Obama Lies While Accusing Romney Aide of Lying

Warner Todd Huston @ Publius Forum:

At a recent campaign stop Obama openly lied about what the Romney camp said just as he was claiming the GOP nominee’s campaign is itself filled with lies.

Obama was at a campaign stop in Charlottesville, Virginia when he unleashed an outright untruth claiming that a Romney spokesman was purposefully obviating “the truth” in the campaign. (My bold throughout)

“Sometimes they just make things up,” the President said on the stump. “I mean, somebody was challenging one of their ads — they made it up — about work and welfare. And every outlet said this is just not true. And they were asked about it and they said — one of their campaign people said, ‘We won’t have the fact-checkers dictate our campaign. We will not let the truth get in the way.’”

But Obama’s is a claim that even The New York Times cannot allow to stand.

Mr. Obama was referring, as many other critics of the Romney campaign have, to a comment that its pollster, Neil Newhouse, made to reporters at the Republican convention on Tuesday, dismissive of those faulting the campaign’s television ads. What Mr. Newhouse actually said was, “These fact-checkers come to those ads with their own sets of thoughts and beliefs. We’re not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers.”

Mr. Newhouse did not say, “We will not let the truth get in the way.”

That’s right, even The New York Times had to tell the real truth. Mr. Obama lied when he said that a Romney spokesman wouldn’t let truth get in the way of campaigning.

Derision works well when it is aimed at the facts from the other side.
But when you make up what you SAY the other side says and then deride THAT, it falls flat on its face.
Straw men being derided by their very makers (Obama and his speech writers) only get the attention of fact-checkers.

WHAT IS ONE MORE LIE FOR HIM?
HE WILL CONTINUE TO LIE AS HE DID THE LAST YEARS,
AND SOME OF HIS CREW WILL KNOW HE LIE ,
BUT THEY WANT TO KEEP THEIR JOBS DOING NOTHING TO HELP THE AMERICANS TO SURVIVE,
VOTE DEM OUT,
TIME FOR LETTING THEM GO,

For a complete of Romney’s lies (all 533 of them)—and maybe some of Ryan’s too—see:

shame of you to lie with the liars,
wow and JOSEPH WROTE THAT?
HE IS A PITIFULL RENAGADE WHO RAN AWAY
FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, BECAUSE HE LACK THE GUTS TO FACE THE TRUTH, HE BELONG TO THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE HE LIKE YOU LIKE TO SPIT INSTEAD OF HAVING A DEBATE,
DEBATE ON REAL FACTS.
OBAMA SCRAPPED THE OUTDOOR ARENA FOR PEOPLE,
THEY DON’T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE INTERESTED TO HIS LIES.

Obama saved by Global cooling. The weather caused the acceptance speech to be held indoors. That means the lefties need to fill 14,000 seats instead of 74,000!

Unable to address the lie by his messiah, lib2 resorts to deflection and distraction. Sad really.

I just heard they urge people to stay home and make party in front of the TV WITH NEIGHBORS,
some people already spend on reservation to get there.

@ilovebeeswarzone: I heard it didn’t take much urging to have people stay home! I think there is a rerun of “The Outlaw Jose Wales” on that night!

Randy
yes, the way it’s done, we cannot be impress compare to the REPUBLIC CONVENTION,
THEY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE MAKING STORY BECAUSE THEY HAVEN’T GOT NOTHING TO SAY TO PROMOTE OBAMA,
