Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

A new Mitt Romney ad running in New Hampshire quotes President Obama saying "If we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose."

The problem: Obama wasn't talking about his own chances to win reelection in 2012, as the ad suggests. Instead he was making light in 2008 of what a campaign adviser for his 2008 opponent John McCain said.

Seems like if Obama is doing as bad of a job as Romney says he is, he wouldn't have to resort to lies to make him look bad.

I don't care a bit if he lied. As long as the economic psychopath occupying the White House loses in November I'll be happy.

"I don't care a bit if he lied."

At least you admit you're a scumbag.

At best he played a sound byte out of context. That is not a lie by any stretch of the imagination. And again any opponent could practically eat babies for breakfast and still hold the moral hi ground on obama.

Seems as though stupid whining fucks like yourself already forgot the bastard in chiefs lie McCain wanted a 100 year presence in Iraq.

Funny how all you Cindy Sheehan is a hero libs forget...

Nice deflection, douchebag.

Low road, high road, roundabout, hyperspace bypass, it's all the same to Willard, whose ever-changing positions track out something like this: www.ericscheske.com

Nice deflection, douchebag.

Which part moron? You being a "Cindy Sheehan is a hero" lib? Or deflecting to an ad which you forgot about, airing back in 2008 as you sob this isn't fair to Obama in Nov 2011?

#7
I suppose its better to change positions the keep the one that ends up like this
cache.gawkerassets.com as a certain unnamed current potusa has.

I'm so sad that Obama is being taken out of context after his supporters did the same thing to McCain and his "100 years" comment, which of course followed the misrepresentation of Kerry's "for it before I was against it" comment, following Al Gore's "invented the internet" comment, and Bush senior's "read my lips" comment.

Poor baby, someone get AngwyDad a tissue.

"Or deflecting to an ad which you forgot about..."

So that's all you got???

"The other guy did it, too!"

LMAO!

That's called a "deflection", douchebag.

"That is not a lie by any stretch of the imagination."

I'd say it's a lie by definition. And if Obama does it, it'll be a lie then, too. Just because it's business as usual doesn't mean it's a lie. Lying by omission (leaving out context) is still a lie.

The likely battle between these two guys will be interesting. The biggest thing Romney will realistically have going for him is that he's not Obama (just as, some will point out, the biggest thing Obama had going for him in 2008 was that he wasn't Bush or McCain).

LMAO!

That's called a "deflection", douchebag.

No it is called hypocrisy you fucking dolt.picture But in your case add your slit for a clearer picture. Back in 2008 Obama lied and claimed McCain wanted a 100 year war. Today you and the whining bitch in chief are crying about an ad no worse than his quote taken out of context. Right you Cindy Sheehan like loony lib?

"Romney takes low road: Lies in anti Obama ad"

I heard Obama lying in the ad too. There are numerous Obama lies not addressed in the ad as well.

#13 | Posted by crispee_oc

So, I was right.

All you got is "the other guy did it too!"

Good argument...makes everything ok.

Plenty of material to work with, without having to resort to something like this. The first three years of ObamaNation is like history's greatest gift to GOP campaign directors and SNL writers. So why do both of those suck lately?

"At least you admit you're a scumbag."

No, I am not. I am a realist. People lie in both parties all the time, especially in elections.

So what? That's your standard?

Damn. Go ahead an vote for Mitt, then. I'm sure he'll stop lying the moment he's safely elected.

Hah! I have no strong preference at this moment among the candidates. But I can assure you none of them will stop lying once elected.

I hear that a lot. It's an interesting statement, because already by this point you know all there is to know about who any of them are.

They won't get any better with age.

At best he played a sound byte out of context. That is not a lie by any stretch of the imagination.

Wow, I don't know what world you live in but I can certain see you have no moral character.

romney lied, and this is not in any way shape or form what I would endorse for being our president.

one more republican loses my vote.

#21
Did he or did he not say it?
It was not a lie just failed to disseminate all the information.
Besides the statement from the campaign paints it as just pointing out Obama's hypocrisy, which is fair enough.

Dumbass, romney gave a press release saying it was a lie.

We now see how far your moral character goes too.

Besides, Mitt has so much more money than most people. Just give him everything else he wants.

"Besides, Mitt has so much more money than most people. Just give him everything else he wants."

So money is the issue now?
I assume that the fact that Obama doubled the money spent by McCain is just as egregious to you right?

herr bush sumitted a paper saying lieing is now approved by law. herr bush gave us 8 years of lies

So money is the issue now?

#25 | Posted by salamandagator at 2011

It's sure one of them. Tell me: Why does such a successful man like Mitt need to lie about anything at all?

This is a deadly serious question. Your answer will go far in explaining why it is you have such a difficult time understanding many other people.

romney gave a press release saying it was a lie."

Really, he said that Obama never uttered those words?
That they just got a voice actor to say it?
Or did they just spin it to show Obama's hypocrisy?

Really, he said that Obama never uttered those words?

#28 | Posted by salamandagator at

Did Obama utter those words in something remotely like the context Mitt was asserting?

I'll ask you again: Why does a successful man like Mitt feel compelled to lie about anything?

"Why does such a successful man like Mitt need to lie about anything at all?"

Again, playing fast and loose is not lying and is part of the political machine in it's current iteration. But the reason that many have to is the way that the media treats the right wing candidates. Obama is given the pass and will continue to receive it while opposition is routinely drug through the mud. Sometimes you fight fire with fire, sensationalism is the name of the game. It is pretty difficult to expect anyone to maintain a squeaky clean campaign when no one else is willing to. So i guess you can just call me a realist.

"Did Obama utter those words in something remotely like the context Mitt was asserting?"

Yes, but i will admit that it is somewhat veiled. Maybe because it is a quick commercial and it would take to long to show how the tables have turned to the masses who don't really care.

Again, playing fast and loose is not lying

I guess that depends upon what church you go to. Mitt is a Mormon. He was baptized. There's nothing in his core beliefs that should permit him to go where it is you so cooly let him.

Mitt professes to be a religious upstanding moral in fiber and character but lies in add and admits he lied on purpose.

So his faith is a lie

and proves to all of us that he is willing to lie in achieving his goal as being our leader. So at what point do people trust him and expect him to be our country representative.

I find it amazing that anyone is actually supporting him now.

A little friendly thread hijacking:

Mitt Romney is a liar, and operates in secrecy precisely like Cheney.

"Mitt is a Mormon. He was baptized. There's nothing in his core beliefs that should permit him to go where it is you so cooly let him."

Um, point that out to me where in the bible or the book of mormon it says anything like that.

I am even more surprised that the mormons have not come out and pushed him out of their church for dishonest behavior.

It clearly shows that the adventist are not a top moral fibered character of religious faith. They stand for follow us as long as it makes us power and money.

Don't drink and don't smoke in our faith but lying is ok for us. Nice mormons....LOL

sorry redlight but think that is done in poor taste.

"lies in add and admits he lied on purpose."

He did no such thing. Not even close.

Where else could he find Obama after driving us off a cliff? We are lucky the bastard in chief actually landed on a low road...

"Don't drink and don't smoke in our faith but lying is ok for us. Nice mormons....LOL"

Just so you know mormonism is a cult in my oppinion.

New Mitt Romney Ad Falsely Attributes McCain Quote to Obama:

#42
You mean Romney quotes Obama quoting McCain to show hoe far from Obama's promises he has fallen right?

Obama: “Senator McCain’s campaign actually said, and I quote, if we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose.” (Senator Barack Obama, Remarks, Londonderry, NH, 10/16/08)
Gail Gitcho, Romney Communications Director: “Three years ago, candidate Barack Obama mocked his opponent’s campaign for saying ‘if we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose.’

You mean Romney quotes Obama quoting McCain

well we can see you are willing to propagate the lie too.

romney makes it obama's quotes all the while knowing it is mccains quote and it is interesting you would defend this instead of being against it.

Just so you know mormonism is a cult in my oppinion.

No less than your wacky religious belief.

#21
It was a lie.
the statement from the campaign paints it as just.

#22 | POSTED BY SALAMANDAGATOR AT 2011-11-22 04:34 PM | REPLY | FLAG

The press jumps all over Romney, as they should, but this inept president has been given a free pass since that sad day for America Obama entered the race for president.
Obama has been in office for over two years, yet this very same press:
·Cannot find any of his Childhood friends or neighbors;Â
·Or find any of Obama's High school or college classmates;Â
·Or locate any of his College papers or grades;Â
·Or determine how he paid for both a Columbia & a Harvard education;
·Or discover which Country issued his visa to travel to Pakistan in the 1980's;
·Or even find Michelle Obama's Princeton thesis on racism.
They just can't seem to uncover any of this.

one more republican loses my vote.

I'm sure that they were totally counting on it...

Thou Shalt Not Lie. We can start with that one.

I love it. You actually begin with the premise that core values only matter to the extent that they get you something you want.

The available evidence is that Mitt agrees with you entirely.

48 | Posted by wstpnt80 at 2011

Interviews with Obama's college classmates are available on-line.

But you can never keep a good Birther down, can you?

"Thou Shalt Not Lie. We can start with that one."

Then show where he lied.

"You actually begin with the premise that core values only matter to the extent that they get you something you want."

Yeah, you go with that, i'm sure the unicorns dancing in your bedroom would agree.

Your posts apparently mean nothing at all. You make me tired.

There are also on line interviews with people who have been abducted by aliens, people who think they are Jesus, and so on. You actually believe everything you see on line.

You always think the problem is with the proof. You never think that the problem is you.

That was a good one. I have plenty of problems. The main one being a president who is an embarrassment to the country I love. Have a good night.

sorry redlight but think that is done in poor taste.
#38 | Posted by moneywar at 2011-11-22 04:54 PM

You mean posting the link to yet another Drudge Mittinsfest?

It's relevant to this particular thread.

Or, did you mean that stating Mitt Romney is a liar who operates in secrecy is "poor taste"?

You were actually going to vote for this clown - that is, until just today? Why is that?

"Yes, but i will admit that it is somewhat veiled."

Hilarious. Romney just outright lies, makes shit up out of thin air and you say it is "somewhat veiled"? Too funny!

"psychopath occupying the White House loses in November I'll be happy."

no diabloshit.. YOU aren't in the white house.. thank god.

#58
Yes because we all know failing to cite sources or provide is akin to an outright lie.

Political satire in response to Romney's dishonest ad:

www.youtube.com

*Accurate, according to the Romney (and Salamandgator) standard of accuracy.

"Hilarious. Romney just outright lies, makes shit up out of thin air and you say it is "somewhat veiled"? Too funny!"

For the love of father mike, is there anything you whining useless libs don't fucking cry about? How fucking hard is it to understand the ad? Do all messages have to be dumbed down to taking the fucking car keys away?

Use your heads... Romney is pointing to Obama's achilles heel and used it against the whining baby in chief. He threw it back in the lying POS's face who exposed McCain's achilles heel back in 2008. Which was if they talk about the economy they will lose.

Actually, Romney is lying, and his campaign says that the lie was, "intentional".

www.drudge.com

"Actually, Romney is lying, and his campaign says that the lie was, "intentional"."

Really?

"Instead he was making light in 2008 of what a campaign adviser for his 2008 opponent John McCain said."

By all means explain how Obama is in any different position? Other than no campaign advisor saying the obvious about talking economy? Take your time Corky...

I'm sure that they were totally counting on it...

It doesn't matter what the intentions were crisp, romney lied for the attention.

The add could of showed the truth of what obama quoted and the situation back then with mccain and showed how it is no different now.

Instead romney lied about the quote, was caught, and decided to say he did it on purpose, which is inherently WRONG in the first place. Nice church going fellow with high moral character.

I am surprise the mormon church hasn't said something about this, like stop running on a plateform with our faith involved because that is not what we inspire out of our followers.

“We Believe in Being Honest”
Marion G. Romney
November 1976 Ensign

...honesty which reads: “Honesty implies freedom from lying, stealing, cheating, and bearing false witness... I shall not always attempt to distinguish between lying and bearing false witness, nor between stealing...
