Guys, it's happened in Colorado too. In 2008, Republicans slipped a fake memo that referred to "educating the idiots" into a number of documents that were authentic leaks from Democratic 527s. When the facts aren't enough, they are NOT above embellishing them.
Like Dudley Brown and Matt Arnold's resumes, and Scott McInnis's Musings on Water.
LOOK! Squirell!
-Just helping out brother Guppy.
Pretty clear GOP doesn't care about credibility. They seem to have made the decision that they have no chance at the demos they need long term without losing out with the monster wacko fringe they've nurtured in the short term. That leaves them with nothing but a strategy that combines gerrymandering, complete obstructionism, energizing their wacko base as much as possible while doing everything they can to suppress the vote among the demos they know they can't get.
In that context, easily exposed lies aren't all that risky. Where Benghazi is concerned, in particular, the general public isn't paying much attention but in their Fox/Limbaugh centric universe they can generate a lot of outrage and energy with this stuff among people who have no use for facts that interfere with their conspiracy theories anyway. Among those who do care about facts they lost any claim to credibility so long ago, that's water under the bridge. Pointless to worry about it at this late date.
All of this makes blatant, easily exposed deception worth a shot from the GOP point of view.
Rep Darrell Issa will probably launch an investigation into who in the Obama Administration foisted the faked memos onto unsuspecting Republican plumbers that then leaked them to the press.
Hmm. I have a feeling that ArapaGOrP and his fellow sheep won't have any trouble with this. While it was a bad, terrible, awful thing that there was a faked fitness report on George W. Bush's service – so bad that it proved, proved I tells ya, that the liberal media bias is biased liberally – this faked email will just end up being the result of an overzealous underling, and that everything is STILL bad with Benghazi.
When A-GOrP finally chimes in, he will ignore all our observations and comments and go full tilt boogie with the spin. Can't wait!
Guppy will be here to do his job as soon as they tell him what to say. My bet is that it'll be something akin to, "What's wrong with a little creative interpretation, when you're trying to get to the bottom of a scandal that took four innocent American Lives?" or some BS like that.
Sad but probably right. I wonder where the little bugger is? I want to ask him about the Mag Ban.
Goop? Odd the way he pops in and out. His bullshit was needed by his employers this week.
Just wondering…did Judith Miller write any of the embellishments?
