Don Lemon tore into Republicans on Monday for what he called their "lies" about Obamacare.

Speaking on his regular slot on the Tom Joyner Morning show, the CNN host said that "some" Republicans had "lied themselves into a corner and threatened to shut down the government unless Obamacare is no longer funded."

"Talk about selfish," he added.

Lemon proceeded to debunk what he called the three biggest "whoppers" Republicans were telling about Obamacare, ending with another shot at the leaders of the push to defund the law and shut down the government.

"If they were really, if they really wanted to do the right thing they would tell the American people the truth," he said. "They would tell the American people that it's not a job stealer, but it's easier for them to give rhetoric and try to save their own hide than to tell the American people the truth."

This was said Monday by this commentator. He uses the L word about Republicans, and that is all they do. People understand the L word. If this gets out, and most understand this , the Republicans will have major trouble, because they are still doing this L about the Affordable Care Act as you read these words...People who need the Affordable Care Act, and do not sign up, could die, Many might die because they believe these Lies...The Republicans do not care, will not care, have never cared about people who might need this. All they care about is the big drug companies and insurance companies that give them money...

2. And some journalists report the truth.

Politicians lie, they need to be exposed for those lies. Isn't that what reporting is????????? Sometimes those lies kill. The president before Obama, lied, and killed people based on that lie. He and others, never apologized for that, never will War was fought over that lie... So, one hundred and fifty thousand die cause of that lie...well its ok..took the press years...to get to those lies...These lies about the Affordable Care Act..will kill...thousands of our own people.. that is what Republicans do....The Affordable Care Act..sounds like a good thing.....so..........they changed it to Obamacare......see........................... cause they thought they could change the fact that the Affordable Care Act would help most people. change the name..make people mad... and Lie about it......

11. It is the business of journalists--reporters, as they used to be known--to seek and report the truth

Journalists, however, are a dying breed, having been largely replaced by two inferior species--the stenographer, who transmits whatever is given to it, and the propagandist, who distorts whatever is given to it in order to serve the ends of its masters. Chuckles the Toad is an instance of the last-named type.

4. This is a good question, why can't the GOP tell the truth, when the truth finally comes out I can

Not see where it will help their reputation.

9. "This is Don Lemon reporting on the mass gathering of lemmings in Congress."

It's pretty clear no one is in charge of the GOP clown car. It's just circling the ring while the rest of the performance goes on.

5. Good for Don Lemon! Chuck Todd could learn by example

of what a journalist is supposed to do---report the truth.

[Stuart G]

6. Chuck Todd has ignited a firestrom about "Lies"

Oh, we do not have to report those lies...someone else should expose those lies...not our job ..........or words to that effect...

I hope he is gone...Give Don Lemon his job...

7. Thank you for this post.

8. When the Media gives so much time to Lies..and characters that Lie, then the Media Lies...

So, all that time given to Ted Cruz...(not counting the last two days) was time given to his lies. Not to truth. The Media glorified those lies...by giving him that time.. it kinda solidified his position as a truth teller...Why? Because he got that media time, and many trust those that appear to be tellers of truth on the media, and get media time.. Why? Because they do...

...So, in the beginning Sara Palin got media time, and took years to show that all she was , was a Liar..
People trusted her, they nominated her for Vice President...She is not a Liar..Now, most people see that she is not only a Liar, but quite a Stupid Liar....

Don Lemon called them out....I wonder how much coverage he will get...oh, this is two days old...not much..at least there is some..

12. The thing about Don Lemon

is that he is not afraid. He does not cower like most of the others in media - especially CNN.

13. Telling the truth often has tremendous risks..

That is sad indeed. I wonder if someone at ABC, CBS or NBC would do what Lemon did.
