In reply to the discussion: Peter Daou: I have diligently avoided saying the 2016 election was stolen [View all]calimary
(81,179 posts)Some people find it harder to stick their necks out. I happen to agree with the opinion. I too think this election was stolen. Glad somebody's finally coming around to say that. But maybe he felt a case had not been made til a day like this came along. When you're on it early, you're the first to take the verbal jabs and blows. You're the first to be lambasted as shrill or hilarious. You're the first to be targeted for smears and slanders.
Then again, there are some like Chris Matthews who is loathe - utterly LOATHE to use the word "lie" or the word "liar." Hates it. Said so on his show in the first segment just a few days ago. Didn't want to stick his neck out, even though lies are spewing from trump's mouth almost at the rate of every minute on the minute. Even though it's STUPID-obvious. Even though there's such a long and unimpeachable track record, well-documented in multitudes of written words and video clips. Can't do it, he says. Just shrivels at the thought, still.
I know. It makes no sense. None to me anyway. What would you call it, if you can't call it a lie? Especially spoken by the Lord of the Lies.
