But the purpose will actually be for them to know and to be able to blackmail you or use whatever information they have about you and your treatment." (June 18, 2009, rushlimbaugh.com;

'Blackmail' is one of those racist expressions in need of a change, right?
Who has a better and more acceptable word?

>>> Instead of contorted arguments, just read and defend the list..

You've got a man who has been on the air 3 hours a day for 20 years, and this is all you've got?

Each of the items you listed falls into one of three categories --

a) Demonstrably true;
b) Sarcasm; or
c) Opinion

NOT ONE OF THESE ITEMS IS "DEMONSTRABLY FALSE". Unfortunately, you didn't provide working links so we can't see the context.

For example:

"they save money two ways when elderly people die. One, you don't get health care anymore, but also you are no longer on the Social Security rolls."


and


"...Obama actually once voted to withhold treatment from infants who survived abortions."


These are both unquestionably true statements. Yet, you have thrown them out as either a distortion or a lie. They aren't.

On the other hand, the following remark:

Obama "wants us to have the same health care and plan that he had in Kenya."

is a clear example of sarcasm being treated as a lie or distortion by you, the nutjob left.

inode makes a good point about sarcasm not being a lie. Others are true statements or just differences of opinion. And again even if some of them are false, false doesn't equal lie, neither does "distortion". (A severe deliberate distortion would be dishonest, and would often be a lie, but wouldn't necessarily be one, you can create a distorted impression with selective selection of true information, and doing so isn't lying)
