3. I couldn't understood going so far to even deny a politician lied

It is pretty easy to prove most -- mainstream especially have told a lie it is certainly easy to show what they're omitting when saying this or how the way they said it is very misleading (Bill O'Reilly. Tells a lot of half-truths as well as an outright lies). Bill O'Reilly shouting at a 9/11 victim family member how Bill O'Reilly has done way more than the 9/11 victim's families than he could ever hope to which was wrong on so many levels but had nothing to do with his other claims (such as I'm glad your father isn't here to see you on here saying this stuff which said he actually wasn't a fan of Bush and felt the 2000 election of Bush was illegitimate) but as soon as Glick was about to mention Reagan/Bin Laden/Soviets Bill O'Reilly knew exactly where this was heading and was so desperate to cover up something that is practically indisputable (IOW, not a conspiracy theory) so eventually he "cut his mike out of respect for his father" which strike me as falling short of crossing a line violently, I don't see how you could be more disrespectful to anyone involved.

This is more of a lighter note but Stephen A Smith & Sean Hannity who was obsessing over something Obama did or say that may or may not have been lie can't remember what but Stephen A was defending whatever it was he said and defending the contradict (I'm pretty sure it was a statement regarding the topic of racism. I don't think it had anything policy was. Obama tends to add his 2 cents regarding topics of national interest such as "deflategate&quot but Hannity said, "you agree he lied then" or basically made the argument Obama told a lie then and Stephen A said "Of course he lied, what politician doesn't lie?"

I couldn't tell if Hannity was dead serious and it was very hard to tell because he delivered with a similar kind of a facial expression like Al Franken but they cut to commercial after Hannity answered "Reagan" which led to Stephen A cracking up like I never heard him laugh so hard.

Its very conservative where I live & I also happened to go to the Iraq War myself. I haven't run into this much lately but at first a lot of younger people I knew before & shortly after seemed disappointed. They thought I'd be one of those buy & defend the lies, not to mention the decision to even go there. I wish I was as familiar with Wahabbism (I had no idea why or what sect Al-Qaeda brand of terrorists & dictators belonged to or even that many things are in contrary with traditional Islam--they oppose the Hajj for example) as I am now because my realization of that & given that Saddam was a secular dictator (gave West Boro Baptist permission to hold an anti-gay protest in Baghdad in the run-up to the invasion. It just doesn't compute, especially when he launched an invasion of a country ran by Wahabbi dictators (kuwait)
