They can’t handle the truth

Spending time at Huffington Post can be one interesting experience. It is impressive to watch an entire segment of society engaging in self-indulgence and self-delusion. If Barack Obama told them Mitt Romney was an alien from Remulak and his house had to be burned down and he had to be destroyed they'd do without so much as a thought. When confronted with facts, they simply deny them. They stick their fingers in their ears, close their eyes and yell "LALALALALALALA." "Liar" is the word of the day for Mitt Romney.

A sampling:

electricsoul:

As if we didnt already know but this further proves the man to be a big liar. He isnt even a good liar. Lying about somethng so rediculous. This man has no character at all.

Hardyman1966:

I see potential felony fraud allegations on the horizon with the SEC.

The lies are starting to close in and all those people representing you are going to start telling the truth or start to back away...just a matter of time.

Fact check-Smack check. Let's do a REALITY check.

Looking down the page I see a lot of Romney supporters in panic mode trying to change the subject rather than address Mitt Romney's lies and his possible commission of a felonies in the process.

What is the truth? The truth is that Romney has been telling the truth, says the NY Times:

President Obama and the Democrats are questioning whether Mr. Romney really left Bain in February 1999, when he took over the Olympics. And Mr. Romney and the Republicans are insisting that he ended his day-to-day management role at Bain after taking the Olympics job.

At stake is whether Democrats can hold Mr. Romney responsible for a series of now-controversial investments Bain made during the period in question, including in companies that specialized in outsourcing, laid off some of their workers or declared bankruptcy.

Great levity ensued when Ed GIllespie described Romney as having "retired retroactively" but that was exactly what happened:

When confronted with facts, they simply deny them. They stick their fingers in their ears, close their eyes and yell "LALALALALALALA."

That's pretty typical.

Here's a short clip of what it's like to argue with a Democrat.
