In reply to the discussion: Great ad from the Candidate running against Nunes [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)This is fundamentally a presentation of facts, and truth versus their intense use of lies is a complete difference. You may dislike it's strong, agrressive style, but that doesn't turn it into lies.
In contrast, Republicans cannot discuss any issue without lying because their goals are so far from the wishes of most of their own people. They lie constantly about themselves and also about us because only by fooling people into believing we're satan can they get away with what they're doing.
True, the question about whether Nunes has been compromised by Russia is not a statement of truth, and is over the line. But even that falls far short of the slimy techniques normally employed by Republicans. At least in this case many objective professional observers have been wondering and talking about just that for over a year. Because this isn't a phony scandal manufactured by professional swiftboaters out of nothing. It's the real thing, even if some huge questions, like why?, aren't answered yet.
