    Ironic to hear a brainwashed democrat complain about Fox News.

        Still no coherent response, but lots of name calling.

        Again . . .




        The other lies and fake news are worse than this. Do have any reasonable explanation for this atrocious nonsense.

And it's amazing how Politifact will spin and spin until they feel like they can call a factually true statement a lie. It's why I say their slogan should be "Politifact: All politics, no facts."

            How come they never look like that in real life?

              You started a troll thread and then are surprised when people treat it that way?

                  Repeating myself, but...

                  since you seem enamored with this sort of thing, a 2014 FOX News poll found that 81% of respondents believed that Obama lied about important matters at least some of the time.

                  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014...t-matters.html

                  And here's a list of over 1000 of Obama's biggest lies:

                  Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                  But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                  Than a fool in the eyes of God

                    Reminds me of that scene from Falling Down with Michael Douglas. Great movie.

You can't just point to some false statements (one can do that for any president), you have to prove it's actually more than any previous president.
                        The partial list reference is longer than that of any other president. I see a failure to respond to the Trump quote on global warming.

                        Still waiting . . .

                        More to follow because like Pinocchio's nose the list gets longer and longer. I will also refer to more lies and fake news from the list. Like the global warming whooper I see no coherent response to the fact that Trump is habitual liar.

                          Do you actually refer to lies as "whoopers"? That's new to me.
                          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                            And you're comparing them to other presidents in what way? By the number of statements they've made that PolitiFact ranks as false?

                            First, PolitiFact is noticeably biased in how they rate things, grading conservatives noticeably more harshly than liberals. But even if we grant them as being completely fair in regards to their grading, they don't evaluate every single statement someone makes, thereby making numerical comparisons pointless even if they didn't have a bias.

                            But even ignoring all of that, PolitiFact didn't even exist until 2007 and thus were in no position to really do such evaluations for any president before Obama (there was only a small amount of overlap with Bush, and Bush basically dropped from the public eye after he left the presidency). So even ignoring the above issues, at most your data would suggest he made more false statements than Obama, because he's the only one you can validly compare Trump to with that data. So how about the 43 presidents before Obama that PolitiFact provides little to no actual data in regards to? Got any actual data to show that Trump made more false statements than any of them? That was your claim, after all, that he was breaking records.

                                Start a thread on this and I will address it. I already reviewed it: one is a poll split on party lines, and the other is mostly disagreements based on party lines, nothing new. My list represents down right lies, and the first whooper has not n=been responded to,
