We all know that Republicans simply can't win elections without disgustingly lying about almost everything that comes out of their mouths. And I've always believed that Karl Rove is a disgusting, lying, low-life, that embarrasses an entire species, but that's just me. But his latest lie about Hillary Clinton shows just low they can go, and how fearful of they are of her.
From pagesix.com here's what he said:
“Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that.”
Of course Hillary Clinton was only in the hospital for 3 days not 30, but as Republicans have demonstrated over and over again, why let facts get in the way of a good lie. And he sees glasses that are only used by people with brain injury. How stupid is that?
A spokesperson for Clinton replied:
“Please assure Dr. Rove she’s 100 percent.”
...
“Karl Rove has deceived the country for years, but there are no words for this level of lying.”
So now the right wing propaganda machine gets cranked up and starts reporting the talking point of the day, and when they've shouted loud enough, the main stream media has to report what the machine is shouting, whether it has any merit or not.
Here's some of the places this lie is spreading to;
The blaze: Karl Rove: Hillary may have brain damage
Politico: Karl Rove: Hillary Clinton might have brain injury
business insider: REPORT: Karl Rove Suggested Hillary Clinton May Have Suffered A 'Brain Injury'
The Hill... nymag.com... Washingtontimes.com...
And on and on and on.
Like wildfire this lie will spread around the internet and it will become the newest delusion for the right wing sheep to grasp on to. And it will place a doubt in the minds of the general public because it gets repeated so much.
This is what we're up against. This is how they run their campaigns. This is why we have to get out and fight harder than ever to stop them from getting control of the Senate this year.
