Most of all of our postings are speculation, conjecture, falsehoods, hyperbole and outright distortions
Michelle Obama said she was not proud of her country until her hubby got the nomination. That's fact.
You said Christie turned down the VP slot because he thought Romney couldn't win. That's made up jibberish.
If you want to categorize yourself as guilty of falsehoods and distortions, I agree with you, that's what you do. Please refrain from lumping others into that categorization.

Seriously, your post is exactly why when I fish w/others from this site people frequently bring you up (unprompted) - lighten up.
Show me some falsehoods.
distortions- your the one who constantly puts up threads about something you see and then attributes it to all liberals.
Spence, is this a fact, or not? In Spenceworld, can something not be considered a fact if it makes Michelle Obama look like the azzhole she is?
It's a fact when you take her quote out of context. She went on to add that what she was feeling proud about was people uniting around a common cause. She did this twice, in scripted speeches.

I didn't take anything out of context. If her intended context was what you claim, than she should have said what you claim she meant to say.
So she was saying that Americans, prior to the summer of 2008, have never "united around a common cause"? No??
Spence - to reiterate...I did not take Michelle's line out of context...I simply failed to state her reason for not being proud of America until 2008. But you stated her reason, and I'm sure you're correct...in the mind of Michelle Obama, Americans had never united around a common cause in way that was worthy of her pride. That is why she wasn't proud of America.
The question then is, does she have a valid point, or is she a greedy, hate-mongering, race-baiter?
America has done a lot to be proud of...we have free elctions every year...we saved the world in 1942. we are a beacon of light to people everywhere who want to be free...we are the most generous nation in the history of the planet. And speaking for Michelle Obama, America didn't treat her all that poorly - Ivy League education, jobs on a hospital board paying hundrds of thousands of dollars a year.
She wasn't proud of any of that. None of that mattered until we coronated her husband as king and deity.
