Republicans are just making weird stuff up now

I've read the weirdest things about Clinton - just bizarre, crazy things. Does anyone actually believe this stuff? I mean really crazy stuff like that she is an ISIS supporter, or that she's personally killed a bunch of people. Is this just desperation?

They're off the rails. GOP campaign death throes?

1. Most of this from Roger Stone, right?

He's been screaming the loudest lately about the "Clinton Body Count."

Like the "Clinton illegitimate kid," it was debunked decades ago.

But since they have nothing, (or don't feel like doing the work on Hillary's Wall Street connections,) the right wing is going after the easy stuff.

4. Just on Twitter and Facebook, everywhere anyone talks about Clinton

Especially in replies to anything Clinton posts. They're just going crazy. The stuff they're posting doesn't even make sense. It's all just wild and bizarre.

10. Yep, it was their producer's goofy way of counting off

Mutt Lange, a monster musician came up with the gibberish. It's sort of a much hipper way to say, "A-one and a-two and a-three..."

I had never seen it written out, though. Enjoy your day, Archae!

Republicans have been making up stuff about Bill and Hillary Clinton for decades!

The Clinton's have been accused of murder, theft, fraud, rape and other violence and crimes. With all of their allegations and investigations, all the Republicans ever got on them was Mr. Clinton's perjury about consensual sex between two adults.

Just imagine if the GOP had directed all of that energy towards work for our nation.

Actually, all that's left is to claim that the Clintons came from Alpha Centauri.

3. Sadly, I think some do believe it all. We have quite a lunatic fringe in the US. At one time

it was estimated to be about 20% or so, but it seems it has gone up quite a bit over the years. Sadly, this election is filled with tabloid journalism. Sometimes I think even well meaning individuals have no F'en idea what to believe, which leaves it a playground for republican operatives plus the lunatic fringe. And, others make big $$$$$'s off of it.

11. 20 years ago the right was claiming she killed 200 people.

She killed Vince Foster because "the body was moved and (somehow) that PROVES she killed him." Clinton was guilty in Whitewater because "I saw a picture of that check and it was fraudulent" blah, blah...and of course "Bill Clinton was laughing at Ron Brown's funeral" and "there was one survivor of the plane crash and it was a stewardess and a black helicopter came and picked her up and when she got on the black helicopter she was alive and when she got off she was dead and..." At least, according to 1990s right wing talk radio and some of my relatives.

Stuff like this is all over my facebook. I can barely go on there for more than five minutes with out being bombarded with bizarre theories. Or the idiots that just share whatever article they see that mentions "Hillary" and "prison" in the same headline. It's so dumb.

13. Anthony Weiner being alive is proof that Hillary doesn't murder anyone.
