Truth And Lie

by tristero

This is a lie told by a well-known neocon - connected serial liar.
WHILE campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.
This, on the other hand, is. true:
On the eve of his election in 1968, Richard Nixon secretly conspired with the South Vietnamese government to wreck all-party Vietnam peace talks as part of a deliberate effort to prolong a conflict in which more than 20,000 Americans were still to die, along with tens of thousands of Vietnamese and Cambodians.
Notice a pattern? The Republicans commit treason but lie that Democrats do. Republicans lied that Gore claimed he invented the Internet - search the Daily Howler to learn Gore never said such a thing - and then turn around and assert, with an absolutely straight face, as dday noted, that McCain helped create the Blackberry.

Up-is-downism is too kind. It doesn't capture the blatantly corrupt mentation that lies at the heart of this kind of deplorable trash.
