Romney didn't lie. This entire issue goes back to the Left's intentional misrepresentation, distortion, spin on such things as Mitt's 47% comment, and also Obama's " you didn't build that " remark. 2 specific instances where the Left absolutely inverts reality on its head, in order to trash ( or cover for ) a candidate by flipping what was said to mean the exact opposite.
There's no reasoning with some folks. Despite all the phony 'gestapo state' claims the Left made about W, he never had anyone thrown in jail for simply making a crude, moronic YouTube video. Oh, sure, they'll buy the " official " story, that the film maker is a slime ball, and he's really in jail for violating his terms of probation. But they know as well as the rest of us, that Obama had this guy tossed in jail, so he could be seen by the Muslim world as standing up for Mohammed, and not let our 1st Amendment Rights bother him, or hinder doing what he wants to do.
