Comments on: FactCheck.org and CNN Reveal McCain & Palin Lies http://earthfirst.com/factcheckorg-and-cnn-reveal-mccain-palin-lies/ A Sharp Eye -- With a Green Edge Sun, 21 Mar 2010 14:35:39 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Gideon http://earthfirst.com/factcheckorg-and-cnn-reveal-mccain-palin-lies/comment-page-1/#comment-3440 Gideon Sat, 20 Sep 2008 17:08:52 +0000 http://earthfirst.com/?p=2241#comment-3440 Ms. Rogers - Cherry picking for your own agenda? Both sides have stretched the truth or out right lied. They are politicians. There is no such thing as an honest politician. Before you use a source as your argument, you should take the time to peruse their other findings like: http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/scaring_seniors.html or http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/stretching_with_biden.html Which shows the Obama camp lying or purposefully deceiving. You can view a video that outlines both sides tripping up here: http://www.factcheck.org/just-the-facts/this_little_piggy_went_to_the_makeup.html If you are going to take a position and state it as fact, ensure that it is defensible. Dishonest and sleazy - both sides are guilty of these tactics at one point or another. A bad omen? If you are basing this off of lying politicians, then our country will never have hope. And I do not believe this to be true. All humans lie and politicians are not exempted. They are simply caught more often because of their public life. Do not misinterpret, I DO NOT ADVOCATE LYING. I am sure that, in your writing, I can pick out lies as well. Does that make it a bad omen for the earth because one of the "so called" fighters for her is caught in lies? Once again, your site should stick to environmental issues and stay out of politics unless politics overflows into environmental issues specifically. And when that happens, make sure your position is defensible - I am a reader and will defend against your untruths each and every time (political or otherwise).
