Abraham Lincoln said: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."
There a Lies and there are Lies that transcend to the level of Art,
Recently there has been an excellent example a Lie that contains nothing but the truth. What you will see in the Video was actually spoken, but as you will also see the "meaning" of what was said has been altered by creative editing.
Please View
Rep. Roy Blunt:
McCain stopped the bailout deal
"Clearly, yesterday, his position on that discussion yesterday was one that stopped a deal from finalizing ."
Now that does sound like he (John McCain) jumped right into a Congressional Deal and brought it to a screeching halt and there may be some truth in that. However a 9 second cut, might leave some important
things out so, let us look at a longer and more complete version?
Rep. Roy Blunt
Says Democrats Are Uncooperative On Bailout
Ah there are a few words left out?
"Clearly, yesterday, his position on that discussion yesterday was one that stopped a deal from finalizingthat no House Republican in my view would have been for, which means it wouldn't have probably passed the House. "
I don't know what other's might think, but to me what was left out makes a profound difference,
They say the Best Way to Lie is to Tell the Truth, but Selectively. This appears to be a perfect example of that art.
