I think that the ALJ called me a liar, in essence because he just did not believe my testimony and did not explain why he/she felt I was less than fully credible. How do I appeal that?

The ALJ must adequately assess your credibility and state reasons why he believed or disbelieved you at your hearing.  If you think that that happened, you may assert in your appeal that “The ALJ failed to adequately assess or evaluate my credibility.”
