Well, I just so happen to think undermining the American democratic process by calling into question the legitimacy of the (undesired) election results is pretty serious.
This has happened time and time again anytime we somehow end up electing a Republican...
No they don't. Rumsfeld had to create a special office inside the Pentagon to manufacture evidence so the WMD case could be created. They didn't use the intelligence agencies, they went around them as much as they could to create "alternate facts".
The idea that Obama has managed to do the same thing as Bush, but using 10 or so intelligence agencies to "manufacture evidence" is a lunacy. The Bush administration had to go through huge lengths to build up a false case for war. Obama just asked his intelligence agencies to give him their opinion.
You can use the crimes of the Bush Admnistration to call anything and everything that comes out of government a lie. But all that you're doing is critiquing the Bush admnistration. Not all administrations are guilty of wildly deceiving the public.
