“The Republican health care plan is this: ‘Don’t get sick, and if you do get sick, die quickly.’”
Alan Grayson on Health Care.
It was a blow job. A blow job is oral sex. :rolleyes:
Oral sex is just a term. If the requirement is to make babies, then oral sex is foreplay. Butt sex is foreplay. 69 is foreplay because sex is how you make babies.
Again, I am having trouble spotting the lie here.
By that logic, gays can never have sex.
How about the LBJ admin and all their lies concerning Vietnam? Especially McNamara? I believe he told some real whoppers.
Well, technically no republican plan that we are aware of uses that exact language, therefore, it’s a lie.
What’s not true about this?
Grayson was obviously being facetious in characterizing it as a “plan,” but his point was that the Republicans had no alternative plan at all except to turn a callous deaf ear to the suffering for their own pecuniary self-interest.
Sounds like enough to qualify as untrue to me.
Sure got any quotes for us?
If you only come in here to try and defend Democratic quotes please move along. You are not really contributing to the thread. After we’ve exhausted our resources trying to find Democratic lies we can go back and laugh and argue about them. Please stop derailing the thread.
I would say the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. The Johnson administration’s claims of a second attack were highly suspect. Even Johnson and McNamara seemed uncertain of an attack.
It seems it was only used as an excuse to get us into the war.
How about the Gulf of Tonkin incident ? Now that’s a WMD grade whopper.
Yet he and his administration milked the incident for all its worth in order to drum up support for the war.
ETA : Damn you, **Guinastasia **! Damn you all to Hell !
Y’know, boytyperanma, you could be here a while, waiting for enough to work with.
No, because the word “plan” was meant sarcastically, not literally. This quote does not qualify as a “lie,” unless you’re going to qualify every sarcastic statement as a lie.
I certainly know women who did not include in their count of guys who they had “slept with” or “had sex with” those who they had done things short of sexual intercourse with. I am not going to defend this use of the terminology but I think one has to acknowledge the variation in how people use and interpret the terminology.
Umm, that whole “Shinseki got fired for arguing over troop levels” that I heard from Kerry and Pelosi isn’t actually true. (Shinseki announced his retirement almost a year before that happened.)
Dio do you have any quotes to add or are you just coming in to derail the thread?
Pointing out that hyperbole/mockery/sarcasm is not supposed to be interpreted literally and is not a lie if not 100% literally accurate is a point that most native speakers of English would understand without discussion. If you insist on arguing otherwise, many native English speakers will perforce disagree with you.
If you wear a condom or use the pill it’s not sex? Shit, still a virgin.
