CNN called Fiorina a liar to her face and it was magnificent.

[kpete]

When Camerota asked if there’s new data to back that up, and if Fiorina should use the new data, the candidate responded with, “absolutely not,” then proceeded to blame the media for asking questions about what she says.

The nerve, really, for the media to hold candidates accountable for what they say. How dare they?

What’s most interesting about all of this is this little thing called facts, and those facts reveal that more women were working by the end of President Obama’s first term than when he came in with the worst recession since the Great Depression. According to CNN, who grabbed numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (are they also part of the evil liberal media?):

“In January 2009, there were 66.5 million American women working in non-farm jobs, compared to January 2013 when there were 66.9 million. That’s an increase of over 400,000 working females in Obama’s first term.”

Sure looks as though the Obama administration that Fiorina is saying was so bad for women, was actually pretty damn good.

1. Gosh...

those pesky darn facts always seem to get in the way of really good flame bait.



One thing I noticed in that clip, since I do a great job of ever watching Fiorina, is that her right eye gets all squinty when she's agitated.

[dmr]

35. You're right. It is kinda wonky.

I watched it a second time after reading your post. I wonder if it's agitation or a reaction to passing misinformation - or both.

[2naSalit]

37. I know.

I had a typo in my previous comment, I meant that I never watch her. Still, I have found that people who lie and know it often have nervous twitches that give them away when someone calls them out on the lie, that's what I suspect is going on here. Her agitation is noticeable.

[cilla4progress]

2. So as I understand it,

here is the Republican Presidential candidates' game plan going forward: attack the media, calling every news source except Fox and right-wing radio types, liars; continue to lie; and hope that they can bring along enough low-information voters to prevail.

Hmmm. Wonder if it will work?

[nxylas]

28. Much as it did last time

Remember Unskewed Polls?

[cilla4progress]

32. Maybe that's why it seems

extra transparent this time?

Well, honestly Carly you are a liar.

The stat she doesn't seem aware of is her own.... tanking in the polls for being a liar.

The unemployment number is from Obama's first 3 months in office. His having inherited Bush and Bill Clinton's economic world melt down from banksters. The ticking time bomb of fraud and deregulation.

[lark]

31. Not right

The economy was great under Clinton, it's when GW cut taxes and started 2 wars without paying for them that things started going south. Oh yeah, it was also the regulators under GW failing to do their jobs that caused the Wall St. crash.

Think I detect a bit of bias.

4. she has like negative charisma, my goodness

and what is this line she kept repeating about the WAPO saying she wasn't a secretary?

[valerief]

5. I think she has charisma to authoritarian types. To normal people, she's an asshole.

And here's the wapo article.

[Fast Walker 52]

10. thanks for the piece

She's definitely an asshole!

6. "On the wrong-o-meter, this gets a 10 out of 10."

From CNN Money:

Here are the official government numbers:

January 2009: There were 66.5 million American women working in non-farm jobs.

January 2013: There were 66.9 million.

That's an increase of over 400,000 working females in Obama's first term.

8. That's one evil woman

No such thing as a liberal media you fool

12. Fiorina has a coat made out of Cruella DaVille. nt.

[CrispyQ]

17. Thread win.

[blackspade]

34. Not a coat...

She's wearing her skin.

[Marie Marie]

25. She is soooo unlikable...

God this woman is awful. Can she be any more condescending when she speaks? She has all the warmth of a steel file cabinet.

[bigdarryl]

9. Boy do I wish she was the nominee so Hillary could wipe the floor with her

In a debate

[yuiyoshida]

13. When you look up the word

deplorable in the dictionary, her face is shown as an example. Republicans don't even hide the stupid any longer.

[mountain grammy]

14. It speaks volumes that this person is allowed to speak

as if she's saying something that matters. She should be given no platform at all. She should be on a street corner somewhere spouting off to her 15 supporters. The GOP has given voice to the idiot fringe in America and it's dangerous.

[longship]

24. Nope, just make her wear a clown nose when she speaks.

And have her say, "Give the weeze a squeeze; many people like to" at the end of her speech.

Her-Ha! Her-Ha!

16. Keep talking, Carly

You do the democratic strategist's job for them every time you open your mouth

[Plucketeer]

18. She wouldn't be getting the attention she is

if it weren't for her gender. And that slant is what worries me about another prospect of her gender.

[Matariki]

19. You can tell she KNOWS that she's lying by how much she's blinking.

classic tell.

[Aldo Leopold]

27. Yep.

Just try blinking that much yourself some time. It feels like you're inside a zoetrope.

[Punx]

20. As far as Republican Leaders are concerned

The media's job is to push their propaganda. They really don't have any other idea why it's there.

Seriously,

I worked for Fortune 1000 company and the CEO (a top Rethug fundraiser in the state) constantly complained about the local paper reporting (accurately) on the company's failed product. Seemed to think that they should have just published the company's press releases. Typical sociopathic behavior and Carly is a big a one as they come. Both that CEO and Carly (indirectly) have done a lot of harm to me and my wife.

[d_legendary1]

21. Kind of hard to have credibility

when you tell people the company you left behind was in great shape while the inferno rages on behind you.

[Peregrine Took]

22. She was waiting for that question. Gotta ask them stuff they aren't expecting. n/t

[Beartracks]

26. GOPers just spout whtvr is "supposed" to be the case...

... as opposed to whatever really *is* the case. About everything.

I can't tell if they're lying or just ignorant/wrong. Either way, it's a pretty consistent thing.

[40RatRod]

29. Subject was misleading.

I'm certainly no fan of this woman but I did not hear CNN call her a "liar to her face."

[tularetom]

30. She just pulls those numbers out of her ass

And nobody ever questions her about it.

[Chakab]

33. That wasn't very "magnificent." She just sort of sheepishly accused her of using inaccurate data a

few times.

"Magnificent" would calling her on this "liberal media" bullshit that they've been using for decades to hush criticism. "Magnificent" would also be calling Fiorina on the fact that her entire purpose in the campaign is to launch attacks on Hillary Clinton that a male candidate would get more shit for using. That's why she's actually being funded by the superpacs of her "rivals" in this primary.

[Skittles]

36. her frozen face distracts me
