Lies have travel...

I keep listening to AM Radio and this is their approach: Lie about what Kerry said, as in the untruth, "He said he'd rather have that brutal dictator Saddam in power right now!" and keep talking incessently about fake memos instead of Iraq, which were quite likely planted by Karl Rove (he supplied fake "Bush practice-debate tapes" to Gore's campaign).

I figured out why conservatives usually don't argue their positions--they are not told the truth so every time they take on a liberal, the better informed liberal says, "That's not true, blah, blah, blah." The conservative feels foolish, it happens a second time, then the conservative either converts, or becomes the ultimate narcissist in a fantasy world, or turns inward and never speaks about his opinions again.

We have to get the truth out there, but it's hard to combat every lie, there's so many...yesterday I heard a conservative quote someone who said that a lie can travel the world 7 times before the truth comes out. He said that about Michael Moore. I'd never heard that expression before, they know it, and they use it.
