Gretchen Carlson, FOX News: Unemployment has gone up precipitously since he took office.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, DNC Chair: That is simply not true. In fact, unemployment has now dropped below 9%. It's continuing to drop. He's been focused on --

Carlson: It's higher than when they promised the stimulus would lower it to 8%.

Wasserman Schultz: You see, that narrative doesn't work for you anymore, though, because --

Carlson: It's not my narrative. I'm just talking about facts.

Wasserman Schultz: You just said the unemployment rate is going up since Obama took office, and it hasn't.

Carlson: Is unemployment higher since President Obama took office?

Wasserman Schultz: What's happened since President Obama took office --

Carlson: Is unemployment higher than when he took office?

Wasserman Schultz: Unemployment is nearing right around where it was when President Obama took office and it's dropping. You just said it's been increasing and that's not true.

Not likely, since she's had several surgeries for breast cancer, according to her lengthy ( :whatever: ) Wiki article.

I saw that little interview while getting dressed and my TV almost got a high heel put through it.  Lying through her teeth while looking Gretchen straight in the eye.  Nobody's buying it, Blabbermouth-Schultz.

They think they can say any crazy, outrageous lie and get away with it.  Unfortunately they're generally right.

Hi,

I think WE are the ones who should get over it.  By that I mean that libs lie, we all know it, the media knows it and they just consider it good business.  It is how the game is played.

What I think causes most of us concern is how they can lie so obviously and freely and are never called on it or held responsible for what they say.  Then we get the 20 somethings with the TV on in the background hearing their garbage, because they are not forecfully challenged, they believe it to be true.

How many times have we got into a discussion with a liberal and they say things with such conviction they believe to be fact, when they really have no clue as to what they are talking about.  Then when you present them with the facts and call them out they call you mean spirited or something.

We need to stop fretting over what they are doing and just call them out each and every time.  At the same time when we are in contact with members of the media, call them out for the phonies they are as well.

regards,
5412
