Really? Anyone at all fancy sticking to the facts?
I didn't call him a liar. I accused him of exactly what you just said; "repeating lies".
I also cautioned in my original post, that if someone repeats lies about a contentious issue on a public forum; an issue about which lots of people ARE lying, and we know this; then don't be surprised if people DO think you're lying. It's not an unreasonable thought in the context.
But I don't know that he is; and so never said he was. I simply stated that he is repeating damaging lies without bothering to fact check. And on issues like this (or Climate Change or anything else really important) that's not a million miles away from actual lying in my view.
