A conservative here recently claimed that Media Matter lies.
I went to the website and typed "Glenn Beck lies."
I found a story called, "Beck distorts Obama's language terrorism."
Here it is: http://mediamatters.org/research/201007200001
The crux of the story is this quote from Beck, alleging that Obama doesn't use the term "terrorist" or "terrorism."
"BECK: Let's refresh our memories on what this administration said it believed. And I'm -- I have to tell you something. I'm looking for people who actually believed this president. January 15, 2009: "There is no terrorism. It's man-caused disasters." Really? March 13, 2009, the administration said there's no such thing as an enemy combatant. Why? Because enemy combatants -- well, we'd be able to put them in jail, now wouldn't we? March 13: "The war on terror doesn't exist. It's the overseas contingency operation." Yeah. Yeah. Then May 26, Brennan proclaims: "Jihadists are not the enemy.""
The story then goes on to show that Beck was either lying or ignorant. The story provides multiple examples of Obama using precisely that terminology.
So, Conservatives, what do you have to complain about?
Beck was caught either intentionally lying or being woefully unprepared and ignorant of the matter he was speaking about that day.Why get mad at Media Matters for pointing that out?
