If someone posts a demonstrable lie or falsehood, or continues to post a demonstrable lie or falsehood, is it ok to label that person as a liar?

If not, why is it ok to post a blatant lie or falsehood in the first place, or to keep repeating the lie or falsehood?

1. We consider it a personal attack to call a person a liar

If you see someone posting a lie then we prefer you to go after the post itself and refute it with facts. This is because our rules are based around the idea that it's okay to attack ideas but not people.

"Facts? They're posting facts. We can't be using no facts to dispute their claims. We can only call it a lie, a damn lie and them liars. Have you lost your ever loving liberal mind!"
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
