Letter to BigMedia offers psychological profile of Trump

1. The Big, Repeated Lie is and has been Republican/NeoCon strategy for years."Both sides do it" is the easy out for the media and too many Democrats. But this out is extremely destructive because it's the common assumption of nearly everyone who pays attention to politics at this point. And "both sides do it" means Republicans can lie and Democrats can lie and the media must remain objective and impartial throughout while treating their lies as something that might be true, cuz Librul Media.

   And I'll agree both sides do it, and the "Fact Checkers" prove it.

   Democrats lie like this:

   Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said 3 percent of her campaign donations “come from people in the finance and investment world.” That’s correct, but the total is 6 percent when including donations to outside groups supporting her candidacy.

   But, she didn't say that, but people will put that in the lie category because of the article's goal of proving both sides do it.

   A couple more:

   Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley said that Sen. Bernie Sanders voted against funding research into gun-related injuries and deaths. He did, but that was 19 years ago. Sanders now says he supports such funding.

   Clinton said that ISIS is “showing videos of Donald Trump … to recruit more radical jihadists.” There’s no evidence of that, though experts have said it’s likely.

   Clinton said that the Republican presidential candidates “don’t want to raise the minimum wage.” But Rick Santorum has supported an increase.

   Sheesh. Devastating. I'm so glad there are fact checkers. And we can all agree there are no major media types on the left who will repeat these dastardly lies day after day, hour after hour.

   So, yes, Democrats lie. And so do Republicans, who say "Obama is ruining the country", "Obama hates America", "the left is determined to destroy America", "Bernie Sanders is a communist" (a favorite from Trump), and many, many more that are far more vicious and subversive, spoken on air within the talk radio fever swamp, on thousands of channels per day by hundreds of voices with heightened rage to millions of people whose news and views come only from that fever swamp where everyone agrees that the big lie is actually true.

2. All true and well said, Zap..It is still beyond my understanding how so many people can be so consumed with hate they will, quite willingly, hold out their hand so they can be led blindly into a world of lies and retribution…

   Christians mostly, I'm guessing……

   1. Did you see the article denverco posted? Fox News has been nurturing this scumbag Simmons for years, presenting him as an ex-CIA agent and "terrorism expert". This is where their "19 Islamic camps inside the US" rumor originated. Ken Buck used it as his source for Iranians attacking Julesburg, Colorado.

      Trump used Simmons' claims to justify watching mosques and profiling Muslims.

      Simmons was not any kind of expert.

      He didn't work for the CIA.

      He was just arrested and will be tried for fraud on the "stolen valor" clause.

      Not shockingly, he also was a violent criminal who had access to guns despite prior felony convictions.

      So some of this "Big Lie" repetition by the right wing could be avoided by their just performing due diligence as journalists – if anyone had bothered to check Simmons "credentials", he wouldn't have been allowed to make fools of every Fox News pundit including O'Reilly, Hannity,  Cavuto, and many others.

      Here's your dose of irony for the day: Simmons, quoted on Fox News:

      “This has exposed the raw nerve, if you will, of a flaw in the background check, and without a background check, without knowing who we’re hiring, and who we are employing to protect our nation, we are in big, big trouble.”

      Previously convicted for a crime of violence and firearms offenses, Simmons was able to acquire a security clearance because of the incompetence behind Fox News and the federal government.

      Responsible for spreading disinformation and his Islamophobic agenda for over a dozen years, Simmons was finally arrested on Thursday and charged with committing major fraud, wire fraud, and making false statements to the government.
