Iran-Contra was or to anyone with access to the Internet,” Powell writes.

2. Piggy bank

I ALSO recall he testified before congress, when asked how he paid for his new pickup truck, his answer was: every day he put all his change in a large jar, and that is how he saved enough for the new pickup.

(I used to also put all my change in a 5 gallon jar. After about 15 years, I took the money to the bank to have it counted. It was a little less than $1,000.00.) His new truck cost over $17,000.00).

5. It's the run-up to another election, in which a desperate GOP is trying to rouse the base, yes?

Oliver North has been resurrected as a hero, Phyllis Schlafly with her anti-gay, anti-sex, anti-abortion, anti-birth control stance has been hauled out of moth balls, we're being treated to what Cheney thinks, and I've even Bill Kristol and Anne Coulter raise their heads.

7. His opinion is worth as much as his oath to uphold the Constitution

8. Someone just shoot him

Dear Oliver North:

Treason is defined in the Constitution, the document you swore to uphold, as waging war against the United States or giving aid and comfort to our enemies.

You committed it.
