I find it odd that you've cited one alleged lie told by BHO and Krugman http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/20/obama-and-redistribution/ (where he says it eroded their wealth, not that it didn't still favor them) and want to compare it to the tons told by Bush that are far more damaging, particularly in the "making it the norm" way Krugman addressed.

You also seem to be either reading comp skills challenged or dishonest as well. Nowhere and at no time have I "approved or supported" the lies of anyone, you just seem to be hell bent on promoting a rather stupid false comparison of "BHO's/Krugman's" real or merely percieved lie on this one matter is "just like" and "as bad as" all the lying Bush did that made lying the norm and acceptable, and it could be reasonably argued, demanded in the rightwingnut ranks.

That's a stupid false comparison worthy of a rightwingnut, and the "as bad as" BS is in frequent common use by rightwingnuts as well. You cling to it if you must, but the numbers simply do not add up.

By all means, give us a top post about how BHO/Krugman are "just like Bush" http://www.truthaboutdeception.com/lying-and-deception/confronting-a-partner/compulsive-lying/types-of-liars.html based on your pathetic case for it, and deserving of the same level of ridicule as Bush for it.

and post a link to it here so that I might join the rest of the board in giving you what you deserve in a much more public way.

Your BS here in no way undermines Krugman's point, and no more so than had he caught you in a lie and you then used a "well, that guy lied too" as a means of exonerating yourself. Lies/liars are no more born nor continue to exist as equals -- particularly when frequency is factored in -- than we humans are period by many measures.

Gee what's next, the pickpocket and the serial rapist/murderer (or war criminal like Bush) are "the same" because they are both "criminals"?

BY you're illogic/BS, it would seem so.
