Since you can, without hesitaion, call bush a "liar" based on information you think you have;
can you also call Michael moore a liar?
what if I give you a link to one of the hundreds of websites showing his lies? http://www.davekopel.com/Terror/Fiftysix-Deceits-in-Fahrenheit-911.htm
and/or
can you also call Clinton a liar, since dna evidence proved he lied in a court of law?
I wan't to know if you are a hypocrit who solely wants to bash the Bush administration, or if you really think Bush lied. If you are calling him a liar because you really think he lied, then it shoud be easy to say "Michael moore lied about Bush's administration", and "Clinton lied under oath"
Some of you will try to avoid the question with things like, "get over the past, yadda yadda yadda".
Although my question's motives should be painfully obvious, I will explain even more.
If you can say "bush lied" and yet refuse to say the others did, then you are just 'name calling', and nothing you say matters.

The most dangerous lies were of michael moore, to create discent in our nation.
Clinton was proved to have lied under oath. Why would you not think he lied about everything else in his administration?
I do not think Bush "lied".
THE POINT OF MY QUESTION IS TO OUT THE HYPOCRITES. DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT, OR YOU WILL PROVE YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE!

What I wonder is if he knew that there were no weapons of mass destruction WHY would he want to go to war? Surely he should have known that he would be found out. So what was it that he would have gained? It could only hurt his reputation, his place in history, and the USA......what possible reason could there be? If you know that you will be caught in a lie, and you lie anyway, there must be something in it for you....but I cannot see what Bush could have thought he could gain.....This is just common sense. Weather you like Bush or not he could not have gotten where he is if he was truly retarded. His college grades were higher than Kerrys......his SATs higher than Kerrys. He was not the only person who believed Iraq had WMD's....The whole UN believed it. We know he HAD them, he used them...Talk about brainwashing, people will believe anything they read in the MSM, or their friend said over a few beers. Get real....think about it...what did he gain?

Yes, without doubt:
Moore lied, Clinton lied, Bush lied, OJ did it (& lied), Michael Jackson did it (& lied).
I can face up to the fact that they all lied because they did & I know what a lie is, regardless of who is telling it. that is the wonderfull thing about the truth & lies... it is what it is. I actually voted for Bush the 1st time (sorry) which is why I think that I am not partial to him being a liar. I was angry with the 9-11 attacks & wanted vengence also at the time. But only to those responsible. But the more that it unfolded, the more I saw through this farce and the corruption that he swore he would take out of the white house!
Moore was out to make money & sell his movie, Clinton wanted to not go to jail, get impeached, get embarrased etc..., OJ & Michael didnt want to go to jail. Bush wanted to do it for the same reason Moore did. MONEY! He lives in Texas & made his fortune from oil (as did Cheney who worked for a huge oil company), dont you think he knew what he was doing? Bush & Cheney were already very rich before this started. & now they will have so much money, that thier great-great grandchildren will never need a job!
Yes, if you are only talking about the fact that each lied, yes they are all guilty & I can admit that, can you?
why is it so difficult for you to admit he lied? Isnt that your point? You want everyone to admit people they like lied? Are you not big enough to do what you are telling others to do? Do as I say not as I do, huh? there is no shame in being duped! The shame is not realizing it & doing someting about it. There is this mountain of proof that ALL of them lied!
What further proof do you need? Like I said, I did vote for him once, then I saw what he was up to & tried to get him out the next time around. You appear to be the name caller, since everyone here has said that Clinton & Moore lied, yet you still defend a guilty man. I mean what is it going to take for you to see?
He had doctored satelite photos of WMDs and he couldnt find them! How do you have made up pictures & not think that they will want to find them?
He admited that there were none. The main reason for going to war was disproven & it was still ok?? Yes Saddam was a bad guy, but is lying about him make you better or just as bad?
He said that the US doesnt wire-tap. LIE.! When caught lying about it he tells Matt Lauer "so what?" "it was still a good idea to do it"
He & you are so dissalussioned about what a lie is. but I guess that depends on how you define 'is'.
He said 'mission accomplished'. then why is it not over if its said to be over? the commander in chief says "its accomplished, but we are not done yet!?!?"
Give us a break!

Yes, Clinton lied under oath and that was bad. But, honestly, I thought who he had sex with was nobody's business but his and his wife's unless it was a terrorist. He shouldn't have been put on trial or tried to be impeached just because he had an affair. That was extremely stupid, for the Republicans to do it and for Clinton to lie about it because not only do half the men in America cheat on their spouses, quite a few Presidents have also and not been put on trial for it. But nobody got killed because of his lies. They got humiliated, but noone died. Bush's lies and Clinton's are nowhere near the vicinity of the other and even though you didn't do it, the people who try to compare the two really irritate me.
I don't know about Michael Moore lying because I just don't pay him any attention at all (although I do love his documentary on Flint, Michigan and GM - forgot what that was named)

Michael Moore isn't president of the United States, so I don't care if he lies.
Bill Clinton lied about something of a personal sexual matter in which no one was killed, so I don't care about that lie.
George W Bush told lies that got thousands of innocent Americans needlessly killed, and thousand more innocent Iraqi citizens needlessly killed.
There is a BIG difference between the two. This is like comparing a wife who lies about buying a purse to one who lies about killing the family next door. It is ASININE to compare the two as if they were the same.
George W Bush is a war criminal, and should be punished in a court of law for his crimes. Stop pointing the Republican finger at anyone else who has ever told a lie that even remotely relates to politics, and clean up the criminals in your own yard.
Anyone who forgives Bush for his lie that got Americans killed in greater numbers than Vietnam, yet still whine and cry that Clinton cheated on his wife, they are a hypocrite and a sad human being.

good point.
i'd say that everybody lies.
clinton lied, although technically he didn't...(it depends on what "is" is)
i didn't look at your link but i'm certain that micheal moor has lied or at least played with the truth.
hell, i've even lied. just the other day i told my professor that i like michael bolton, just to get on his good side.
but we must also look at the motives and consequences of the lies we tell.
clinton wanted to cover up an affair he had with an intern. the consequence is arguable but he did get impeached.
m moore wanted to portray bush and his administration in a very bad light to make more money. with no real consequences, those that believe moore probably already disliked bush.
me, well i want a good grade in class, and i really cant think of any consequences.
but for bush, his motive was to dupe a nation into believing that we had to go to war. (now i agree that the intelligence on iraq was dubious at best, but i also believe that bush entered office wanting to do something to iraq, 9/11 gave him the opportunity.) the consequences for that lie...thousands of soldiers have died, thousands more put their life on the line everyday, we are spending billions in iraq that could be spent here in the us, and what ever moral authority the us had in the world has evaporated.

Oh my God, alert the press. This guy found out a huge secret, people involved in government lie. Yes Michael Moore lies and Clinton lied. You do have to look at the size of the lies. Everybody has denied somebody they had sex with, its called beer goggles. I'm liberal, but Michael Moore is a twit who makes all Democrats look bad. Bush's lie was a biggy. WMD's, Al-Qaida-Iraq link which was proved to be false. Lots of death caused by this lie. So trying to put these lies on the same scale (referring to Bush and Clinton, Michael Moore is too dumb to be in the conversation) is dramatically overstating one and understating another.

The only thing you've proved is that you're angry and unrepentant. Clinton lied. I'm sure Michael Moore lied. Bush lied. Cheney lied.
Bush got into the office by promising improved ethics over his predecessor. He just broke different commandments.

Yes, I admit that Bush, Clinton, and Moore have all lied. But Bush is our current president, so he gets the majority of the criticism. It is kind of useless to criticize Clinton when he how no power. Also, the type of things Bush has lied about are very serious in nature. That is were the big problem is. Lying about sex, I don't really care about. Lying about war, a tad bit worse.

michael moore is a liar bill clinton lied about monica but how you can compare those lies to the lies that bush has told is the joke. the only thing that clinton killed with his lie was the sperm on her dress. and the only killing michael moore made was at the box office.. Bush is killing the young men and women of america with his lies.....

I have never understood the liberals that said Bush lied his predecessor and congress saw all the same intelligence information he saw all the Democrats voted to authorize the war the UN drafted 17 resolution against Saddam Bush gave him 6 months to comply with the resolutions. Could some liberal please write some facts about the lie I keep hearing about. Sorry no rants I just want facts.
