The technique was perfected by Lee Atwater and is still in use today. The Republicans issue lies and half truths that are repeated over and over by the Limbaughs and Fox News personalities. Eventually the lazy sods in the "liberal" mainstream media pick up the lies and repeat them themselves, rarely bothering to check original sources and facts.

The duty of every American who hopes to keep their freedom is to short-circuit this circle of lies by doing simple research and fact checking themselves, so that the truth is always available to counter the lies when we hear and read them. Don't accept "run n gun's" nonsense posted here. Don't let your dittohead friends idly repeat what they've heard on the radio and on Fox News. Find the facts and challenge them.
