They will call themselves liars. It doesn't matter what truth they were telling before, they won't stand behind their own words.

Was listening to Randi, and she play a bit from a Hannity show.

Basically Hannity had this guy Roome on. Roome had said the following a couple of years ago:


During a telephone interview with USA TODAY in 2002, Roome described Bush's career as mercurial; the first three years were outstanding, the final two troubled. "You wonder if you know who George Bush is," Roome said.

"I think he digressed after awhile," he said. "In the first half, he was gung-ho. ... Where George failed was to fulfill his obligation as a pilot. It was an irrational time in his life."


Then he takes it all back

Contacted by e-mail last week, Roome pulled back from those comments. He wrote that he admires Bush, that the president met his obligations in the Guard and that he does not want to be seen as attacking him. "Only George W. Bush knows why he was unable to continue flying in the Guard," Roome wrote.


From: http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/nation/president/2004-02-15-bush-record_x.htm


On Hannity's show he basically called himself a liar. How do you fight something like that?

1. It's virtually impossible to fight this kind of crap until
we are able to counter the vast American media complex which might just as well change it's name to Pravda.

6. They have established themselves as the morally superior party...
(in their own minds) therefore whatever they do its okay, cause even
their "mistakes" are the well meant actions of inherently good people.

Needless to say, this is bunk.
