So have Joe Scum et al spoken about the Politico lies

[malaise]

yesterday where they supposedly published a quotation from an unnamed senior ReTHUG who said that Obama crashed their Baltimore meeting and brought the press with him and they are wary of meeting with him since they no longer trust him.

Jim Vandehei and the rest of ReTHUG hacks knew they were lying. After all they wrote extensively about the January meeting.

As cameras roll, President Obama faces down GOP
President Barack Obama, groping for a new strategy after the Massachusetts defeat, seemed to find the perfect foundation for one Friday: direct engagement with the GOP in front of a national TV audience.

In a lively Q & A with House Republicans at their annual retreat in Baltimore, Obama showcased the campaign skills that won him the Oval Office — he was cerebral, combative, cool and quick.

And he was also able to forcefully express his strongest political and policy argument: that Republicans have little authentic interest in compromise.
-----------------------------------------------------------
They retracted most of it later in the day.
Other than liberal blogs, the silence is deafening. The WH Press Secretary should blast this all over the media and Obama, Nancy et al should make lots of noise on this one. It is time to fight back and mash down these lies.

1. Don't hold your breath waiting.

As far as I can tell, repukes are congenital liars. They lie even when the truth would serve them better because lying is as natural as breathing to them.

2. Yesterday was one of those days

That was a deliberate lie and it was always going to be exposed.

3. Why would a liar expose lies? I think Scum would break out in

hives if that happened.

4. As is my policy, whenever Joe is mentioned, I shall post this...

6. I was about to say that the next DUer who cited Politico could get into a very, very exclusive club

I have not a single person on Ignore--but then I thought, better to show them that Politico's a shamed source.

I will simply resond thusly:

Your source is a proven liar.

I'd like to see more DUers respond in kind (or with a better response). Ten or so like responses in a thread should put the kibosh on the practice pretty quickly, I would think--at least I hope so.

8. Excellent idea
