The Red Pill

Once again, the Democrats and Bush-haters can't understand what it means to be a liar. Worse is that in attempting to make their point they are themselves reduced to lying. A lie of ommission is no less a lie. In fact taking pieces of quotes or taking quotes out of context seems to be a favorite tool of the media. But they're not bias, oh no. But Fox News, now that's supposed to be bias. This is getting away from the main point, but I watch both CNN and Fox and I can more easily detect liberal bias in CNN's news than on Fox. There is certainly conservative bias to be found on Fox - BUT it is CLEARLY identified as such, e.g. Hannity and Colmes has both a conservative and a liberal. Even my favorite show - Special Report w/Brit Hume - has clear conservative leanings at the end of the show during the panel discussion. But it is not hidden or passed off as news - it is clearly opinion. CNN on the other hand presents their liberal bias as though it were straight news. The good news is that CNN seems to be learning from Fox - more often now I see two experts being interviewed, one liberal and one conservative - they used to only have one expert (liberal) who was never identified as being liberal.

The commercial says:
"Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

Bush really said:

"The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

Boortz on Democrat Lies:
My outrage today is focused on this incredible television ad the Demcorats are running in Minnesota. Soon it will be seen in other major cities across the nation. The title of the commercial is "Truth." The commercial seeks to put across the point that President Bush lied to the American people in his State of the Union speech.

The "lie," of course, is supposed to be those now-famous 16 words. You probably have those words memorized, but here they are for those of you with short attention spans:

"The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

That statement is true. It is not a lie. The British government is standing by its intelligence assessment to this very day. So, the Democrats want to take a statement which has been verified as true, and somehow turn it into a lie in their TV commercial. Just how do you go about that? Easy, you just eliminate the first five words. On the Democrats television commercial you will see Bush simply say "Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

This is blatantly dishonest. The Democrats are showing you that they will lie in order to gain some political advantage -- in this case, raising funds. But where is the media outrage? I can't watch every television news show, but on those that I have watched only one news program has pointed out that the Demcorats eliminated five words from this quote to completely change its meaning. That news channel was, of course, Fox News. Liberals will tell you that by showing what the Demcorats did with this quote Fox News Channel is proving its right-wing bias.

Whether you recognize it or not, America faces perilous times right now. We have the war against terrorism in the Middle East, and North Korea on the other side of the globe. The fact is, the American military does not have the manpower to face both threats. This may well lead to a form of capitulation in North Korea. (Thanks, Jimmy Carter!) While we face these difficult and dangerous times the leftist Democrats are working to use lies, half-truths and deceit to undermine the reputation and the very authority of George Bush. The Democrats are showing that not even the security of the United States ranks above their obsession over lost power. These people are dangerous. They will destroy America to regain political power. If you support them through money or votes you may well be part of the destruction of everything our founding fathers fought to create.
