Fraud is against the Law on the internet and consitutes and/or involves the use of lying. Don't quit your day job to practice law, because you suck at it. Lying is not the sole constituent of fraud. There has to deception for personal gain. And it has to be pretty cut-and-dried that "lie A" resulted in "theft B", not just that you told a lot of lies to make people think you're a big man, and that caused people to trust you who shouldn't have. Saying "I was in Viet Nam" on a web site is not fraud. Saying "I was in Viet Nam" in an application for vets benefits is fraud. Saying "I'm a doctor" in a bar to pick up women isn't fraud, but saying "I'm a doctor" and offering to perform a medical exam is fraud. Bill O'Reilly tells worse lies every day, and all that happens to him is that Al Franken writes books about him. -- Paul Tomblin http://blog.xcski.com/ Where a calculator on the ENIAC is equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and weigh only 1 1/2 tons. ---Popular Mechanics, March 1949 |

Franken is as big a liar as anyone, the difference is he's constantly vulgar when he does it. I lost a lot of respect for him when I realized he can't make a cogent argument without spewing filth.
