Was not intended to be a factual statement 

... is the credo of the republican party! The GOP intentionally tells blatant lies and, when caught, responds with their national credo. "This remark was not intended to be a factual statement"

GOP: The world is made up of 98% dead babies!
Person With Brains: That is just not even close to being true!
GOP: Well... That remark was not intended to be a factual statement.
PWB: Then why did you say it?
GOP: We never expected to get caught!
PWB: Then it is a blatant lie!
GOP: Sure, if you look at it that way. We conservatives don't see things that way.
PWB: Um... Yeah... a lie!

was not intended to be a factual statement 

A clause which, when placed at the end of a sentence or simply used as an excuse after the fact, will allow you to say anything you want.

It was first made popular by politician Jon Kyl when making a bogus statement about Planned Parenthood, and then taken to even greater heights on The Colbert Report. This is a prime example of colberrorism.

Jon Kyl is the only person who can sneeze with his penis. He calls it a sneenis. That was not intended to be a factual statement.
