You know, back in 2012 I thought that blatant lying was a purely Mitt Romney thing. I was wrong. Republicans appear unable to open their mouths without uttering a lie. Ever.

Please, TPM, when will you stop being surprised that the GOP makes stuff up, believes nonsense, and gleefully spouts it to other ignorant people?

Clearly the Republican has lost all concept of what it means to tell the truth.

Hensarling is just another of the incredibly dense and morally bankrupt right-wing liars from Texas.

I am not at all surprised that he would continue this lying charade.

If I were a moderate reasonable republican, I would very ashamed to share the same affiliation.

The Center for Medical Progress needs to be taken to court for its attempt to propagate fraud on a massive scale. Some good government group ought to be doing this…not just the National Abortion Federation alone. PP is considering a suit as I understand it but they should not have to use their resources to go after these clowns.

CMP is no different than selling fraudulent bullshit over the airways late at night and soliciting money for their cause. This piece of shit group receives funds from Operation Rescue, a virulent anti-abortion hate-group responsible for the rhetoric that lead to Dr. George Tiller’s death.

From Wikipedia:

The CMP’s board members include Daleiden, Troy Newman, and Albin Rhomberg, and they receive advice, consulting and funds from Operation Rescue. Their website initially described the organization as “dedicated to informing and educating both the lay public and the scientific community about the latest advances in regenerative medicine, cell-based therapies, and related disciplines.” It was initially registered by Daleiden as a tax-exempt biomedicine charity, but after questions about the group’s tax exempt status the organization’s stated mission was changed to “a group of citizen journalists dedicated to monitoring and reporting on medical ethics and advances.”

Citizen journalists my ass! More like unethical muckraking assholes.
BTW, the house just voted affirmatively to defund Planned Parenthood. Three Republicans voted against this, and only 2 Democrats voted for the bill…but the thugs had the majority.

This is one of those Sense of the House issues.

I want each and every Congressional representative to have to get up in the House while it’s in session, then, live and fully recorded, state:

  1. whether he or she did “in fact” watch the 13 hours of O’Keefe’s production,
  2. if she or he did “in fact” watch all that, did that production “in fact” contain the scenes that Carly Fiorina says are in there that Planned Parenthood says are not in there and that no one at all has thus far been able to isolate and reproduce from that production, and
  3. if he or she did NOT watch that O’Keefe production, then immediately STFU.

I imagine all three of them are.

While I’m sure there are more than that, they never make a peep. They’re like the Good Muslims that they are always criticizing for not denouncing the Bad Muslims.

True, but on the up side you would get to hang out with Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. So there is that.

This is how the right wing works. They make up shit about made up shit, repeat it often enough, and within their bubble, its true. Screw all facts to the contrary, I got 10 emails that said it was true!!

So she inadvertently provided us with a giant litmus test to uncover the fakers and liars. Hernsarling never watched the video and never saw that scene BECAUSE IT DOESN’T EXIST.

HUH?
