I don't think anyone in the world understood "anybody" to include toddlers.

OK. How about the 8 million residents of NYC? How far do you want to defend an obviously false statement just because it supports your point of view?

Yes, that was a serious exaggeration.

Gospel truth compared to anything that comes out of Trump's mouth, of course. And this is the irritating part. It's like when a Washington Post story gets called a lie for getting some details wrong, when the Washington Times gets a pass for complete BS, because we expect that.

How about we just call false false regardless of who’s saying it and make our political arguments to one another in true and accurate statements?

No statement is completely true of accurate. We'd have to agree to do the same level of nitpicking on statements we do and don't disagree with. Which is a great ideal.

If you want to equivocate to make Obama’s statement look better, that’s fine. I still believe in true and false. At least the lower-case versions

So a story that's accurate except that it calls Lindsey Graham a senator from Georgia is false, period, end of story?
