  • Chronicling Mitt Romey's Lies

    Already up to it's 33'rd installment, this edition has 30 points in which he has lied, stretched the truth, or just plain mis-lead by deceit.

    "Jon Chait noted the other day that Mitt Romney "has built his entire campaign on, well, lies." Jon made the observation in passing, but it struck me as significant, especially as the Republican National Convention unfolded -- Romney isn't the first national politician to try to deceive the public, but he's arguably the first to build his entire campaign around the deceptions."

    Don't you think you could have just created one thread, something along the lines of "I don't like Romney, neener neener neener" instead of three separate ones all pretty much saying the same thing?

    Abusing Yellow is meant to be a labor of love, not something you sell to the highest bidder.

      Really? A link to the Rachel Madcow blog? You have proven you cannot think for yourself. Tis better to let people think you are a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

        With that kind of attitude, they'll likely sink to the bottom anyway.
        “He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

            So if anyone EVER posts a link to ANY article from ANY source that they tend to agree with now all of a sudden that means they can't think for themselves? Maybe if I were quoting from those whose opinions are from the Right like Rush, Beck, O'Reilly, or Hannity it would be more credible? Did you even bother to read the blog or did you instantaneously roll your eyes because of the source and instantly dismiss it? My guess is you never bothered to even read it. Closed minded much? Pitiful.

              Even though there may be a common theme among the threads that the GOP and Mitt Romney have been telling bold face lies from Day 1 and held the American people and its economy hostage because they don't like the person sitting in the oval office, I thought each deserved its own space so that they didn't get lost in mayhem. ;)

                I read it. For each of her points she sourced herself as evidence, apart from one which sourced herself saying Biden had said the republicans wouldn't work with Obama. But with no evidence. Is that all you have?

                  No, they wouldn't. Because serious posters here on the WAB don't post links to Rush, Beck, Hannity or the rest, to support their argument.

                  It would be like posting links to Carlo Kopp or Mike "Sparky" Sparks to support argument about aircraft or armored vehicles. It's just plain idiotic.

                      There's proof right there that you DIDN'T read it. The blog isn't written by Rachel Maddow, it's written by Steve Bennen. If you bothered to read it you would see embedded within the articles were sources were quotes and links from national newspapers and magazines. Try again.

                        Oh sorry. She got someone else to write on her blog, sourcing her blog as proof. That's better is it?
