The president pushes back against health care misinformation, then spreads a bunch of his own.

This article nails it!
What a pathetic joke our MSM is. They are all up-in-arms over Joe Wilson's little outburst, which he apologized for both in writing and in person; but can't be bothered to fact-check all of the lies Obama spewed in his little speech.
I know that most lefties absolutely despise conservative talk-radio and Fox News, but without these outlets this administration would probably get no scrutiny at all. Hell, the MSM only started reporting on Van Jones AFTER the conservative media made it big enough that it could no longer be ignored - except for the NYTimes, which didn't report on that asshole at all until after he "resigned". We need a healthy skepticism of our elected leaders.
We need to thoroughly scrutinize the words and actions of our leaders regardless of their political affiliation. I would hope that this is something that honest-minded lefties can agree with. Seeing as the MSM is STILL absolutely in the tank for Obama, the honest lefties should be silently cheering the likes of Fox and Hannity for actually taking Obama to task.

Wow Larry.
That was one hell of a rejoinder.
You really deconstructed the author's arguments, on topic, point-by-point.

No reason to cheer Hannity, et. al., no reason to cheer at all. It's unforunate most of their listeners don't exhibit the critical thinking skills required to plough through their bullshit and try to separate the lies from actual news.
Por ejemplo:
On his Fox News show, Sean Hannity falsely claimed that President Obama said during his health care speech that insurance company executives are "bad people," and that Obama's remarks "took [Hannity] back because it was so harsh." In fact, as was made clear by the video Hannity himself showed, Obama said just the opposite -- that "[i]nsurance executives don't [treat their customers badly] because they're bad people; they do it because it's profitable." mediamatters.org

Jeff,
The point here is the author is RIGHT so that is the expected response from someone who is one of the ten people watching MSNBC and thinks Maddow is truth in media personified and The Ed Show balances out Rush or O-Reilly.

Sarvis,
This is what I find fascinating about your take...
Several prominent members of the DNC, in a strategic shift, took to hyping some of the nastiest comments imaginable upon the insurance industry as a means of ginning up support for their BS legislation.
Hannity, had the gall, to attribute this shittiness to Obama, and because Obama didn't use those exact words you are all up in arms and pissed off. Never mind the fact that Hannity's depiction was consistent with the tone taken by the DNC and Obama. Yet, Obama goes on a national stage, lies his ass off, and you (and Larry) get all sorts of pissed off because a few of us have the temerity to call him out on his bullshit.

2. Obama lied his ass off and you cheer him on. Pathetic.

I'm also curious (insert joke here) why some on the left use homosexual epithets or innuendos as an insult. Generally speaking it is the left who is more accepting of gays, yet some of them will not hesitate to call someone on the right a 'faggot' if they disagree with them

It's OK, Jeff. It's coming out pretty fast now...there are OTHERS calling him a liar instead of just Wilson, Hannity, Beck, you...and ME.

I could go on, but there's really no need. Doc and his little friends KNOW the Obamessiah is a fucken' liar but they are still experiencing raptures from seeing him on TV and listening to that voice...that tantalizing voice...oh..oh.... I understan Chris Matthews had to be hospitalized right after the speech. Both his legs tingled and he sprouted a woody so hard a panther couldn't scratch it. It caused all the blood to drain from what he uses as a brain.

Larry,
Your links were nothing but conjecture.
I can link countless instances where, through torture, information was obtained that was intended to remain secret. This is true throughout man's history. It is also common f-ing sense.
Torture is ugly, but it works. You can argue against its use on moral grounds and that is fine. But you are utterly delusional if you believe that it isn't effective, or worse, that it NEVER works.

Regardless, This isn't a thread about torture, it's a thread about Obama lying in front of a national audience. This torture bullshit is nothing but a deflection.

The Obamessiah stated he didn't know Blogojevich and had just seen him at a ballgame without ever speaking to him. Is that a lie? Maybe he just forgot?

Not only did Obama not use those exact words, he expressed an exactly opposite sentiment from the one Hannity ascribed to him.
I'm not going to waste much time on this anymore, but occasionally I do wonder if you're intentionally obtuse or just obtuse. Either way, you do provide some amusement. Thanks for the laughs!

It's fucking hilarious to watch the Obama Fan Club ignore every fact, and blindly defend their Chocolate Jesus, regardless of how petty or accurate the accusation.
It's like a sickness.

I can honestly say that torture would work on one person. Me. I might be the only one on the planet, but I would tell my captors anything they wanted to hear before the electrodes even got near my testicles.
But as I said, that's me. Torture might be useless on the other 5,999,999,999 people on this planet, I don't know.

The same MSM which turned a Jr. Senator into the POTUS in less than four years? Who has continued to ignore gaff after gaff? Look at the thread as an example. This won't be reported in the MSM, like the other dozen lies and spins out of the WH, they don't have the guts to call a spade a spade.(No pun intended)

#2 | Posted by LarryMohr at 2009 while I realize this is an attempt to be funny the bad part is that millions of americans think the same way as well as democrats all over washington and throughout the staterun media. and then in 2010 they are all going to say
gosh..what happened? well they were yawning while the POTUS was lieing his ass off and has been for some time.
no lobbyists and the white house is crawling with them transparent government now filled with shadow govt czars people dont even read bills they sign because they run them in overnight with amendments not for single payer but clip says otherwise aarp "On board" but they werent jobs back at the caterpillar plant right before large layoffs and on and on and on..
