TYT: Republican Debate: And The Biggest Liar Award Goes To...



In last night’s Republican debate, boy were there a lot of lies told. We don’t have time to cover all of them, but here are some of the highlights. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Or take her biggest applause line of the night: a riff on the Planned Parenthood tapes that set conservative Twitter afire. "I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes. Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, it's heart beating, it's legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain."

The only problem? Nothing like that happens in the Planned Parenthood tapes. As Sarah Kliff, who has watched all the tapes, wrote, "either Fiorina hasn't watched the Planned Parenthood videos or she is knowingly misrepresenting the footage.””*

The republicans told lie after lie last night.

CNN and Jake Tapper didn't call them on any of them.

Cenk Uygur is doing great journalism. I wish the same could be said CNN.

She should be highly embarrassed that she almost drove HP into the ground. It's on the record that she failed miserably as CEO of HP, but, she lies about how successful she was at the aforementioned company.

As a matter of fact, none of the GOP presidential hopefuls have any shame.

It's amazing that we've come this far in the year 2015 with blatant liars running for president.

Bernie is a breath of fresh air, honest as the day is long.

Feel the Bern!

And one of the biggest reasons our country is in the state it's in today.

If anyone wonders why Americans can believe the lies spewed by politicians today they need look no further than our M$M.

However, I do believe they have finally jumped the shark, and are having to deal with the blowback in the persona of the donald, bwahahaha!

The look on the elites faces as that blowhard gave them a taste of their own medicine was priceless

It's true that his rise is due, for the most part, to the fact that americans are sick and tired of all the BS spin that has been doled out to them, very professionally mind you, over the decades, and are ready to jump behind almost anyone, who they perceive to be speaking from the heart, and willing to go off script.

While it's also true, and incredibly sad, that many are so misinformed, and have lost so much of their critical thinking skills that they are willing to back that loser.

Yet, on the very bright side, we also have Berie, who is in position to actually capitalize on this sorry state that the elite of this country have brought us to.

And the cherry on top, is the realization that this perfect alignment of the political stars to make a socialist candidate, who is calling for a freakin political REVOLUTION, even considered a viable candidate for the presidency of our great nation, is mostly due to the maleficence and great hubris of the very elite who like to think of themselves as the masters of the universe bwahahahaha!!!

Of course Bernie gets a little credit too, but for the most part it's mostly due to the mismanagement of the elites affairs by the elites, due to their own exorbitant greed and arrogance, you just gotta love it!!!

Can you feel the Bern
