Factually Correct

In reference to President Bush’s mistruth in his January State of The Union Address the Right Wing Neo-Conservative Hawks say it’s only “sixteen words”. It’s only one sentence they say. I’d like to ask them if a lie with fewer words is less of a lie then a lie with more words. A lie is a lie is a lie is a lie.

In five words the hawks, in defense of the untrue information in President Bush’s State of the Union Address, say “the information is factually correct”. Quit the play on words. They must think we’re all a bunch of morons.

The hawks are “factually correct” in making that statement. But they would have also been “factually correct” if they added a couple of words. In seven words they could have said: The information is a factually correct LIE. That’s right LIE. Even if Bush didn’t know it was a lie (which I doubt) still doesn’t mean it is not a lie. If something is untrue then it isn’t true. If Bush didn’t lie than he repeated a lie. That doesn’t make it any less of a lie. It is still a lie. And that is “factually correct”.
