I have hoped and wished for someone to use their media moments to speak up about our absence of an important - kind of childish, grammar lesson about using the word “lie.” We abuse it to a degree that we have forgotten and in so doing have abused it’s best definition; exploitatively.
From Dictionary.Com:
From Dictionary.Com:
“A false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.
Synonyms: prevarication, falsification.
Antonyms: truth.”
As a civil society practicing democracy, we’ve blown-it when we haphazardly throw accusations that have no evidence at our candidates seeking to represent us. At home and at work we treat each other this way and it is horrible communication and could be a causality of the destruction of a healthy democracy and its use as weapon of communication should be considered inappropriate in any discourse regarding anyone.
We don’t preposition its’ use with qualifying language that makes the accusation reasonable as an opinion. We toss it out like a true object of solid matter at those we have bias against. It is immature and defeating to all sides.
The accusation of a lie is largely an indignant and empty of substance, diminutive assault on anyone disliked by anyone.
Using it as an accusation is in the majority of cases an baseless abuse of its meaning. We need to cut-this-out. We need to make strong words like this important again and not 99% baseless assault.

See that half way down this page [LINK], 4 out of the 5 examples taken from a search of the Daily Beast are headlines using the word lie as an accusation. You can bet; each accusation would be proven to be false, as empty of any evidence of intent to knowingly tell a distruth.
