> "credible opposing evidence" = where?

With respect to Peterson's narrative about being denied his research grant as political retribution? I linked to one of the threads already where I argued that his narrative has no evidence to support it. Did you even bother looking?

> I wouldnt say he was lieing, hes just perpetuating a lie.

Well, you actually did say he was lying, rather strongly. You specifically said that he was "outright lying". Being consistent with your rhetoric isn't a strong point of yours, is it? Edit: my bad, thought I was responding to the guy who originally made the claim about Obama lying.

I don't actually agree with the study either and think that the criticisms that are leveraged against it are perfectly valid. Making the leap from this to accusing Obama of outright lying contributes nothing to the debate, and only serves to reveal the ideological lens through which you're viewing things.

> Anyone out there who is credible by your standards who is going to shed light on the issues he actually raises?

Free speech issues? Yes, there's plenty. See http://freespeechdebate.com . Timothy Garton Ash is one of the founders of that website and also has a great book on the topic. There's lots of intelligent debate that can be had on the topic without appealing to neo-Marxist conspiracy theories or "Hurr durr SJWs!!!" sloganeering.
