Are republicans this desperate?

They've unleashed Slime Boat Liars For Bush 2.0, aimed at Obama.

Rmoney and Ryan just can *NOT* be honest about "Obamacare."

Jerome Corsi now claims Obama was married to a Pakistani guy when he was 10.

Are they simply giving up, and letting the nutcase contingent burn themselves out?

Does Romney believe Obama, foreign born, took over credit for Bin Laden, leaking classified information for political gain...Wait he has commented on it...actually accused the President of leaking confidential information at his VFW Speech, before his smash tour of the European continent. Romney a birther too? They are going to roll out in October....OBAMA IS BLACK, and fathered TWO BLACK DAUGHTERS.

Monkeys are flinging shit to see what sticks...America is getting a close look at these crazies. The ones infected with Fox Flu.

Any lie will do, no matter how outrageous. The racist gits will all jump on it as a dog whistle.
The media will report it, over and over again, as "news", because that helps the GOP.

Refuting the lie, and producing evidence to refute it, is better than ignoring it
but that won't make it go away.

I wouldn't assume they're desperate just because they're lying in increasingly obvious and bizarre ways. Their technique of the Loud Lie and the Quiet Retraction served them well during eight years of Shrubco. It's just part of their arsenal, now. If it ever stops working for them, they might stop. I don't see that happening any time soon.
