Lies and the Lying Liars

by: Dean Barker

(I suppose I deserve this for commenting yesterday that I haven't been to NHInsider for years.)

So during my early morning Google Alerts perusuals I saw that my post calling out Mike Huckabee for his attempt to out-Palin Sarah Palin on the death panel lies was itself called out on Insider.

And proof that Huckabee was right about Obama wanting to put little old ladies to death was offered in the way of this YouTube vid.

A vid so obviously sliced and diced to create a false, lying impression it amazes me anyone could believe it.  Surely there are better video editors out there who know how to cut and paste more realistically?

It didn't take more than a minute to find the actual, unedited clip (starting around 3:40):


It's not a terribly exciting exchange. But at least when watching it I can remain confident that the Happy-Go-Lucky Huckabee of the '08 primary has turned into the Say Anything FOXNews Governor Mike Huckabee, if he's using this to claim that Obama wants your grandmother to die before her time.

On that disappointing transformation, I highly recommend this piece.  And I repeat: I sure hope someone will call Huckabee on this contemptuous lie when he comes a knockin' in New Hampshire for the primary.

the country during the last several decades have made an awful mess.  We will try to fix it.  Just hold tight.
