The Deception Tango

One, Two, Three, Kick!

I find it amazing how the right-wingnuts can claim that numbers generated by an independent agency - specifically, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) - are "cooked" whenever they don't like them, but they'll trumpet them from the rooftops when they do.

Such hypocrisy is part of a well-rehearsed slight-of-foot dance that was developed by Karl Rove. I call it the "deception tango."

R-MONEY demonstrated his terpsichorean skills a few days ago in Ohio when he said, "I saw a story today that one of the great manufacturers in this state, Jeep, now owned by the Italians is thinking of moving all production to China." (link below)

Technically, MITTH wasn't lying when he said he saw that "story." He probably did, or at least one of his handlers saw it and told him to use it. But it was pure deception tango footwork to "forget" to mention that the "story" was a completely fabricated rant found on a right-wing blog.

Even after the head of Chrysler/Jeep stated that there was no truth to his allegation, R-MONEY doubled down and repeated it in his subsequent campaign stops.

I have two questions for those who intend to vote for the GOP standard-bearer:
  1. How stupid does one have to be to swallow the bull-pucky R-MONEY is spreading?
  2. Do you hate having a Black President so much that you'd vote to put a pathological liar in the Oval Office?
