Apparently the liberal strategy is when someone says something embarassing, simply deny that it was ever said regardless of the evidence.
Did you watch the video? McLellan clearly says, "That's accurate." and nothing more. No matter how much he denies what he really said, his facial movements simply leave no room for any further syllables.
However, altering the actual transcript and trying to get the press in general to also do so is completely unacceptable.
My question stands. Why is it ok for liberals but not conservatives?

As stated many times, a fact a couple of you ignore, is that I believe any such manipulation is wrong. It should be obvious from the responses that liberals think it is ok for their demagogues to act in such a manner.
Sorry, but that wingnut response just doesn't fly. If you "believe such manipulation is wrong," why is it NOT OK to out it, no matter who lied and who exposed it?

So many lies; so little time. :roll:

I never said that its ok for liberals to do so, but based on your response so far, I'd conclude liberals must be sqeaky clean because you can't list a single incident similar to this! Actually denying what was said in a transcript and refusing to check the evidence yourself is extremely bizzare behavoir by any measure. At least given the evidence you've given, the situation with Hillary is not even remotely the same sort of situation.
