How DO They Get Away With It?
How does the right-wing get away with their lies without having to prove it? Just saying so makes it so.

The Swift Boat veterans ad - pure lies and people are swallowing it.

New RW talking points on right-wing hate radio and TV and message boards:

"Michael Moore's Farenheit 9/11 has been disproved as pure lies."

"Joe Wilson's story is all lies. He has been completely discredited.
His entire story of Bush's 16-words has been discredited."

"Sandy Berger is a liar and a thief and works for Kerry."


It just fricking goes on and on and on and the stupid sheeple of this country are eating it up with a spoon. Had a talk last night with a Bush supporter and I CANNOT believe how they believe this will all of their hearts. Let's not even mention the lying e-mails that are scurrying around the internet and, again, people believe all of this crap.

I am just so very upset. I knew they would bring out the attack dogs but I'm just so surprised at how people are lapping up their vomit.

Sorry, I'm just really really pissed this morning.

2. If you say it enough times it must be true!
Thats how we got into Iraq. After the fact they just lied more to forget about the original lies. The repukes have perfected this to an art.

3. As Paul Simon sings...
... "A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest."

4. Don't apologize for being pissed
I'm pissed as well and need to channel that anger. I've done editorials, made calls, emails, but there has to be something more that I can do.

5. Find 1 or 2 more people to do what you do
If everybody on our side could recruit 1 or 2 Letter to the Editor writers,(LTTE), emailers & callers, we'd get our voices heard.
