Au contraire. We need to be much more willing to call "lies" on the people who are lying. 

Not doing so is why we are in this mess. Many of seem to have forgotten that The Donald rode into politics on the basis of one lie: that Barrack Obama was born in Kenya. It was proven as a lie almost from the outset, yet for some reason the media felt they needed to show respect for this clownish crook's verbal spew, so nobody ever called him the liar that he was and is. Meanwhile millions of fools were duped by his charade and now actually BELIEVE that Obama was a tyrannical Muslim, raised from an early age to rise to the Presidency and then impose Sharia law on our great and shining nation. 

So: RG, thank you for calling a lie a lie.
