[highplainsdem]

[rocktivity]

1. Wolf Blitzer: "...Lies, if you will..."

[corkhead]

2. so to speak, as it were

[ejbr]

5. to coin a phrase... n/t

[geardaddy]

7. And we'll have to leave it there...

[NCcoast]

24. If there were only an organization...

a group of people who had the resources to check such claims, and a way to inform the public.... what would we call this mythical beast?

[INdemo]

12. Well..never thought I would ever see Wolf Blitzer or

Chris Wallace actually calling out Ryan on these lies..Chris I know you read our forum and just to say your Dad would be proud of you..
.Hell may not freeze over but I thought something like this had as much chance of happening as the Cubs winning the World Series..
So looking forward to Oct 2013

[rocktivity]

17. Yeah, but did CNN have to APOLOGIZE for it?

Listen to the intro -- Wolf made it sound as if their listeners were FORCING them to call Ryan out!

18. While we are on the subject though..When did Eugene Robinson of the WP

become such a Rwing hack..he was praising Ryan for a great speech but did not say much about the lies..Another WP journalit was right beside him that was definately a RW mouthpiece and maybe his boss..I just remember him from Oberman and he certainly wasnt as friendly towards the Rightwingers as he is now..

[Plucketeer]

3. My fervent hope is

that these points are brought up during the coming debates. I'd LOVE to see Biden strip Ryan's curtain away!

[ejbr]

6. I suspect that Biden will rip him a new one and we shall be pleased n/t

[SemperEadem]

4. how these idiots do not get struck down by lightening from the storm clouds amazes me

there has to be a yod with their name on it.

8. Paul Lyin'?

Too obvious?

[ColumbusLib]

9. Try this

Lyin' Ryan

[Ebadlun]

11. Paul O'Brien

After the master of doublethink in '1984'.

[ladyblug]

22. Lyin' Ryan

That is exactly what we call him in Wisconsin, for too many years now. If you can you should donate to his opponent for congress (since he is still running for re-election in case R-money and he LOOSE) who is Rob Zerban.

[AnotherMcIntosh]

10. He's not even a good lier?

[starroute]

13. I think it's time to revive the old Reagan "There you go again" line

And use it on Ryan any time he pulls a whopper.

Don't just call out these lies -- but get the man tagged as an inveterate liar.

14. This is actually on the Fox News Web Page

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/08/30/paul-ryans-speech-in-three-words/

Mostly bulletin point 2

[eyewall]

21. That's incredible!

A very good summary of Ryan's speech. I'm amazed a Fox contributor would be so perceptive of the flaws in their own VP candidate's presentation. Even more amazing is to see it on Fox's site. A victory for journalistic integrity from a most unlikely source. Nice work Ms. Kohn.

16. Could have done with some of this media critique in 2004

but never mind.

[highplainsdem]

19. True.

[Third Doctor]

20. This guy

had the nerve to talk about cronism and politcal patronage? His entire damned party is based on that now. Only a koolaid drinking wingnut will not see through this.

[applegrove]

23. Well done.

[kitt6]

25. If you have a eye like mine;

They've gone to stuffing things in their pants.

[hollysmom]

26. I don't really know about advertising, so can someone who is explain

I understand they have to get the point across, but aren't the segments of Ryan speaking a bit long before his is shown Wrong.

It just seems like it might continue these lies rather than quell them. I wish either they didn't show Ryan and just ran his voice or that some one said Forceibly WRONG!!!! with the words.

it is just how it struck me, I am not sure how it will strike others especially non-committed voters.

Of course, not my field and I can be way off base here.
