typical right wing response, trying to make a word to fit what they are saying.
I'm using the frigging definition for tripe that YOU provided and as usual, when you get yourself in one of these spots, you fall back on partisan rhetoric

Would you say that someone who made false statements for 3 years such as Casey Anthony did, is not lying?
No, and this has nothing to do with whether the writing proffered in the opening post of this thread can be both tripe and not false in someone's opinion.

It has been ruled in court that her false statements were lies so prove now that she didn't lie.
No thank you, this is your strawman, not mine.

Here is another take on what I am saying and about half way down it talks about false statements being lies
This is what makes having a conversation with you so impossible. You are constantly changing the subject.

The claim you made that I am taking issue with is that calling something tripe is the same as saying it is false.

According to the definition YOU supplied, this is wrong. Once shown this, to continue to contend that tripe and false are synonyms is a lie using whatever normally accepted definition of lie you link to.
