How can "free pussy" et al call Obama a "dirty liar" and

[ashling]

no one calls them on their countenancing the myriad lies, deceptions, and obfuscations of one, Willard Mitt Romney?

There have been lots of them, but right now the Romneylie that really sticks in my craw is his accusation that Obama is somehow trying to take the voting rights from American military.

Rachel has talked about it at some length, but as far as I know - and I'll admit, I have been a little distracted lately - no reporter or other media person has asked this of one of these Republican doofuses in context with their calling Reid a liar.

The Reid's allegation may seem shaky. but there is no evidence that it is a lie, while the Republican voting scam is one big lieing conspiracy to slime democracy.

1. Reid's story is no less shakey than Romney's stories about his tax returns...

Both are "unsubstantiated."

4. I agree

and in fact take exception to Rachel using the phrase "innocent till proven guilty" which applies to our criminal justice system (supposedly), but not so much to politics.

The difference is that his tax returns are what they are - he just won't let the public know what they are (or what is in them, that is) so the public will naturally speculate. The speculation that he had not paid any taxes started way before Reid chimed in. He just claims to have a source.

Romney's accusation about Obama suing to curtail voting rights of American service persons is an outright lie.

2. Not porn, but what?

I looked up "free pussy" and most of the sites are porn, but a few aren't. Mother Jones, the Nation, and a few other sites list it as a group having riots opposing Putin, and there's also a singing group called "Pussy," I think who does political stuff.

How did you come to use it here? Did the singing group that does political stuff attack Obama?

Please let us know...

Thank you.

I see nothing wrong with using a phrase used on TV and national magazines - even tho it sounds kinda, well, you know...

Thanks...

7. 'Pussy Riot' is an all-female Russian punk band that is anti-Putin/United Russia

They are currently on trial for 'hooliganism' for singing a song in an Orthodox Church, but it's likely their real crime is publicly rebuking the ruling party.

6. IBTL

Word p***y not well liked on DU.

[fadedrose]

9. I had to look up IBTL and found it in something called the Urban Dictionary..

"In before the lock" - I don't think so. I looked up p***y and it seems that it depends on how it's used and by whom...

For instance, Tweety Bird always says, "I tot I taw a putty tat," and everyone knows that Tweety Bird is not a pervert.
