When did Spin become bald-faced Lies and how is that acceptable?
Every time a three-legged-dog walks down the street a thousand different stories can be told about it. One side might spin it this way and the other side might spin it that way but after the story was told you wouldn't think it was a four-legged-dog. At least there was some thread of truth that stayed with the story. No more.
Now in the face of compelling evidence available to anyone anytime out and out lies are told and continue to be told even in the face of contradictory and irrefutable evidence. For instance, just yesterday the President assured a questioner that there would be no "Death Panels".
Seeing as how no bill will become law without his signature one might consider his word, spoken at this public event and broadcast round the world, sound evidence. But no, the same lies are being repeated today.
How did this happen? When did lieing become the normal way for opposition to be mounted.
Oh, I dunno. Who was the first Democrat candidate for a public office?

3. And now also being repeated by Republican Senators as fact.
I just learned that on MSNBC.
Agreed, it's astounding.

4. And these are the same fools who will say this country was founded on the bible
Then turn around a lie like the devil and never think a thing about it.
Do these fools really believe they'll give an account to God for their lying?
