#1 The point is not that this is true

Since when has the truth been of any use for the Left and its media minions? For the Progressives, power is the only truth. OMG, he's using their own play book.

#2 It’s a very different sort of lie

You know, the sort that isn't any kind of falsehood at all. Or, in the vernacular, "a fact". Damnable things, facts.

as political analyst David Gergen said on CNN, the speech was slanderous.

You know, "slander", defined in Washington circles as "something that makes me look bad and reveals my actual behavior and interests in a light unflattering, and to my allies' discomfort".

#4 More please, and faster. Please integrate 'white boards' held by Linda Tripp, Juanita Broaddrick, and Paul Jones, as well as web links.

#6 I can think of two outright lies told by the mainstream media right off the top of my head.

First, when ABC and others made such a big deal about Trump's response to a hypothetical question about abortion with Chris Matthews. Matthews asked, if abortion is banned should a women be punished for getting an abortion? Well, duh, if it's banned and there is no punishment what is the point of a ban? So Trump said "Yes". ABC jumped on it claiming simply that Trump wants women to be punished for getting abortions. They showed about two seconds worth of him saying yes without any context whatsoever and completely ignoring the fact that Trump will not ban abortions.

Then last night when CBS aired a story about Brexit they showed Nigel Farage in front of a bus with a picture from when all those young men from Syria and elsewhere were walking into Europe toward Germany. The reporter said the ad showed an "imaginary horde". Dude, that horde was real. I remember watching the video, not on CBS of course. CBS lied. Big time.

#7 Furthermore, if Clinton Cash is libelous, when can we expect the Clintons to sue?

#8 I missed who was terrified. Hidabeest? then there was some truth in it. The media? They'll just have to work the out-of-context a little harder, no big deal.

If the GOPe was terrified, that's good, right?

#9 There's a lesson here: don't be afraid to tell the truth about the progressives, because they aren't afraid to lie about you.
