The lowest brackets got zippo.
If you believe something is true, then it's not a lie.

8) I mean, to flat out lie that blatantly.... I mean spin and 1/2 truth distortion was the norm....

I mean spin and 1/2 truth distortion was the norm.... IMHO, this is how the neocons rationalize their own brand of reality. To lie you have to start with facts and distort them. So if you simply disregard the facts and pretend the facts don't exist, you're not really lying if you make *feces* up contrary to the facts. Or they're just a bunch of *goshdarn* stupid retards.

I mean spin and 1/2 truth distortion was the norm.... Nope, we're way past that. They've (Particularly Hannity and Beck) given up any pretense of being factual. I'm surprised that you're surprised. |
