Davo: Viss1 quoted Senator Frist, and said Frist lied. In your reply you don't clearly deny that Frist lied, but you put the word "lying" in quotes, leading your audience to believe that you think Frist didn't lie. You also say "nice try," which sarcastically implies that Viss1 failed to show that Frist lied.

So tell us, Davo, are you saying that Frist didn't lie in this instance? I eagerly await your response.


Frist would be an idiot to try to convince people that he said or didn't say something that is he is officially on record as saying. Because of that, I believe he wasn't really denying saying something; rather, I think he got some of his past words mixed up. I also think there's a little bit of stretching going on here. 'Based on footage...she responded' and 'seems to respond' seem like quite the step to 'she responds'. I could understand if Frist didn't believe he ever said 'she responded'. I guess it all depends on what the definition of 'is' is.

'Nice try' was directed at the lame attempt to pin this 'great lie' on a Republican as some sort of equivalence to the great lies that Democrats have been caught in in the past. Ever since Clinton was caught lying, the left has been trying to catch Republicans in lies (see Bush 'lying' about intelligence), but they have failed in every attempt, including this one.
