Lady Liars of the GOP

You have to credit the GOP for equal opportunity disinformation.  The women are as accomplished at prevarication as the men. Let’s start with Gov. Jan “I’m really not a bigot when the sheet and hood are off” Brewer.

This is starting to look like a pattern. First Mark Kirk, now Jan Brewer. Governor Brewer’s effort to stir sympathy for her cause seems to have backfired on her.

Via the Arizona Guardian:

Gov. Jan Brewer said in a recent interview that her father died fighting Nazis in Germany. In fact, the death of Wilford Drinkwine came 10 years after World War II had ended.

During the war, Drinkwine worked as a civilian supervisor for a naval munitions depot in Hawthorne, Nev. He died of lung disease in 1955 in California.

Brewer made the comment to The Arizona Republic while talking about the criticism she has taken since signing SB 1070, the new immigration law that makes it a state crime to be in the country illegally.

"Knowing that my father died fighting the Nazi regime in Germany, that I lost him when I was 11 because of that… and then to have them call me Hitler’s daughter. It hurts. It’s ugliness beyond anything I’ve ever experienced," Brewer said in the story, published Tuesday.

How exactly does one stretch work for a munitions depot stateside into "fighting the Nazis"? Evidently by making the claim that the lung disease that killed her father was caused by toxic fumes at the munitions factory… [emphasis original]

I suppose no lie us unjustified when a Republican is trying to disguise racism.

Now lets move to Sarah “Tweeting Twit” Palin, aka Drill Baby Dingbat.

Last night, former half-term Alaska governor Sarah Palin believed she’d found a way to both absolve her oil-happy politics and blame environmentalists for the spill at the same time, and took to Twitter to rub it in.

"Extreme Greenies:see now why we push"drill,baby,drill"of known reserves&promising finds in safe onshore places like ANWR? Now do you get it?" [sic]

Of course, offshore was the focus of her campaign.  Republicans love to rewrite history.  Keith Olbermann made this the subject of his Tea Time segment.

Don’t be too sure, Keith.  Twenty years from not, Texas schools will be teaching that Obama caused the GOP Gulf Gusher.

In truth, I have to admit that Republicans have a perfectly valid reason for lying.  If they told the truth, not even Faux Noise sheeple would be stupid enough to vote for them.
