The Anaomy Of A Lie

Post by Jccarlton »

You know I hear this stuff on and on, "The Koch Bros are Nazis", "The Heartland Institute wants to indoctrinate your children with Christian Fundamentalism" and so forth. Now it's Joe the plumber, who innocently posts an article on his blog:
http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/10/an ... the-world/
So here's how yet another lying meme gets started, to be spouted with attribution by the likes of our commenter so that all that is heard is the lie. I think from now on you can assume that whatever the likes of our commenter says, it not going to have any contact with reality unless he provides verification. Now he may not be the originator of the lies, but the fact that they keep being repeated makes him as culpable as the originator. I think that if you call somebody a Nazi you better provide a pic of them in a brown shirt waving a straight arm salute next to a swastika, if you say an organization has a curriculum you better have copies of the teaching materials, if you say somebody is a racist you better have a bunch of racist statements on hand and not just a link to a column written by a black man. I'm tired of the constant drone of lies. I've more than likely already seen them or heard them. Repeating them doesn't make them true.

Here's a nice simple one: liberals are socialists. A very interesting lie it is, too.

Here's another one: Obama wasn't born in the US.
We need a directorate of science, and we need it to be voted on only by scientists. You don't get to vote on reality. Get over it. Elected officials that deny the findings of the Science Directorate are subject to immediate impeachment for incompetence.

BTW, what's a "anaomy?"
