According to Politifact, One Political Party Has Their Pants On Fire. Guess Which?
Nate SmithinPolitics 15 hours ago
A recent study (click here for the press release) by the Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) has found that Republicans have lied far more than Democrats in the first 4 months of Obama's second term (January 20th through May 22nd, 2013). The study looks at ratings by the fact-checking organization Politifact of 100 statements (46 by Democrats and 54 by Republicans), finding that
32% of Republican statements were rated "false" or "pants on fire," while only 11% of Democratic claims earned the same ratings.
54% of Democratic statements were rated as mostly true or true, but only 18% of Republican claims rated the same.
.......
But it's hard to ignore the seemingly obvious: maybe Republicans are lying more. Do they have more reason to? Well, for one, they have a habit of disagreeing with the vast majority of scientists regarding climate change. Denial of evolution is another point of disagreement with the scientific community that is far more pervasive on the right than on the left. Maybe this habit of denial has extended to their statements regarding policy, as well — surely not all of the statements in the CMPA study were about climate change or creationism.

The last major paragraph seems to indicate that disagreeing with the scientific theory du jour makes one a "liar".
I guess that would have made anyone who disagreed with eugenics or that we were entering an ice age in the 1970s a liar as well.
