A horse is a horse,
of course, of course,
unless it's a very special horse.
And the name, of course, of
that special horse?
They call him Special Ted!

Sen. Kerry tried to frighten young voters during last year's campaign by claiming that President Bush had a secret plan to institute a draft.

And at the same time on Kerry's website, he rolled out plans for "mandatory government service" that was to be compensated by "free education". One version even said something about dangerous service. He took it down, but the Wayback Machine still has it. Sure sounds draftlike to me.

Sounds like he took a page out of Dan Rather's playbook. "Fake but accurate"

Excuse me Mr. Daniel Clark, but are you suggesting that the democrats don't have the right to combat the truth with their lies? Are you trying to disenfranchise them by denying them their constitutional right to lie? If you take away their right to lie, then you are taking away their chances at being elected. Remember, all's fair in love and war, and politics is war. Lying is a tool of war and the democrats have the right to lie. It's in the constitution. Or is it in the Bill of Rights? I'm sure there's an amendement there somewhere that says that if the democrats are losing an argument against the truth, then they are entitled to lie and cheat. Look it up.

Good post!

The Republicans need to speak out more and counter the false attacks with the truth.

Their belief in the unbelievable comes to them naturally. If it didn't, they wouldn't be Democrats.

Describes most of the loony lefty's I know.

Democrats think that by repeating the lie enough, it will become truth.

Right out of Hitler's playbook.

By this redefinition of truth, a hoax is just an idea that may or may not grow into a true story, depending on the success of the teller. This means that as long as a story is being told, it stands a chance of becoming the truth. Thus, Sen. Kennedy stands by his Globe editorial; Dan Rather and Mary Mapes stand by their 60 Minutes report; John Kerry stands by his hallucinations; and Hillary Clinton stands by her man.

One time, a couple years ago or so, I ran across some liberals business website. He ran some sort of computer techie company something or other. On the very bottom of his main page, he had placed his personal political opinions. It was a handfull of anti-Bush screeds, quotes, etc. He also had some sort of disclaimer in which he said if you didn't like his left wing views, then tough. Among his anti-Bush items was the internet hoax: The Lovenstein Insitutute's IQ study of Presidents.

I wrote the guy a (nice) email. Pointing out to him that the Lovenstein Institute was a hoax and provided a link to snopes.com. The liberal emailed me back saying: "THAT and anything I can find against that &%##%$^. Why anyone would want to defend that $$#^&*^ is beyond me."

The gist of his email was that he didnt care that the Lovenstein Insitutute thing was a hoax. As long as it was anti-Bush, and as long as he believed that it would help take down Bush's polling numbers, then he was going to use it for political advantage. Truth be damned.

Many months passed, I ran across his email to me again, still in my inbox, and out of curiosity went back to his website. He had removed all and any mention of politics off of his website. I assume he came to realize that putting his left wing views and internet hoaxes on the main page of his website was bad for business.

When the truth repeatedly contradicts someone's beliefs, that person basically has three options. One of these is to change his mind and accept the truth. Another is to reject the truth, and consciously become a liar. A third is to deny the objectivity of truth and perceive it as a social construct, so that those who prevail in society get to decide what the truth is.

The third method, of course, was popular with the Soviets and other communists.
