The example sited Hoppy isn't necessarily a case of OT lying about the subject at hand. It is a case though of showing how intellectually dishonest OT is.
For instance, in a phone call to me he proclaims he's "really quite conservative". We all know this to be bull crap.
If you want to see how conservatives think, look at some of the responses in the thread I linked above where OT was whining about Romney and his "ultra rich" buddies. To a person, everyone of them said much the same thing......taking advantage of legal loopholes in the tax laws is not only moral, it's the intelligent thing to do.....regardless of wether one is saving $1 or $1 billion.
That's how conservatives think.
Now, had I not posted this comment before OT could respond, he'd have probably come back with some smart answer about how the average guy here that he's helping isn't in the ultra rich category. And technically, I suspect that's correct. But again, that really has nothing to do with anything.
TrinityMan thinks his mother's share of the place MIGHT reach $1MM. Yeah, that's a decent sum of money, but we all know it's not ultra rich. However, to the guy who's making minimum wage, or living off the gubmint, $1MM sounds like someone who's ultra rich.
Therein lies the problem.
Voters like OT who demonize others solely based on vague terms about their wealth are what's wrong with America today. And they are the people who will ultimately lead to the country's demise via repressive policies against those they've deemed are not paying their fair share.
Hence my comments about noting the irony of OT preaching exactly what he's demonized others for doing.....taking advantage of legal tax loopholes.
In short, he's a hypocrite. But then, that's not really news here.
