Bill O'Liely Lie of the Day
I just heard his one-minute "talking points" that comes on the radio during other programming, like a commercial for his show

he was talking about number of people in poverty in our country

he said

"if you can pick up a paintbrush you can make a decent living."

"if you can drive a vehicle, you can provide for a family."


I would venture to say that there are hundreds of thousands of people right now who would love to pick up a paintbrush, wave it back and forth for 8 hours a day, and make a "decent living" if that were the case.

The truth is, it's not the case,

and he is, once again, LYING.

1. This is one of the most cruel memes they've come up with...
You're lazy if you can't find a job.

So, where are the jobs? I'd like to see O'Liely talk out of both sides of his mouth... oh, wait... he does.

Obama isn't doing his job because there are no jobs being created. Obama is a bad man.

If you can't find a job, you're lazy.

:shrug:

He can't have it both ways. Either there are no jobs to be had, or there are plenty and all the unemployed are just lazy.

Excedrine headache #111....

2. "If you can drive a vehicle..."
Yeah, if you can afford to own one.

And you can't make a living as a school bus driver either, you can only supplement your income.

Bill O'Liely is full of useless crap, as usual.
