About Lunatics and Liars

Lunatics and Liars was created by producer & political activist Charlie Fink with three purposes in mind: (1) Engage in the growing online political dialog with humor and satire; (2) Encourage online videos producers to create new grassroots entertainment through contests and promotions and (3) Create a database of our favorite political videos.

Lunatics and Liars is a phrase from Paul Simon's song "Wartime Prayers", from his 2006 CD Surprise. "People hungry for the voice of God/Hear lunatics and liars". The truth as only a poet like Paul Simon could say it.
