We're missing the point, really, although Jon Kyl alluded to it when he admitted that his 90% statement about Planned Parenthood 'wasn't intended to be factual'. That's the point,none of it is intended to be factual, it's just intended to be put out there, to cloud the water. That's just the way they roll. If somebody buys it, fine, if you're called on it, well, at least it's out there. Kyl, Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, they're all expendable, but they're all valuable to the GOP so long as they're willing to spout the bullshit. It creates a meme that becomes a part of our collective consciousness, bullshit or not. It's irresponsible, devious politics by inuendo, courtesy of Lee Atwater and George H. W. Bush.

Birthers, teabaggers, climate change deniers, Glenn Beck believers, 'don't-tax-the-job-creators'.... it's all just BS memes that stick in our collective psyches. Obama a socialist? Obama a Muslim? Obama a non-American? Obama anti-jobs? Obama a bad student? It's all the ridiculous, completely unsupportable absurdities that pass as fact in the FAUX world. But fact or not, the important thing is that it's out there. The old adage 'You get the government you deserve' can be a very scary proposition when you consider how hard most of us work at it, and the help we get from the 'fair and balanced' press.
