Whenever the Left is about to emit the most egregious lies htey will first institute a press barage declaring that the Republicans are the most outrageous liars. Oftentimes the charges themselves are lies but the left is preaching to the choir with the cooperatioon of the liberal media and academia. If the republicans were to try to defend themselves against these calumnies the Left will say see "LIARS".It is interesting to observe the barage of lies accusing the Right of Fascism, and comparing Republicans to Adolf Hitler (a patent leftist). Noone, on the left, ever acuses Rightists of being Stalins, Maos or Pol Pots, ( apparently Joe and his ilk get a pass from the Left). and likening the US to a fascist state. What incredibly twisted logic allows Leftists to equatte National Socialism with Conservatism and Communism with enlightened Progressivism?
