X,
You are exactly correct in that statement. The right wing has a horrible habit. It never stops lying. Ever.
Here's another perfect example. C-SPAN just featured Andy Card, the White House Chief of Staff. He was giving a speech at the Federalist Society, a very right wing bunch.
During the speech, he rewrote the history of the morning of 9/11. Two lies were obvious. The first was that he came up with a polished cover story for Card's conversation with Bush about the first airliner to hit the World Trade Center, but before Bush entered the classroom at Booker Elementary. Card spun a story about how they'd thought a general aviation pilot had suffered a heart attack. This is the first time in two years that that "story" has surfaced. Sounds like PR spin to my ears. Secondly, and a much more serious lie was that Card said that Bush "immediately" reacted to news of the second airliner attack on the WTC. I don't know what planet Card lives on. Here on earth "immediately" means within a few seconds. George Bush is caught on video, looking like a stone faced zombie after Card spoke to him. And Bush did not get out of that chair for 15-20 minutes! That's not quite immediately, in the English language. But in the twisted world of spin, lies and deceit, Card is no longer able to deal in reality.
Perhaps the whole lot of them in the White House are sincere, but simply insane. They certainly are masterful liars. Or at least consistent about it.
BTW, here's my favorite rant-of-the-day:

It's a joke to look back on the lies that Clinton told the country about his sexual behavior, in light of the lies coming out of Washington, DC over the past 2 years. Clinton was actually impeached for those harmless lies regarding his problems keeping his pants on?!?
Now, we've got a President who lies routinely. Who lies about really important stuff regarding all of our national security. There have been so many lies and retractions and changes of stories surrounding 9/11 that it really makes me wonder if anything coming out of DC these days can be trusted. We have a President who lied about our reasons for going to war and has caused the death of at least 350 servicemen and women to date and countless suffering for their families and friends.
No talk of impeachment for these really harmful lies, lies that have caused Americans to suffer and die, lies that have compromised our national security, made our country a less safe place to live, and has hurt our standing in the world community. Amazing! This country really is screwed up. We impeach a man for lying about his sexual escapades and don't even mention the "I" word concerning a man that has caused death, suffering and a major loss of prestige for our country as a result of his lying.
Bush's Record going in 2004:
3 million jobs lost
Surplus to biggest deficit in history
Relatively peaceful period, to period of endless war
Worst terrorist attacks in our nation's history
Routine lying and unprecedented secrecy
Lying about our reasons for going to war
And the American people might actually re-elect this guy. I mean come on people, wake up, President Bush has got to be about the worst thing ever to happen to our country in recent memory. He does not deserve to be re-elected. He serves a constiuency (ths super rich) who couldn't give a rats ass about everyone else in America. They're moving our jobs overseas and rolling back our social progress made since the early 20th Century, bring us into to war for THEIR benefit. The lunatics are running the asylum and will continue to do so until the American sheeple wake up. Which apparently will NEVER happen. It took the American people five years or more to wake up to the fraud known as Viet Nam. Apparently, they never learned any lessons from that debacle. |
