Trump is busted for lying again - and what does he do?

Post by _Kevin Graham »

Well, of course, he doubles down on the lie and insists he isn't lying.

He recalls a fictional incident that never happened and he does so to do what the Right Wing does best - drive fear and hatred into the hearts of Americans.

Trump on Muslim claim: 'I'm not going to take it back'

His claim is easily refuted, yet he doesn't budge. He absolutely refuses to be wrong and he thinks he can bully his way to being right no matter what the facts are shown to be.

What fascinates me about this more than anything isn't his willingness to lie, but rather the many followers who are willing to "remember" the same fictional incident that never happened. This is very much like a cult blindly going along with whatever their cult leader says.

Actually this is an example of how Liberals like Kevin G. likes to lie.....
Because.....

We conservatives think Trump is seriously wrong in this, and should appologize for a big mistake.
I'm not aware of really anything else Trump has lied about.

Even Brietbart has debunked Trump http://www.breitbart.com/big-government ... unfounded/
So, tell us again how we are a "cult"??? Clearly we can see the actual truth and facts of things quite clearly.
Me, I'm a fan of Cruz.... I only like Trump about 50%.... he does a few things wrong like this big screwup. A person that can't admit mistakes (like liberals) doesn't belong in the Presidency. Of course, he would still be FAR better than Obama... Trump is only stupid a little and wouldn't damage the country, Obama stupid ALOT and has and does damage the country and the world!!!

As to the "cult"..... well, no one more belongs to cult of ideology than liberals like you Kevin G.
Conservatives can sometimes make mistakes, even big ones, and can be arrogant like Trump.
But such is not OUR "standard". Lying, perversion, immorality, etc. however IS the Liberal standard.
I prove it over and over again on this forum.

Take the Ahmed the Clock boy video I just posted, from a Liberal. LOL

The first thing that article did was attack the Washington Post for engaging in "sloppy research" based on nothing more than this idiot's say so. It then says:

"However, is is likely the celebrations never happened, at least on that scale"

Talk about being sloppy, this idiot misspells the second word and let's it go to press. But such is to be expected from the likes of Breitfart. Notice also his immediate downplaying of Trumps egregious LIE by trying to come up with some lame excuse as to why it could just be an innocent mistake:

"Trump may be confusing rumors..."

WTF? No, he isn't confusing "rumors," he claims this is something he flat out SAW and Ben Carson said he saw it too. They were both given the chance to back away and save face when they were asked if it was something they based on rumor, but they both said this was a fact because they SAW it happen and they were adamant that it took place in New Jersey.

This idiot then goes on to muddy the waters by referencing "dancing in the streets" that took place in Palestine. What the “F” does any of this have to do with Trump's repeated claim about "thousands" of Muslims dancing in New Jersey? Absolutely NOTHING. He concedes that Trump is "likely" wrong in his claim but then spends the rest of his time attacking another Liberal, George Stephanopoulos, saying that he:

"tried to minimize reports of people celebrating 9/11 from the very beginning. He told Peter Jennings on Sep. 14, 2001: “One of the things that I found most remarkable, at least in this first four days, is how–in context, how subdued actually the–the reaction of the quote, unquote, ‘Arab street’ has been.” He downplayed Palestinian celebrations. They did not fit the narrative."

Fit the narrative? What damned narrative? Stephanopoulos clearly referred to the "Arab Street." For this idiot, that must be confined to some isolated location in Palestine, right? What about the streets of Egypt, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, etc? We've all seen this video with the "dancing Muslims" on 9-11, and the fact is there wasn't "thousands" of people celebrating in this video either. At best you have maybe a couple of dozen Palestinians, many of whom have probably had family members die at the hands of Israeli soldiers. The video keeps looping to the same repeated footage and the journalist makes the idiotic claim that their "peace signs" are actually meant to be "V for victory." Ya, that makes sense. Because English is their primary language, right?


This author is a horrible writer, and he's rambling all over the place avoiding the issue of Trump's lie and wasting our time babbling about anything he can. If this is your best evidence that the Right Wing isn't a cult, then I think you just proved my point. Breitfart cannot even admit its own lies, so I don't expect them to admit it when one of their own is guilty of it.

It is becoming increasingly clear that both Trump and Carson are far more concerned about promoting whatever they perceive the most gullible and extreme conservatives are eager to believe than about telling the truth. I devoutly hope that the American electorate, as a whole, will prove not to be nearly as gullible, misinformed and naïve as Trump and Carson obviously are counting on.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

They are playing to their base. Hopefully when the actual voting takes place the American people will not vote for these clowns.

1. Well Kevin G..... Since they DID admit clearly that Trump told a falsehood, your statement is nothing more than neverland liberal false judgmentalism.

2. Clearly someone must have told Trump that the location was a "river of blood" location.
Would be completely in neverland to erect a plaque at a location he wasn't told something happened at.
So, that one is much ado about nothing. It may or may not have happened, not all historians know everything. For all you and they know he could have been told the information by a local who had long family ties to the area and thus knew such a story. Again, all historians don't know everything.

3. If you're standing in a Skyscraper it would be EASY to see things thus "people" falling from the WOT just 4 miles away. 4 miles isn't that far.
There is video out there that's from some 4 miles away which clearly shows things/a.k.a. people falling.
Thus, he clearly didn't lie.

4. It's facinating to me how liberals latch on to a couple of possible or one actual mistake by Trump or Carson, and yet are perfectly fine with the 1,000's of lies Obama has said over the years. Liberals of course don't understand that lying is their nature, so they never see it occuring, just like the Ahmed Clock story, save sometimes much later, and it's only a SMALL FEW liberals who see the lies, but even then, they don't see it about everything, they are still liberal after all, like for example the Trayvon Martin event, liberals still believe their lies over the actual facts and truth.

I don't know where Trump claims to have been when he says he say people jumping out of the WTC. If he was in Trump Tower, it's unlikely he saw anything of the kind. From what I recall, the view would be obstructed from Trump Tower (5th Ave, I think) down to the WTC.

By other sky scrapers.

When you're in the city, you can barely see anything outside of the street and location you're on.

Because skyscrapers.

Just looked it up quickly. Yeah, 5th Ave.

You wouldn't have been able to see the WTC from that location.

If Trump Tower was indeed where he was. I dunno...

Like I said, there's video of it that's at least 4 miles away that I've seen on Youtube, thus clearly it's possible.
