Reply #6: Ronnie layed the groundwork for this

[Atman]

"there is simply NO propaganda that comes from the right-house that ISN'T a lie these days. it's mind-boggling!"

In his day, Ronald Reagan fondly recalled his days serving on a PT boat in the war. The trouble was, he only PLAYED on a fake PT boat in a movie he'd made. But the press passed it off as "charming," America passed it off as just a cute story from a kindly old man, and that was that. They learned very quickly how stupid and gullible the American people can really be, and outright lies have become part of the republican strategy because they know no one will call them on it.

It is "charming" when republicans make up stories about non-existent war records, but it is a fatal character flaw when a dem lies about how he "invented the internet"...which is in itself a lie about who told a lie.

The mind boggles is right.

I just don't see how they don't understand any of this. I just don't get it.
