I’ve noticed in recent televised encounters with
liberal spokespersons that they argue and quote the same wrong “facts” every
time they are challenged when debating with a conservative. Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives who
monitor such things have played montages of liberal newscasters and pundits
stating the same exact leftist talking-point phrases, almost to the letter,
about current events, that prove they are given daily guidance from their political
leaders and then slavishly follow those orders.
For example leading up to the George Bush election, on one occasion nine
liberal newscasters and commentators used a phrase about Bush having no “gravitas”. I had never heard any of them use the word
gravitas before, but on that day all of them used the same word, and some of
them used the same entire phrase to impugn Bush. And this is just one of many examples of
liberals obviously being told what to say, and some were so lazy that they used
the entire phrase shoved at them without making any individualized
modifications to it in order to make it at least somewhat fresh. This slavish
reporting could be an indication that liberals are not very smart, or at least they
are not trusted by their betters to stick to the party line, but have to have the
“facts” pumped to them even if the facts are wrong.
Some other examples of liberals being given talking
points and not varying from the party line are:
When
Bob Beckel was on the Fox program The Five, he would repeatedly make a statement about Obamacare that
would be refuted by the conservatives on the panel. Each time he would ask where they got the
evidence of their position and each time he was told that the New York Times
had reported the fact and that maybe he should read his own party newspaper once
in a while and he would learn something.
But thereafter, each time that the same subject came up Beckel would
again quote his incorrect “fact” and argue with the other panel members that
his wrong statement was indeed correct, and they would again tell him their information
came from the New York Times. I have no doubt that Beckel is still stating that
Obamacare is working great and that everyone is happy with it and it’s a great success,
and he’s still wrong.
Charlie
Rose was interviewing Marco Rubio recently and was shocked
when Rubio said Hillary had lied to the American people about the nature and source
of the attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans working there. Rose was stunned that Rubio would call
Hillary a liar so Rubio had to tell Rose that the House Committee questioning Hillary
about the Benghazi disaster had found emails sent from Hillary to her daughter
and to an Egyptian diplomat admitting that it was an organized, military-style attack,
but that she later went on television and told the American people that it was
just a spontaneous demonstration about the offensive video that had briefly
been on the internet. It would not surprise me at all if Charlie Rose, if asked
today about the Benghazi murders of four Americans, would sincerely tell you
the bad video caused it and that Hillary came out of the House hearings in good
shape.
It’s
been proven, using Senate personnel pay records, that
Hillary paid females on her Senate staff less than she paid her male employees. Yet Hillary is always applauded by her
adoring audiences when she shoots her mouth off about the scandal of women
being paid less than men. She shows no shame at all for telling the lie and
implicitly stating that of course she always paid employees the same wage. Has she
no shame? Are her supporters so stupid and uninformed that they don’t know the
truth? But it’s a fact that liberals
never have to face real statistics, they just call the party line a fact and
press on. Unfortunately it appears that liberals are liars and that they prefer
to tell lies to support their causes, and they prefer Hillary because they like
a lying candidate who gets away with it, just like old Bill did.
Liberals
always wring their hands and moan about the minimum wage being
too low to support a family. When told
that the low wage was never intended to support a family but rather provides an
entry level position for young people to begin their careers before moving on
to a better, higher paying job, they will never admit the truth and give in to the
logic of minimum wages being only a starting point in a career and the reason
for the low pay. When they insist that
the minimum wage should be $15.00 an hour they refuse to understand the common
sense logic that raising the minimum wage makes the cost of everything we buy increase,
thereby negatively impacting the lowest paid among us the hardest and worst.
And forget trying to make liberals understand that businesses have limited
money to spend on wages and that when the minimum wage is raised you reduce the
number of minimum wage earners that can be employed, meaning that several
low-paying positions may have to be eliminated when the wage of the position is
increased.
Liberals seem to be unable to admit they are wrong and
seem to be unable to stop lying about their “facts”. Obama still struts onto a
stage and takes credit for giving the nation Obamacare, although the premiums
and deductibles are so high that many people who prior to the ACA were able to
use their insurance, are now not able to afford to use it under Obama’s fraudulent
plan.
Any fact that’s contrary to a position held by a
liberal will be ignored by that liberal
and the actual fact that disproves the liberal “fact” will be discarded and forgotten
immediately. Whether liberals are only
out to win an argument or are fearful of accepting a position contrary to their
distorted talking points is uncertain, but it is certain that a position of national
political leadership with a liberal occupying that position is a dangerous
thing because liberals refuse to learn and will never admit they are
wrong. They just keep pressing forward
and making a bad situation worse instead of solving the issue.
Additional examples of liberal lies from the top guy,
repeated over and over and over:
You can keep your doctor. You can keep your plan. The
average family will save $2500 a year on health coverage. No boots on the
ground. All lies, told by the president of the United States, lying directly to
the citizens of the (formerly) freest nation on earth, and in spite of all the
problems with Obamacare, this man will not admit to there being any problems at
all.
