Nice job, Sarge! The right wing response to the OP was as predictable as sunrise and you and others did an excellent job of demolishing these silly knee-jerk positions.

William Ayers, the 'left-wing' Annenbergs. My God!

These people really are clueless, aren't they?

I guess you didn't read the thread and just jumped on the partisan train.

Yeah, way to go!

Yes, of course I can provide that for you. The above list is a short list of Obama's lies.

Did you happen to check if these "lies" are mentioned in any fact check articles? Did you happen to notice or grasp the sheer volume of pure fabrications from the republicans as opposed to "lies"?

I have noticed your list of "lies" don't seem to point to anything supporting the "lies". Just assert, assert, assert. Somebody remind me, where have I seen that before?

1. Intentions (like to close Gitmo) which are not fulfilled are not lies.

2. All this stuff about Annenberg is ad hominem. Can folks deal with the fact that many GOP statements have been found to be knowingly false?

Look at my list. I think that those are "whoppers". He IS the president, not George Bush.

Intentions??!! Is that we are down to now? I had intended to go to church Christmas Eve, but it was snowing and I was tired, so I blew it off. Am I square because I thougth about it? It is interesting how the dems try to justify Obama's failures, just like "saved jobs".


Here is the list again. He is your guy, not mine, but I would be a little embarrassed. Bush is looking great in comparison. Hell, Carter looks good in comparison.

1. Man made global warming is real

2. Gitmo will close at the end of 2009

3. No taxes will be increased on people making less than $250K

4. The Senate and House health bill will not add one dollar to the deficit

5. The "stimulus" will see a drop in unemployment and jobs gains in 6 months

6. The senate health care plan will pay for itself by cuts in medicare, but there will be no cuts in medicare and health for seniors will improve as a result

7. Most physicians support a national healthcare system ( only 60% of AMA members, who are only 20% of physicians and the most liberal, support national healthcare).

8. NAFTA will be re-evaluated and re-negotiated.

You think its a bit of a stretch that people who sever on boards together, and have dinner with each other would know one another?

But yet a picture showing someone shaking hands, you have no problem assuming they know one another..

I mean really.. Do you ever stop and think before you post about how ridiculous these claims make you appear?

You know, of course, that you're just gonna confuse them by talking sense?
