Obama Campaign On Ryan’s RNC Speech: ‘He Lied’
Source: TPM
Stephanie Cutter, deputy campaign manager for the Obama campaign, didn't mince words on Thursday when asked about vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan's factually dubious speech at the Republican National Convention.
Cutter told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell that many of Ryan's claims including the oft-invoked attack on the president for the closure of a Wisconsin auto plant that was actually shuttered when former President George W. Bush was still in office were more than merely misleading.
"Well, you know, Andrea, there's no delicate way to put this, but he lied," Cutter said. "He blatantly lied and brazenly. A number of different things have been fact checked by members of the media, independent fact checkers."

"Facts are powerful things. We didn't hear many of them last night," Cutter said. "And one thing that we didn't hear is one idea, one tangible idea of how to move the country forward. Paul Ryan was picked as Mitt Romney's running mate because of his intellectual leadership. He was an intellectual leader of the Republican Party. You couldn't prove that to anybody last night watching that speech."

(8,200 posts)He should not menace words and call the him a lying bastard who has absolutely no of respect for the truth. I wonder what the Catholic bishops will have to say to cover up for this unscrupulous fraud? I imagine they will conveniently ignore that their precious little boot-licking creep actually despises the teaching of Jesus as he pushes the Republican agenda to starve children and the elderly while celebrating that the that the poor don't have any health insurance.
Its survival of the fittest and good riddance to the lowly working class whom that they regard as little more than vermin. While the parasitic Catholic bishops gorge themselves at the table and might, if the notion moves them, throw a few scrapes to the desperate poor that they regard as a distraction from their holy and noble fight to protect their raping priest. These sexual perverts suck up to the wealthy as they stomp the working class into servitude.

(28,552 posts)... Obama needs to get on TV and enumerate each lie and the truth. Particularly those that are cut and dried, which is most of them.
Obama needs to TAKE THE GLOVES OFF.
