For Obama's/Biden's next debate: Different ways to say, "You lie".

[ErikJ]

I heard Obama say yesterday that you can only say You lie or thats a lie so many times before it gets too repetitive.
So does anybody have any different ways to say 'You lie' or 'Thats a lie'?

How about "There you go again!"
"That is factually incorrect"
"The facts dont support that"

[C_U_L8R]

1. You're deceiving the American public

That's not true. Your facts are wrong. That's playing loose with the truth. Etc

[ErikJ]

5. Good ones!

I still like Reagan's 'There you go again' best.

[Historic NY]

2. Personally I would go with "thats a fucking lie & you know it"....

you'd hear a pin drop after that. Get mad POTUS Get mad.

[Tx4obama]

9. That would be awesome. The quote would dominate the news cycle for a week :)

Might be better for Biden to say it though instead of Obama

[JoePhilly]

3. Cough into your hand while saying "Bull$#!^"

[Voice for Peace]

6. lolol if Obama could pull that off in the debate, I think he'd win the election

[Voice for Peace]

4. "Sir you are being repeatedly dishonest, not only tonight but on the campaign trail,

speaking to the American people. The facts are the facts,
and dishonesty will never help this country move forward."

[Voice for Peace]

7. I'd like to see a series of questions for Mitt from the town hall allowing only a yes or no answer

"Would you like to repeal Roe vs Wade"
"Did you get amnesty for your Swiss Bank account"

like that

[Tennessee Gal]

8. You don't even have to accuse them of lying.

You just lay out your case.

I posted a thread with the case in my own words regarding blaming the Obama administration for a failed economy after 4 years. It could also be used on Ryan.

Here is the thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021508055

10. Open the debate

in the opening statements with something like:

"Now, I don't want to be rude, and I'm not going to call my opponent a liar. What I will do, however, is raise my hand, like this (raises hand) every time he says something that is factually untrue."

Then, proceed to signal every time he says a lie. This would play particularly well in the town hall debate, with a live, reactive audience - a lot of laughter, I'm sure, that would really get under Mittens' skin.

16. LOL -

Obama's arms would get too tired!

[one_voice]

11. I'm good with...

You Lie...it was good enough to yell out at the President during a State of the Union it's sure as shit good enough for those peabrain assholes.



edited to add: all the repukes thought it was ok too. Goose gander and all that...

[nykym]

12. Oh that's right

it's not intended to be a factual statement!

[gkhouston]

14. LOL! "Well, clearly that wasn't intended to be a factual statement..."

"Yes, that's a position at least one of you has supported..."

[meow2u3]

13. That's dishonest of you

"You're contradicting yourself" (explain in brief)
"Which side of your mouth did this untrue statement come from"?

[PD Turk]

15. Here's another way

I've always like a more "direct" approach.



"Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in."

Harry S. Truman

“Nixon is a shifty-eyed goddamn liar. . . . .He's one of the few in the history of this country to run for high office talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time and lying out of both sides”

Harry S. Truman

17. How about tactful, "Paul, I think I just saw your nose grow a bit there with that last statement"

[Tennessee Gal]

18. How about this? "Governor, I know you don't really believe what you just said."

or "Governor, there is no way you are sincere about what you just said because it contradicts the positions you have taken on this subject for several years."

or "Governor, what you just said cannot be backed up with facts."

or "Governor, the evidence is overwhelming that what you just said is not only misleading, but it is factually incorrect. Are you purposely trying to mislead the American people?"

or "Governor, what you just said is astonishing in the sense that the facts do not back up your claim."

or "Governor, why are you totally misrepresenting the facts. It is far more effective to be honest with the American people."

or "Governor, facts are facts. You are entitled to your own opinions, but you are not entitled to your own facts. If you expect to be President of this nation, you should be willing to keep to the truth."

I could go on and on.

[ErikJ]

20. Very good-you'd make a good debate coach.

Youre blessed with phraseology glibness which Obama the Professor could use more of.

[Tennessee Gal]

21. Well, thank you ErikJ!

19. "That isn't at all true and I submit that you know it."
