Liberal obfuscation is the name given to the alleged tendency of liberals to use excessive words or manipulative phrases in order to distort the truth about controversial issues. Examples of liberal obfuscation include:
- instead of admitting that abortion increases the risk of breast cancer, liberals inject a compound negative and say, "abortion fails to provide the decrease in risk that giving birth provides"[1]
- instead of admitting that Democrats were wrong in opposing the Gulf War, John Kerry stated, "There is not a right or wrong here. There was a correctness in the president's judgment about timing. But that does not mean there was an incorrectness in the judgment other people made about timing. ... Again and again and again in the debate, it was made clear that the vote of the U.S. Senate and the House on the authorization of immediate use of force on Jan. 12 was not a vote as to whether or not force should be used."
