Feb 2014

this is not a comment on a blog. It's an article that will become visible via a number of sites.

I still can't get anyone to answer if they think that opposing policy warrants this:

"I believe President Obama...is a Hall-of-Fame worthy bullshit artist. I believe the sooner people see this truth for what it is, the better. He is not your friend. He is selling you out."

The first part is overwrought BS. Is the second part hyperbole, or does the author really want everyone who doesn't hate the President already to wake up to the reality that they should?

I mean, think about what it's based on, loose facts. When has Obama ever talked about "the environment while pushing the Keystone pipeline"?

Obama is "selling you out" and should be treated as the enemy because someone makes up stuff.

LOL!

They seem to be upset about the use of "Bullshit Artist" as a synonym for "Liar". Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2014 #212

Maybe because "Bullshit Artist" **IS** a synonym for "Liar". baldguy Feb 2014 #292

Actually, ProSense Feb 2014 #171

A bullshit artist is a bullshit artist. Even if he has a (D) after his name. Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2014 #180

Still doesn't make the claim you made valid. ProSense Feb 2014 #182

You prefer "Snake Oil Salesman"? Or, just plain "Liar"? Of course, "Politician" would do. Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2014 #189

Are you having trouble understanding that it's still just name calling? n/t ProSense Feb 2014 #190

So, give me a "name" you prefer to Bullshit Artist? I gave you options. Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2014 #193

So, it's the style of saying liar not the substance of saying liar? Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2014 #353

It is a poorly researched diatribe against loosely connected phenomena Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #356

Sooo...Obama had nothing to do with what Will pointed out? Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2014 #377
