If you're wondering why I don't use the L-word ("liar," not "lesbian"), it's because, as Daniel Henninger states at the Wall Street Journal today, "liar" is
Lot_49's resurrection of “stickle” as a political tool is odious because it has such a repellent pedigree. It dates to the sleazy world of fascist and totalitarian propaganda in the post just above.
Wait a minute...guys who went to jail or Canada or got truly religious-based conscientious objector status (like Quakers) "objected" to the war. But when he came to the confidence course of military service, Bill took the pussy path around it. I love him as much as anybody, but he weaseled out of conscription when others opposed it honorably.
Let's look at Hopey's record in this regard. Pretty sure the warrantless searches are still going on, and Gitmo's still open for business (although Barry tried to close it, even if not very hard). Torture's "officially" over, and the Dems don't call their opponents traitors. So far so good. The death-from-above drone kills won't garner him another trip to Stockholm, though.

i believe it is actually the bible that talks about power in naming things (well, and jk rowling).
so fuck you WSJ. mitt romney's entire campaign has been one big lie and that is not way to choose a president.
Or "spawn of polygamists"?
Nailed it!
If we're going to include WSJ op-Ed writers, we may have to expand the definition of "liar."
I think we'll get 'em all with my definition, but we might need a bigger boat.
ETA: although, you might have a point in that most of them seem not in the slightest to know what they're saying most of the time.
All true. Guess I just like to stickle.
Oooh. Thanks for that reminder.
