Well again, he probably thought that was true. So he was just wrong.

Excellent thread....it seems that if Republicans are moving their lips...they're lying.

Obama has yet to close Guantanamo.

FOXNews won a court case that allows them to lie freely and without consequence. That should give you direction as to who is doing what.

The thing the Dem's like doing most is NOT paying taxes.

Lie threads are not very productive but they do show some of the lies politicans make and they should be held accountable.

Now to hold up my end on lies, here's some Obama lies.

Ahhh, so you are aware that it was a local Fox affiliate named in the suit. Not Fox News, the national cable news network. But yet, you still implied that Fox News (the national cable news network) can now lie with impunity.......Typical. :rolleyes:

Could you please highlight the portions of the lawsuit which state that Fox News (the national cable news network) can, "lie freely and without consequence"? Please be specific.

Isn't FOX FOX?

In fact no, you are confusing the FOX News Channel with New World Communications, who was the defendent in the case. But really, does it matter?

You're about 235 years late. The right to free speech and free press (including lieing) has been legally confirmed since they put it in the constitution. Previous to that it was only god given, or a natural right.

considering that poltifact is a far Left site, I'd like to see the breakdown on the numbers of the people polled by party.

lol...Righties approving lying to the public and pegging it as news.

Nice!
