I often find myself dumbfounded that the Republican Reich inspires such extreme belief in their sheeple, of whom Bubba Bagger is a hypothetical example. Now Bubba isn’t the brightest bulb in the pack. If he were, he might have gotten the idea that something was fishy, when the top item on his Koch Brothers list, which told him what to say, is to say nobody told him what to say. To fix ideas in Bubba’s small brain, the Reich employs wide disinformation network that keeps lies alive long after the sane have dismissed them and moved on, Here is a recent example.
…Members of the conservative media are attempting to scandalize President Obama’s Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch by suggesting she was involved in the Whitewater investigations of the 1990s. However, the Loretta Lynch that played a bit role in Whitewater — an investigation into fraudulent real estate deals that did not include any wrongdoing by the Clintons — is a different person than Obama’s attorney general nominee.
According to a November 8 Breitbart.com article by Warner Todd Huston, "few are talking about" the fact nominee Lynch "was part of Bill Clinton’s Whitewater probe defense team in 1992." Huston pointed to a March 1992 New York Times article that "reported that Lynch was one of the Clintons’ Whitewater defense attorneys as well as a ‘campaign aide.’" And in a November 9 article [Breitfart delinked] Huston’s colleague, Breitbart.com Senior Editor-at Large Joel Pollak wrote, "The connection to Whitewater ought to provide additional fodder for Republicans during Lynch’s confirmation hearings":…

Admittedly Breitfart took the article down, but not before it had been picked up by the disinformation network, where it is still being proclaimed as truth, and will be in perpetuity. Since Bubba reads, listens to and watches only what the Koch Brothers approve, Bubba is buffaloed. Everywhere he goes, the same lie is repeated, and if he should hear the truth, the Koch Brothers have thought him that, if he listens to libruls, he might catch Ebola, be beheaded by Muslims, or even worse, a black family might move in next door.
Rachel Maddow devoted an extensive segment to exposing several examples of how the Republican Reich creates and perpetuates such lies.
If you cannot watch this here, try the direct MSNBC link. While I could not find this elsewhere in its entirety, YouTube does have a part of it.
A political party that dedicates so much effort to buffaloing Bubba with whatever they make up, ought not to exist, but to make that happen we need to become as effective at disseminating the truth as they are at disseminating lies.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
It doesn't take much to buffalo the mindless. Even when told the truth, they can't see it.
What is that phrase… ' a lie will be halfway round the world before the truth has got its shoes on' – yes, and it will just keep going it seems. Thanks TC – sorry about the trouble with the C2 computer – thanks for persevering!
Well, this certainly explains why Andy is doing so much straight news reporting these days. He not only has to be creative, but he has to avoid giving the right wing anything they could turn into a scandal. Quite a tightrope to have to walk.
P.S. This petition might be appropriate here – I don't see it getting too much attention elsewhere. It's to support students who are "taking a stand on their campuses to defend teachers and American public education at large against Teach For America's toxic corporate-backed education reform."

Thanks JD. Signed
Education is too precious and important to be left to politics.
Since Bubba only watches faux news he will always be misinformed.
Thanks all. Badf air day.
Why is it that I find myself quoting Sir Walter Scott so often?
"O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!"
Bubba Bagger: "Ain't gonna let no gubmint lie to me. Fox News tells me what I need to know."
That's Bubba!
