More evidence that you are dishonest.

You are supposedly conservative, have never watched Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, etc., and claim that liberals always call them liars without giving examples. Then one is provided, and you say you've just become a loyal follower, just because of the post.

You are transparent and silly.

If you want to speak about that SPECIFIC statement that Bill O made in his 'letters' segment - he admits he was wrong adds that US soldiers committed atrocities after that incident. - AND does that fall into that category of "to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive"???

No, he made up the bit about U.S. soldiers committing atrocities after Malmedy to cover his butt. I'm not sure why O'Reilly felt it necessary to trash and slander american G.I's, but he did. As a fan of his, perhaps you could explain it to me.

The lie he told was egregious. Anybody who knows even the basics about World War II is familiar with the Malmedy Massacre. Hell, you just had to watch 'Battle of the Bulge' with Henry Fonda to be aware of it.

He lied to make a point and got caught at it.

And he told the lie about massacred American Prisoners of War. Shameful.

I"m glad I'm not the only one who sees through that.

Scream "race card" all you want but the true motivations behind the anger directed at the Obama administration is quite clear. Why deny it? Are you afraid of being seen as "politically incorrect"?

Did you ever hear President Bush, when in office, or Mitch McConnell or John Boehner make fun of Paul Krugman, Maureen Dowd, Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Jon Stewart, or anybody on Air America? Did you ever hear Bush whine about any of those personalities when he was in office? Do you know any conservative groups that have thrown pies at liberal campus speakers to silence them on the stage? What's the first thing Nancy pelosi did when she saw a bunch of middle class and many older americans in a peaceful protest on spending and healthcare reform? She called them a name (Astroturf) to marginalize them and dismiss their concerns. If liberal politicians really thought Limbaugh, Beck and Hannity are the names they call them, then they must also think their own base is too stupid to figure it out for themselves, by listening to them. You know, only racist, intolerant, astroturfing, sexist idiots listen to Hannity, Limbaugh or Beck. That's what they want you to think. You should be curious but if you have been listening to liberal media all of your life, you probably think it's mainstream, and that's why what Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh may scare you.
I just came to the conclusion all the name call is about fear. To me the only thing the left would need to fear would be if they were telling the truth.

I am conservative on some issues and very liberal on others. The only ones in here I have seen calling them liars are liberals. I did not see a lie in any of those videos. To be a lie you would have to say it while knowing it was a lie.
Seems the left loves calling people liars, the right loves to call Obama a liar.

I have not seen these guys (only clips here) but can judge if they lie or not. If they do I will know why i never watched them and will not watch them again.

having never really listened to them except clips here, I find the pure hate and character assassination the left does to these guys make me much more intrigued to start to listen to them. I see people call them liars but they never put down what they lied about.

I am starting to think that the left really has fear of them, otherwise they would not be the topic of attacks.
Might push me to wards watching them and see what they have to say.
I pointed out in several posts how Beck is a hypocrit, but "the right" on CD ignored my posts and my links. So please don't say that noone ever showed how they lied or are hypocrites.

Utter rubbish,just the same old tired whining that the left uses to try and explain opposition to Obama policies.Except for a handfull of bigots,it has nothing to do with racial makeup and everything to do with ideology and agendas.As for the non PC remark,I relish being labeled as "politically incorrect",and often go out of my way to flaunt it.Not uncommon to vote for a third party candidate when the GOP candidate is almost as big a nitwit as is the Dim candidate.
