The word is LIE, Tweety.

[dflprincess]

On tonight's Hardball, I think Matthews mentioned to every guest that the search for WMD was over. Everytime he did that he mentioned the administration "misleading", "misspeaking", I think he even said "mistaken".

Why can't he just come out and say "lie"? It made me crazy.

[Be Brave]

1. Ooooo, but "lie" is such a harsh word.

:puke:

[Atman]

2. They still refuse to believe/admit he did it intentionally

To do so would be to admit they've been backing and promoting a LIAR for the past four years. That does nothing to help their image as "journalists" to admit they can be had so easily.

[Dude_CalmDown]

10. I'm sorry but you're wrong. They were not "had"

That implies that at one point they actually believed the lies they've been parroting.

3. He only uses the word "lie" when the subject

is Bill and Hillary Clinton.

[Jacobin]

4. Tweety is just a court jester for the junta

Why anyone listens to this clown or watches him is beyond me.

5. What a twit tweety is. Some hard-nosed journalist HE is.

6. He doesn't like that word. It is so harsh. He told Al Franken that last

week when he asked Franken about calling so many people liars. Franken defended it quite well.

Tweety, stop being such a friggin wuss. When they know it is wrong and they keep saying it, they are LIARS!

8. apparently, his manners are more offended by "liar" than his principles

.

9. Right, the word bothers him more than the action.

7. Didn't Colin Powel spell out exactly how many tons of this & that they had

These bastards lied our country to war. And America demands nothing.

[greendog]

11. Shouldn't Tweety have to disclose the fact...

...that he is employed by a company that profits from the war in Iraq?

Doe's this conflict of interest have any bearing on his objectivity?

[seabeyond]

12. you know tweety got in trouble with repugs a couple times

that one woman he hassled on his show and miller i want a dual. he has been bought off. he will never hurt the repug again. he wants to stay on. gonna send him more and more emails how much or just plain how were you paid off.

13. If he doesn't want to say "lie", how about

falsify, prevaricate, equivocate, deceive, concoct, or invent? Or better yet (since the wingnuts are so hung up on sexual themes) pervert the truth!
