GOP goes ape after Trump calls McConnell "that lying smarmy-mouthed hypocritical hillbilly"

[DFW]

Oh, wait. They didn't and he didn't?

But that's how Republicans get their news these days. Somebody posts some ridiculous piece of BS on the internet, or says it on Fox Noise, and it gets posted around a few hundred thousand times until Lenin's observation takes over: a lie shouted loud enough and often enough becomes the truth, and inside of a week ten million Republicans believe it.

I thought they were leading by example. How was I to know that only Republicans were expected to do that? My bad.

Never mind.

(Feel free to spread it around a few hundred thousand times anyway--you never know, maybe Trump really DID say that, and not one of us--or them--has absolute proof that he didn't!).

1. He did, however, refer to him as "my Turtle American".

Adding that he loves the Turtle American community and that they love him.

3. Good one!

2. it would not surprise me in the least if the persimmon pussygrabber had said it.

4. I wasn't fooled. Too much variety in the adjectives.

Too many polysyllables

[DFW]

6. I know what you mean. I apologize

It has been a REALLY long time since I was in second grade.

"Home, home on the range
Where the beer and the canteloupe lay,
Where seldom is heard
A three-syllable word,
Or if so, then it's one I can say"

5. But even if he did say it...

it's not his fault if people took it the wrong way because he really meant something else entirely.

Or something.

Poor Donnie. So misunderstood.

8. "DFW is a very lousy DUer, and by the why, what does DFW even mean? SAD!"

[DFW]

9. As they say in IJsselstein

Geen flauw idee!

[Jeroen]

16. As they say in Den Haag

ja, dat zal wel!

[malaise]

18. I don't buy the Why

SADDER!

[ffr]

10. For a second there I had hope. n/t

[DFW]

11. It's a testimony to Trump's loose cannon that some might not find it out of the question

Or, for that matter, something to be categorically ruled out for the future!

Case in point: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028342470

This is how they "inform" themselves, and how they try to disinform the rest of us as well!

12. It would be better if it were in reverse...

Something that McConnell said in private (supposedly) about Trump. Trump is far more likely to believe it and act on it. I think it would also be unfortunate if an email or two popped up showing a candid moment from Kellyanne Conway where she expressed her frustration with Trump's limited intelligence.

15. Hey, this is Republicanews

You can mix it up and regurgitate it in any order you want. It is no more factual than any of the other crap Republicans get all steamed up about, so you can chew it and spit out in any form you want. They don't care if they get it wrong. Hell, half the time, they're doing it deliberately in the first place.

13. Well, taking a page from the Brietbart-Drudge playbook

I'm going to believe it until he conclusively PROVES it didn't happen.

[DFW]

14. There you go!

That ain't workin'
That's the way you do it........

17. He could have said it in the future

and then returned to the present through a device in his basement.....

[tandem5]

19. I like it. Could have a website, call it FutureNews -- "It's not fake. It just hasn't happened yet!"

[panader0]

20. Also a reference to a novel by the OP

"The Time Cellar"
I recommend it.

[DFW]

21. Now THERE is a post I can shamelessly recommend!

Hey, if Thom Hartmann, Stan Lee, Adrian Cronauer and Howard Dean liked my book, I can certainly welcome a plug from my DU friends, right?
