Wstera is a deliberate liar. I challenged him to prove I had ever made a false post and he sent me a bunch of smearvets BS claims, all of which have been proven 100% false and misleading. That was his "proof" that I had "lied", the ugliest portions of a smear campaign. Now how silly is that? Maybe he tells the truth once in awhile, but you can't put lipstick on a pig. Once a liar, always a liar as far as I'm concerned. And I'm not talking about white lies. I'm talking about malicious lies. And we see way too much of that these days, especially in our government and the rightwing media. For instance, Drudge released eight phony stories in a row about Kerry, but the right still goes to him for "scoops". WHy? Because he's right 10% of the time? Sean Hannity swore to listeners than Iraqi oil would pay for the entire war and it would bring gas prices down. But the right still listens to that weasel. Bill O'Reilly promised to hold Bush accountable if WMD were never found. He never did. Michelle Malkin claimed Kerry injured himself to get out of combat. Totally baseless lie but she's still a rightwing hero. Anne Coulter called half the country "traitors" who don't deserve free speech, and that McCarthyism was a good thing. Why tolerate that neo-fascist liar? Bush-Cheney have told dozens of obvious lies and you guys still think they're great. So what gives? Honesty doesn't matter anymore? Truth-telling is seen as a sign of weakness or treason by the rightwing? What ever happened to playing fair? Following the rules? Not bearing false witness? Not cheating. Respecting civil liberties or the Constitution? Or wanting a clean environment? Or saving lives? Or cracking down on corporate corruption? Or being fiscally responsible? Does the right see all these noble causes and ethics as signs of "weakness"? We're supposed to be crooks and liars and selfish squanderers instead? Strong but totally wrong? No thanks. This country is way too good to fall for that BS, which is why wstera (and his rightwing heros) owes us a big apology. He deliberately lies and attacks people who tell the (painful) truth. That's dishonest and dishonorable.
