Alter on McCain's lying: "It's a learning curve for him to get up to speed on the new rules."

Edited on Mon Jun-09-08 07:29 PM by Gabi Hayes

the 'new rules' being that if you LIE on tape, they're going to come up with it pretty fast these days.

he didn't say, of course, that McCain has been caught lying, but that's what they showed.

Alter says that only in the last two years have such things been instantly available, and that in 2000 he did this sort of thing all the time, but the tapes were in M$M vaults, inaccessible.

no longer the case.

it's really time to keep a lie-track, updated whenever he's not ''up to speed on the new rules"

Feb. 10, 2000 Mr. McCain swore off negative advertising after this campaign event in Spartanburg at which a woman told him that her 13-year-old son had taken a call from a pollster who called Mr. McCain a liar and a cheat.

2. I think Time Magazine was right when they made "You(tube)" person of the year.

If we can manage to keep the Internet free and open the Repukes might never win again.

5. exactly. that was Alter's point, but he wouldn't come right out and say he was lying.

KO should start doing a segment on this. As you said, there's miles of tape, and he should start presenting a clip a day, as there will be more than enough to keep them coming, especially as Walnuts seems still be adding them almost every day.

do you want ANOTHER congenital liar as president?

remember Safire got away with calling Hillary that when her hubby was in office. I think WJC threatened to punch him out.

7. but they're savvy enough to get the M$M to spend WAY MORE time on

stories like the fist bump, which conveniently advances the islamoterror meme.

very swiftboatian, yes?

amazing what those asskissers concentrate on. hardly a word yet in the M$M, though, about the fricking Phase II Senate report.

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&tab=wn&ncl=1219433122

you'll note that there are only TWO news stories on this today. TWO!!!

contrast that with the Paula Jones/Monica stories.

makes me more than sick to my stomach
