1. Have these people heard of honesty?

Doesn't look or sound like it, and if Romney's bain capital buddy's book is any indication, they even lie to themselves.

...in their desperate attempt to force their failed ideology on our country.

It's the media's responsibility to expose these lies IMO..., but unfortunately the media whores are drooling to scarf up as much of that Citizen's United money as they can...

3. But the media outfits are GOP owned. Since January 21, 2009, the office of POTUS ceased to exist.

Except for an ocean of complaints and personal smears, they blocked virtually every program that Obama needed to inform the public upon. They scarcely gave time to any official speeches, but twice as much time to detractors.

They've paid their shills to denounce and insult everything he's done, no matter how petty the complaints were. In so doing the mainstream media has left the public to go to hate radio and conspiracy websites that hate Obama.

They are not just ignoring their duty as a protected class under the Constitution to inform the people of things that are important, such as giving the facts on health care. That is just one example, many of the provisions of Obamacare only now coming out as they take effect but no one is listening after years of lies and distortions.

They've trotted out the old dregs of the GOP to give their hateful, crackpot views the aura of credibility. They don't expose lies anymore, they are selling them wholesale. I cannot express any further how much I loathe them and what they've done to our country.

6. In paragraph 2 of its article, USA Today said there were only 10,000 in attendance.

You had to read to paragraph 13 to find out there were actually 14,000 in Columbus at Obama's rally.

7. This is so stupid. What are they going to say on Nov 6th when all these 'empty seats' vote?

What does this lie even accomplish? What is the point of telling people that Obama spoke to an empty stadium when the stadium was packed?

I can't follow this at all.

8. I agree it is stupid. There will be 100s of Obama rallies between now and the election

and they will all be packed full of people


But we should all know by now that The Republicans and Breitbart.com can't ever tell the truth, looks like the LIE started when the photo was posted to twitter by Mitt Romney's campaign spokesman Ryan Williams

Says so here: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/05/05/obama-empty-arena

So, MITT ROMNEY is behind the LIE
