9. What we need to do is discredit the lie-tellers.

With a few of the bastards, we've been successful at this. Many, though not all people (you'll never get the mouth-breathers in the authoritarian right to see reason...) have come around and started to recognize that George W. Bush and his cronies, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, FOX News etc. have been lying to them.

That should be our tactic. Discredit the liars. That's why sites like Media Matters are so important. When a person sees that a particular source has been telling blatant falsehoods multiple times, they're going to disregard that source.
