When you think about Dumbya’s lie about WMDs in Iraq, and the consequences of that lie (thousands killed and trillions of dollars pissed away), an erroneous soundbite seems trivial. But this is really about Fux Noise and their endless need to stir up the turds in the Fux Nation cesspool of hate.

Lie of the year?
It seems that a certain moron stood in a flightsuit declaring ‘Mission Accomplished’ a few years back, and Fox didn’t complain then. Nor did they mourn all those that died needlessly because of the lies of that Republican administration.
Like Aria says…Fuck these people.

Not sure why they’re hoping for a “read my lips, no new taxes” moment since Obama can’t run for re-election in 2016. The only “moment” that came about from Bush the Elder’s sudden moment of clarity and return to Earth where taxes actually pay for government operations was a lot of GOP purists sat out the 1992 election—or went completely bonkers and voted for Perot—thereby allowing Clinton to become President. Since Obama can’t run—by law—for another term, there’s no real political downside to his comment. (And, if you want to believe the far right’s most nutty concern—that Obama will somehow turn into a dictator and just prevent a Presidential election*—the moment isn’t important either, for rather obvious reasons: A dictator doesn’t care what the public thinks.)

It is rather intriguing though that PolitiFact’s own explanation notes that there’s less of a deliberate effort to willfully lie on Obama’s part and more on the problem with the whole soundbite culture: “Boiling down the complicated health care law to a soundbite proved treacherous, even for its promoter-in-chief.”

*I’m not really sure why the far-right thinks Obama will try to prevent a Presidential election but they’re not overly concerned about his cancelling any other elections. Nor does it make sense for GOP state legislatures and governors to go out of their way to make it harder to vote if we’re going to see Dictator Obama emerge in the next few years.

Think this will put a dent in Fox's “the liberal media is in the tank for Obama?” meme? Nah, me neither.
