Some folks, it seems, are incapable of learning from their mistakes. Jim Hoft, who blogs as “Gateway Pundit”, is apparently one of these.
Despite the fact that his lies have been exposed again and again and again, he continues to lie. This time, he posts a deliberate misquote of a statement from Barack Obama:
"US Troops Are Just Air Raiding Villages & Killing Civilians"
Hoft even posts the video of Obama’s remarks:
Listen to the video. Does Obama use the phrase “US Troops Are Just Air Raiding Villages & Killing Civilians”? Nope.
Yes, he says something very similar, and the meaning of what he said can certainly be debated — but that debate can take place without deliberately misquoting the man. Yet that is what Jim Hoft, a lying pig turd of a non-man if ever there was one, has done.
There is no lie that Jim Hoft will not tell.
That bears repeating:
THERE IS NO LIE THAT JIM HOFT WILL NOT TELL.
Keep lying, Jimbo.
It really is the only talent you have.
UPDATE 08/16/07 07:12 AM: Notice the tactics employed in the attacks on me in the comments below. This is what could be termed the “pack of hyenas” gambit. The idea is to flood the comments thread with multiple declarations that my detractors have “won the debate” — and therefore, magically, they have won the debate without ever demonstrating that my original statement was in error.
As to Duncan Avatar’s argument that Hoft “paraphrased” Obama: That might be believable if we did not have multiple instances of Hoft lying to his readers in the past. But since we do know that Hoft deliberately lies about what other people have said, the “paraphrase” defense is untenable.

So then who is the “We” that obama is talking about if not the U.S. Troops?

For purposes of this discussion, I frankly don’t give a damn what Obama said.
Shitmonkey again demonstrates that it is too goddamn stupid to understand what’s being discussed.
It is possible to discuss what Obama, or anyone else, has said without deliberately misquoting the speaker. Jim Hoft chose instead to lie.

Meatbrain. I do believe kender just called you out. You might disagree, somehow, in some way, that Obama meant something else, I guess. But I do believe that he was talking about the US and NATO troops killing civilians in “air-raids”. No other way I can think of that you can paint that. So if Obama was not talking about the US/NATO in that comment.. who exactly is ‘we’? The Senator and his wife? Perhaps the Democrats in the Senate? The Democratic Congress? Or is he just using the “royal” we? Please. Enlighten us.

Bullshit, Duncan. Shitmonkey doesn’t have the balls to call out an arthritic chipmunk.
Get this straight: This is not about what Obama said. This is about the fact that Jim Hoft deliberately misquoted someone again. He’s too stupid to understand that he’s going to get caught when he does that. You and shitmonkey are too gutless and dishonest to discuss the fact that Hoft lies, repeatedly and without the slightest trace of conscience.

Hey Meatball,
People, writers and journalists and others quite often use the grammar skill known as PARAPHRASING. Ever heard of that? ( I didn’t think so.)
You use it all the time yourself.
And since when it is ok to use your own previous posts as sources? It’s poor blogmanship you know. It would be one thing if you were an expert on these issues; it would be one thing if you held any credibility on these subjects. But you don’t. You’re just another person who blogs, like the rest of us. So get over yourself.
I watched the video and Obama said what he said. Like it or not, and it appears that even YOU see an opening for some debate here on what he said and how it should be taken. The world isn’t always black and white now is it? For you, it is when you’re attacking one of us. But when we throw it back at you, the world suddenly is full of color.
You’re no expert on much of anything. Stop trying to be someone you’re not. You’re going to get caught when you do that. Again and again.
PARAPHRASE. Look it up.

I don’t know if Jim Hoft lied or not. However, I do believe what he did could be called paraphrasing as opposed to misquoting, after all, all he changed was the word ‘we’ to the word ‘US’, which is not a misquote, unless ofcourse Obama meant somebody else with the word we, which you can’t argue against because you know it to be true.
Here is the link to explain paraphrase for you:

And here is the link to explain misquote for you:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misquote

One other note. I don’t read Jim Hoft’s site. I am not aware of any past lies or misquotes. But if this is your definition of lying.. then I am less than likely to take it on your word..

Meaty,
I just went over to Gateway Pundit to actually take a look at the article. The phrase you are referring to is in the title. It is a paraphrase of what Obama said. He has the actual quote below the title for all to read. If Jim Hoft were a lier, which I think is less and less likely considering your lack of a coherent response, then he probably would have misquoted the actual quote, not just paraphrased the title to reflect EXACTLY what Obama meant by his words.
You are a pseudo-intellectual. You think that you are nuanced and witty. Perhaps it is the thesaurus that you keep handy or something. But you are not all the bright. This is a losing argument, and you know it. It show that you are as much of a ideologically blinded person as the people you pretend to crusade, or perhaps jihad, against. Sometimes I wonder why I even stop by this place as you are a tiresome bore who sticks his fingers in his ears and just keeps repeating his argument over and over not realizing that it has been shot all to pieces by everyone else.
You are sad. Perhaps in person and without any political discussion you are a decent person. But on this blog, you are a sad little piece of “thinking meat”.

No. dipshit. He did not misquote Obama. You’d know it if your head weren’t planted directly in your ass.
He paraphrased and you know it. Yet your ideological blinders are on and you can’t see it, or perhaps you can but now you feel you have to hold your ground lest you look like more of a douche than you already are.
You know you are wrong, and you do what you always do when you know you are wrong, you stick your fingers in your ears and just keep saying the same thing over and over and over.
That is not an argument. You are not using any type of info or persuasion to win this argument. All you can hang your hat on is that the title of the post isn’t a word for word quote, so it must be a misquote and/or a lie. That my dear douchebrain, is as limp an argument as I have ever heard when the obvious answer is that he paraphrased Obama for use in his title. I used to think that perhaps you were just a little zealous in your attacks of conservatives that sometimes you went overboard.

Meaty,
You are going to be waiting for a long time. Your arguments are built on the premise that the ‘quote’ was meant to be a direct and actual word for word quote when instead it was a paraphrase for us as a TITLE FOR A POST about Obama’s comment, which was included. I have already told you that he did not misquote him. And he didn’t. When I said that he PARAPHRASED HIM, I am implying, and conceded the point, that the quote in the title IS NOT A DIRECT, WORD FOR WORD QUOTE. There douchebag. I have explained to you my position and given an actual argument.

Meaty, you have so lost this one. First off you wont answer my question because you know that obama WAS indeed saying that it was American troops killing civilians in air strikes (see how I totally put what he said in a new and different way of stating it? I bet that phrasing will drive your stupid ass nuts)
THEN you call Raven a bitch because we have you on the ropes and you can’t think of anything smarter to say.
While the point of your post may be that you think Hoft lied, teh question we are asking is is how did he lie, and if obama wasn’t not saying that it is american soldiers killing civilians in afghanistan in air strikes then who was obama talking about.
The fact that you can’t even come up with a pretend answer to my question shows you are wrong and picking at scabs that don’t exist.
You are the king of dumbasses, and the more you rail about me being a shitmonkey instead of answering legit questions shows how hollow your arguments are and what an ignorant load of bloomer pudding you really are.
So basically you have been schooled, and I think the three readers you have would like to know who obama was speaking of when he said what he said.
Can you handle that? Or do you need time to wring out your drool bib, adjust your helmet and get another Mt. Dew?

I love it when Meaty loses an argument. He gets off topic so quick, or he just keeps repeating himself like a broken record, totally disregarding your argument or not even challenging it in any meaningful way, other than just repeating himself. Now all he can focus on his that I implied that he enjoying looking at gay porn, and that I must have lost the argument because I had to resort to questioning his sexuality (another meaty favorite tactic.. straw men). In fact, I won the argument long ago, but simply crawled into the gutter insults with meaty when it became that obvious that he was just going to keep doing the standard meaty…

I see, Duncan and the others attack a person’s sexuality when they are losing the argument. So what exactly are you doing Meaty, when you call people cowards, shitmonkeys, and bitches? Is that what YOU do when you are losing???
As for the word WE vs. US Troops. We is a personal pronoun which takes the place of a noun. Since B. Hussein Obama was talking about our military (as in US Troops) when he used the personal pronoun WE, the word we may be substituted for US Troops and vice versa.
It might have been better if he had written Obama: We [US Troops] ...
but he did not. In any event, they have the same literal meaning.
I admit it might not be the neatest way to write it but it is certainly much better than when you, Meaty, misquote or cherry-pick our blogs to make it look like we [personal pronoun meaning the bloggers] meant something different than what is actually conveyed.
OK, I am done, please get back to whipping out your baby batter. Remember that you are helping mankind because every load that hits the toilet is one more load that can not reproduce a meathead.

Meaty: “pig turd of a non-man” your phrase to describe Jim Hoft. Now, using your sense of propriety, I’m going to guess that you can substantiate that he is A) a “non-man” and thus, either a woman or a being of another species; and B) you can chemically substantiate that he is composed of the excrement of swine.
I’m waiting meaty. Or, did you use a tad bit of hyperbole or did you LIE?
Oh, and so that you won’t accuse me of taking your comment out of context, here is the whole sentence: “Yet that is what Jim Hoft, a lying pig turd of a non-man if ever there was one, has done.”
Oh, and meaty, let me add that when you included the phrase ”... if there ever was one, ...” you have made a statement of fact. Now, I know for an absolute fact that Jim is a male of the species Homo Sapiens and that he is composed of the same type of flesh that both you and I are made of, thus, calling him a pig turd and a non-man is a flat out lie in your oh so rightous, indignant LIE of a post.

I DID say the words. I DID mean what I said too- that American troops are just killing citizens by air raids and other means. We’re at war for Pete’s sake Meatbrain. Use your sense of logic. An illegal war; a war that was started based on faulty intelligence and BIG OIL needs; a war that Bush cannot get us out of. BUT I CAN.
My plan is to offer platters of cookies and Milk to the enemies. From what I have read here though perhaps you have a better idea, my friend!
We will offer the enemies jars of Jergens Lotion and Gallons of Mountain Dew! That will win over the hearts and minds of enemies everywhere. MeatBrain I need your help. YOU need to show the enemy how to use that Jergens- they don’t know of such things?

RE: Your update.
The problem, as I see it, is that you have designated yourself as the supreme lie detector. Every instance where you say he lied you link to a post that YOU wrote saying he lied. Maybe this has never occurred to you but just because YOU said he lied does not make it so.
As demonstrated by those above, you have lied yourself, based upon your standard, and since we know you have lied in the past (by using the same hyperbole) then you must also be a liar.
Why don’t you find a reputable source to prove the guy lied. Once again, just because you said it does not make it so.
August 16th, 2007 at 10:37 am

That is not my claim. I compare what Hoft says to the facts. When that comparison shows that Hoft has not represented the facts accurately, the obvious conclusion is that he has lied.
Since you reject the facts as a ‘reputable source’, it is clear that there is no source you would accept.

Meaty. Let me clarify my statement for you….
You said
“Incorrect. Hoft’s past lies are facts, not a belief.”
I replied.. even giving in to your statement that Hoft had lied in the past.
“Way to go meaty. I guess you can always hang your hat on those past lies.. especially since there is no evidence of a current one…”
I simply told you that you still couldn’t defend your stance that in this instance that Hoft lied. Using the argument that “he lied before, therefore this time he lies” is not a very logical statement and it makes you look denser than a black hole. I’d like to think that this entire post and comments section is not proof that you indeed are not very bright. Perhaps you are a sadist and you enjoy getting your ass handed to you in shreds. Or perhaps you enjoy the debate, even if you get your ass handed to you in shreds.. maybe both…

We handed your ass to you meaty.
A LOT!!!
And aside from proving you are a liar you prove you are a hypocritical coward.’

How embarrassing to be you.

No, it isn’t. It’s a straw man — an argument I did not make.
The statement that Hoft lied isn’t based on his past behavior. It’s based on a simple comparison between what Hoft quoted Obama as saying, and what Obama actually said. The comparison shows that what Hoft quoted Obama as saying is not what Obama said. Hoft lied.
I discussed Hoft’s past behavior in the context of Duncan’s attempt to excuse the lie as a mere “paraphrase”. The excuse fails because Hoft routinely lies about what others have said. It is irrational to believe that Hoft would suddenly stop lying and start meekly paraphrasing.

Cognitive dissonance.
You say that you don’t make an argument that “because of Hoft lied before, there fore this time he lies.”
You then just repeat your crappy argument that it was not a word for word quote when it was a paraphrase for a title, which has been shown to be a weak stance that is easily debunked.
AND THEN. Oh, this is just PRICELESS. You go and say that the PARAPHRASE ‘excuse fails because Hoft routinely lies’ and that it ‘is irrational to believe that Hoft would suddenly stop lying and start meekly paraphrasing’, thereby propping your horribly weak and pathetic argument up with the VERY STRAWMAN YOU CLAIM NOT TO HAVE CREATED!!
OMG! Just admit it. You don’t like Hoft. And, no pun intended, but you are grasping at straws here to justify and rationalize your accusation that Hoft lied. I won’t even gloat that you are wrong if you just admit that, atleast in this instance, you went overboard in your jihad, and that you feel that if you admit you are wrong in this instance, you can never be trusted or taken seriously again. My friend, by continually repeating a position that has been shown to be weak and untenable, using logic and rationalizations that don’t stand up to any reasonable scrutiny, you are losing what credibility you have left. Instead you are becoming a moonbat shit crazy spittle spewing liberal.. the kind that only attract similar kinds to read his blog. Perhaps you should set up shop at Kos. THey’d welcome this kind of crap over there. And no one would challenge you in that little echo chamber….

Oh and by the way. You are a liar. Using Meaty logic that is. After all, your “update” on this post is dated “08/06/07”, when the post is dated August 15th, 2007. Meaty logic… I think I just coined a new term…

No. The statement that Hoft lied doesn’t depend upon disproving a claim that he merely paraphrased. That statement depends only upon comparing the alleged quote that Hoft used with the actual content of Obama’s remarks. Since the former is not found in the latter, Hoft’s “quote” is a lie.
Fixed. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

Meaty,
Just keep on calling Hoft a liar for his paraphrasing of Obama’s statement. I won’t argue with you any more on it and we’ll just have to agree to disagree. Anyone that stops by here can read the points and counterpoints and make their decision. See ya!

Someone will, no doubt, explain to me why agreeing to disagree requires characterizing one’s opponent as a “crazed, spittle spewing bat$h!t crazy moonbat”.

Agreeing to disagree has nothing to do with characterizing one’s opponent as a “crazed, spittle spewing bat$h!t crazy moonbat”.
That characterization is used regardless of the debate because it fits so well.
But, one could ask why agreeing to disagree requires people to be called pig turds and cowards.
Meaty, even though you fixed the lie you were caught in (the lied about date) that does not negate the fact that, using meaty logic, you are a liar.

Meaty, you are a hypocritical lying coward.
Anyone of any intelligence that reads this thread will realize what an ass you have made of your self on it, and what little credibility you may have believed yourself to hold is now gone.
So why won’t you answer the question?

I don’t know that Duncan characterized you as such. He said that because of your acts you were becoming that. Characterizing and becoming are two different things.
Did you lie about that characterization part, Meaty???
Are you lying AGAIN???
