Bob Beckel: Dems Have Not Called Bush a Liar

Ha, ha that is hilarious. Then what do you call these:

June 2, 2005 interview with Rolling Stone – Harry Reid – Q: “You’ve called Bush a loser.” Reid: “And a liar.” Q: “You’ve apologized for the loser comment.” Reid: “But never for the liar, have I.”

November 18, 2005: Sen. Edward M. Kennedy: Bush and Cheney “have begun a new campaign of distortion and manipulation.” The two men could not find weapons of mass destruction and “they can’t find the truth either.”

Al Gore: “A systematic effort to manipulate the facts.”

Sen. John Edwards: “myths perpetrated by the Bush administration” and “certainly the integrity and character of the President of the United States is at issue, no question.”

Rep. Dennis Kucinich: “war based on falsehood” and “White House deception”

Former Pres. Jimmy Carter speaking at the DNC Convention: “we cannot lead if our leaders mislead.”

Al Sharpton: “He lied in Florida. He’s lied several times. I believe he lied in Iraq.”

Sen. Joe Biden: “By misrepresenting the facts, misunderstanding Iraq and misleading on this war…”

Rep. John Conyers: “cook the intelligence”

Rep. Maxine Waters: “The President is a liar. Dick Cheney, the chief architect of the Big Lie, is not only a liar, he is a thief.”

Rep. Edward Markey: “We know that the Bush administration deliberately misled the American public about nuclear weapons in Iraq, about Al Qaeda in Iraq…”

Alright, by a technical standpoint only three of those statements ‘directly’ call President Bush a liar or that he lied about the urgency to invade Iraq. But, in regards to the other statements, those are the closest things you can say to calling the president a liar without ever having to actually use the term ‘liar’.
