When is a lie not a lie?

New stuff from www.tvnewslies.org

The media certainly have developed a few more euphemisms for Bush administration lies than what were around in November 2000.

" The following are among the most creative words used

exaggerate - As in exaggerate the threat that Iraq posed, as in Iraq was not quite the threat to the U.S. that we were led to believe. (This term is most common replacement for �lie.�)

twist - As in twisted intelligence, as in lied about the conclusions of the intelligence reports so as not to represent truthfully the findings of the reports.

misstate - As in Bush made misstatements on Iraq WMDs, as in Bush made mistruths, as in Bush lied. (This one is my favorite!)

overstretch the fact - As in overstretching the fact about Iraq, as in overdoing it in trying to come up with another term for lying.

distort some evidence - As in distort some evidence so that the truth about the evidence is not disclosed

bluffed - As in Powell bluffed the UN, as in Powell lied to the UN.

manipulating - As in Ex-CIA Accuse Bush of Manipulating Iraq Evidence, as in manipulating/tampering with evidence is a crime in itself.

credibility gap - As in no credibility. As in the boy who cried wolf. As in the boy who lied about the wolf. As in the boy president who lied about Iraq, and about everything else. You will see this term all over. The phrases that will be uttered in conjunction when discussing the Bush/PNAC administration will be cridiblity gap, terror, axis of evil and WMDs. When I discuss them I will assosciate the phrases damn lyars, war, unemployment, environmental disaster, anti-Americanism, and overall gloom!

overselling - As in overselling the facts. CNN has adopted this term.

More to come - Stay tuned.

LIE: TIME TO EXPOSE THE TRICK

Magic acts are illusions, not reality. Still, when skillfully performed, they convince many people that the rabbit really lives in the hat. George W. Bush has consistently LIED. He LIED when he told the people of Poland that we had found the WMD�s in the form of harmless vans. He LIED when he told us that Saddam Hussein was an imminent threat to our safety. He LIED when he said (eleven times in his SOTU speech) that Iraq was connected to the terrorists who attacked the US on 9/11. He LIED about aluminum tubes, uranium purchases, tons of chemical and biological weapons, and about his motives for invading a sovereign nation. He LIED about his support of the troops whose benefits he cut. He LIED about his education program, his AIDS concerns and his support of women�s rights. He LIED to the Congress about exhausting every diplomatic means before using his war powers. He LIED yesterday. He continues to LIE today. He will LIE tomorrow. But we can pull the curtain back to expose the wizard.
