The RW still relies on "wedge" issues to stir up it's base, but now |
|
they have discovered that the wedge does not need to contain even the smallest grain of truth.
They are gleefully besides themselves these days, since they discovered you can just make stuff up completely from scratch, the media will give it legs, and their base will believe it.

1. Give the GOP and their media enough rope and they will |
|
hang themselves like what happened in 2006 & 2008. They have effectively run off any potential Raygun-type figure that might save their day due to their nonsensical vitriol and lunatic fringe litmus tests.

to me, that was when these types of lies, began to really flourish with corporate gain media support.

9. Not to start something, |
