"their kitchen counters aren't made of granite? That's soooooo mean-spirited ..."

Not really. But it is a lie. Like most of the lies, the peddlers didn't know, maybe didn't have any way of knowing. Yet they just made stuff up and presented it as if it were truth. If that isn't lying, what is it?

We aren't talking about distortions. Those can happen, even when no ill is intended. We are not talking about misunderstandings or incomplete information. Just flat out making stuff up. Shorty, for example, made the claim that there was no way those kids were on scholarships. That they were the wrong race for that. He claimed he knew people there and that is how he knows.

Well, the article claims differently.

>OMG Z, their kitchen counters aren't made of granite? That's soooooo mean-spirited ...

You read it the opposite way it was said...

The Republicans tried to accuse the Frosts of being too wealthy to not be able to pay for health care for their kids, implying that they just didn't want to buy it. They sais they HAD granite countertops, as a sign that they were well-off. They weren't. It was a lie. One big fat lie.
