Lies and the lying liars who tell them (re. Palin "mistating" Biden comment)

I nearly burst a blood vessel in my head when I read this.

How the hell can she do this? Tell the biggest-ass lie imaginable and not even blink? (Well, she's good at not blinking.) But ... but ... godDAMN.

Fact Check: Palin mistates Biden comment on Obama

TROY, Ohio (AP) -- Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin misrepresented to a campaign audience Thursday what her Democratic counterpart Joe Biden has said about Barack Obama's ability to handle a foreign crisis.

"Sen. Obama's own running mate, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has informed us that a serious international crisis is certain if Obama is elected and that he is not ready to deal with it,'' Palin told thousands of supporters at a rally in this western Ohio city.

That is not what Biden told fundraisers last weekend.

Biden did say, "Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.'' And he asked his audience to be ready to display public support for Obama during such a crisis. But noting that President John Kennedy faced similar early foreign tests, Biden predicted Obama would fare well because he's "got steel in his spine.''

BTW ... Dear Associated Press: That is not a "mistatement." That is a fucking LIE.

4. I Cannot Fathom That They Would Try To Run Her In 2012

But knowing how "those" people are, they will. Incredible to even think of it, yet they are already posturing her for just that. What I cannot fathom is the fact that while still active in the campaign, she has already marginalized herself soon to become completely irrelevant to the American public. But for "that" party I wouldn't put it past them to groom her over the next few years. Dumbasses!

8. I heard that lying POS say that just before I left the house for same-day-surgery today.

Of course, my B/P was too high when I reached the hospital. She actually had me screaming at the TV, wishing her a slow painful death. LOL!

I hope your surgery went well.

11. She lied about Joe Biden. She lied about Troopergate. She lied about McCain's record on deregulation

She lies about everything.

And her lies are easily exposed. Why ANYONE believes ANYTHING she says is beyond me.
