COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY SUZANNE MOORE IN THE
GUARDIAN
"Don’t laugh at
liars like Boris Johnson and Sean Spicer. Call them out"
I am not a fan of either of these individuals, although
Boris has supplied the odd laugh over the years.
However, the attitude here is highly selective.
"A known liar"?
Well, I guess that eliminates half the Prime Ministers of
Britain.
Certainly, it eliminates Tony Blair, a man frequently given
publicity or praise in these pages.
And certainly, David Cameron, as colossal a failure in his
own way as Trump, and one who rarely told the truth.
Hillary Clinton? Good God, what a dismal record she has.
Bill Clinton? He actually made a joke or two about telling
the truth while telling a great many lies.
And it is hard to imagine a more practiced liar than the
baritone-voiced, boyishly-smiling previous President.
He killed an awful lot of people bombing in seven different
countries and running America's first organized extrajudicial killing operation
and on a massive scale. He never told the American people what he was doing.
He loved secrecy, hated whistleblowers, and rarely told the
truth.
