Why are you even reading this thread, then, let alone blathering in it?

Anyway, here's a relevant observation from Bob Somerby:

In August 2005, Paul Krugman repeated a joke—a five-year-old joke which is now semi-famous.

“I once joked that if President Bush said that the Earth was flat, the headlines of news articles would read, ‘Opinions Differ on Shape of the Earth,’ ” Krugman wrote. He’d unveiled the joke in November 2000, a few days before the Bush-Gore election, explaining why Candidate Bush had been allowed to make obvious, repeated misstatements about his proposals for Social Security.

If George Bush said the earth was flat, would journalists write, “Opinions differ?” At this point, possibly not. But the New York Times came pretty darn close to doing just that in a news article about climate change on the front page of last Thursday’s paper.

John Broder (no relation) wrote the report. It concerned the various pseudo-conservative claims about last week’s record snowstorms in Washington. Did those storms debunk climate change theory—did they debunk global warming? Opinions differ, Broder seemed to say, in a report which seemed to come straight out of Paul Krugman’s joke bin.

Opinions differ!

The other side's lies are so bad they make us feel good about the lies we tell on our side. Compared with them our lies aren't really lies at all.

Compared with lies, not-lies are not lies. Thanks for clearing that up.

What's this got to do with Obama?

Oh, lord.

Everyone, I apologize for starting a thread that has only served to give ITSOZAZ yet another thread to troll in, and make all about himself.

I should've just breathed into a paper bag instead of typing the OP.

She's saying, "Power & money, my ass. You got a Harvard law degree to do pro bono work in the frickin' ghetto?"

[Adam]

She's speaking a Mooslim dialect of Indo-Kenyan Socialist. They're a primitive people, incapable of any speech beyond "bugsbugsbugs" and "death to America!". In this case, she obviously meant to say "Death to America!", making her "bugsbugsbugs" response a lie, proving yet again that [group ITSOZAZ disapproves of] and [other group ITSOZAZ disapproves of] are all. the. same.

No worries. The same might be said for every single thread evar.

Politifact's five-page list of Pants-on-Fire truth-o-meter rulings: 84 Right, and 16 Left*.

FactCheck's Whoppers of 2009 list: 11 Right, 6 Left, and 2 indeterminate (HN1N twice). I counted Cap-and-Trade job claims as lies for both.

*"Left" primarily in US political terms; many of the mentioned, including Obama, both Clintons, Edwards, and Biden hold positions considered Center-Right in many other nations.

They like their piles of bullshit big 'n' exceptionally malodorous in the Ol' Dominion:

"The number of children who are born subsequent to a first abortion with handicaps has increased dramatically. Why? Because when you abort the first born of any, nature takes its vengeance on the subsequent children," said [Virginia State Delegate Bob] Marshall, a Republican.

[Ymir's blood]

God never had a problem with killing the first born before.

[Garnet]

Anyone have a hat I can puke in?

[Watser?]

Because when you abort the first born of any, nature takes its vengeance on the subsequent children," said Marshall, a Republican.

"In the Old Testament, the first born of every being, animal and man, was dedicated to the Lord. There's a special punishment Christians would suggest."

And by 'dedicated to the Lord' they meant sacrificed. So why go through all the trouble of giving birth and all when you can 'dedicate' it right away? Abortion is a good deed unto the Lord.

Nevertheless, I regret any misimpression my poorly chosen words may have created as to my deep commitment to fighting for these vulnerable children and their families."

Del. Marshall says abortion remark misconstrued, apologizes - washingtonpost.com

This also interested me:

The VCU study he referred to was published in 2008 in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health and suggested that there is a higher risk of premature birth and low birth weight in children borne by women who have had an abortion.
