Got Euphemisms for "Liar"?

[sgdp]

Well, since we can't say "liar" or "intellectually dishonest," anymore...

I propose the Hannityland board members get a little creative and figure out what we... can say. That's the American way, right? Just barely skirt the law. ;)

Maybe give them a little "Cross-eyed Pinocchio"?

How about some "Mythomaniac"?

Yeah? You like that? Mmhm. Take that!

Go!

"It turns out not to be the case as Mr. X presents."

"Perhaps those figures would be correct if we were using the metric system, but I doubt it."

When Nixon was caught lying his press secretary would say that the statement was "inoperative" or was no longer operative.

When I was a little girl, my parents did not allow me to use the terms lie and liar.

I was required to say someone was telling a story or that they were a storyteller.

Maybe my Mommy's rules will work for the idiot that is oh so concerned about the President being called a liar.

I wonder if that dweeb ever complained about the names George Bush was called.

[mysticbeauty_nbeast]

Oh..I like that Bella..that's works...telling stories...(we called them big fish stories when I was growing up.) I think it's just the fix the OP was looking for. :clap::clap: Well done m'dear...well done indeed!

Someone else made this up during the campaign, but it goes like this:

"All of Obama's statemets have an expiration date. All of them."

Liar=Truth Deficient?

Intellectually Dishonest=Cranially Pretentious?

[angelicmadrigal]

I think if you want to call someone a liar you should have the guts to just come out and say it, and suck up the punishment. That's just me however.

[BrittleBullet]

Fact malfunction.

[Samm]

How about simply: Obama

... and a lie would then be an obamination.

Obama is the most accomplished liar I have ever witnessed... better by far than Bill & Hillary. He is so good at lying it is impossible to tell when he is telling the truth.

[grapabeaux]

"It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that's not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything. It's certainty. People love the President because he's certain of his choices as a leader, even if the facts that back him up don't seem to exist. It's the fact that he's certain that is very appealing to a certain section of the country. I really feel a dichotomy in the American populace. What is important? What you want to be true, or what is true?…"

I found this quote at the Wiki site for the term (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthiness) I was thinking of as a substitute for calling a lie a lie. I have to chuckle at how easily a sentiment like the one above can survive from one administration to another.

Selling snake oil?
Weaving a rug? (i.e. he lies like a rug)
Publishing a fantasy?
Just Obama speak?

[Dragon1963]

A virulent form of untruth.

A major lack of honesty.

A factual unreality.

[Claymore]

A DB full of BS.

cognitive dissonance...2 opposing ideas held in mind at the same time

Would calling something a white lie be considered factually racist?:D:wall:
