Two of the emails I got today:

You know the honeymoon is over when the comedians start. The liberals are asking us to give Obama time. We agree . . . and think 25 to life would be appropriate.

--Jay Leno America needs Obama-care like Nancy Pelosi needs a Halloween mask.

--Jay Leno Q: Have you heard about McDonald's' new Obama Value Meal?

A: Order anything you like and the guy behind you has to pay for it.

--Conan O'Brien Q: What does Barack Obama call lunch with a convicted felon?

A: A fund raiser.

--Jay Leno Q: What's the difference between Obama's cabinet and a penitentiary?

A: One is filled with tax evaders, blackmailers, and threats to society. The other is for housing prisoners.

--David Letterman Q: If Nancy Pelosi and Obama were on a boat in the middle of the ocean and it started to sink, who would be saved?

A: America!

--Jimmy Fallon Q: What's the difference between Obama and his dog, Bo?

A: Bo has papers.

--Jimmy Kimmel Q: What was the most positive result of the "Cash for Clunkers" program?

A: It took 95% of the Obama bumper stickers off the road.

--David Letterman

All of this is false, of course. None of the comedians on this list said any such things. That hasn't stopped this email from flying around the wingnutosphere. Googling around, I caught a Free Republic thread with respondents high-five'ing each other over this, convinced that the world has turned against Obama and Democrats.

Then there's this:

Hello, you communist shitbag! I own a small company with 8 employees, 6 of them black. A friend of mine (who is in a position to know these things) says that the Obama administration is quietly planning a scheme which would classify businesses such as mine as "minority controlled" and turn them over to the minority employees. I would of course receive "compensation" but I would lose my company. Is this your idea of "social justice"? Are you trying to get me to fire my black employees so that they would again be at the mercy of government bureaucrats and government handouts? Is this your way of bringing socialsm to America? Or is this your version of reparations for slavery? I think that you and the rest of Obama's errand boys are nothing but brownshirts. If you want to steal American private property I can guarantee that you will all be impeached and tried for treason! It's starting to look like Obama's race talk was only a ruse to allow him to socialize the economy (starting with health care), and the republicans are letting him get away with it. We need to send real patriots to the next Congress,people who are not afraid to stop Obamas socialist agenda in it's tracks.

Of course, no such thing is ever going to happen, but that doesn't stop this crowd from literally making shit up, whipping themselves into a frenzy over the coming armageddon, whether it's over guns, death panels, or minority workplace uprisings.

How can we have a debate with a political movement that has zero allegiance to the truth? The likes of Breitbart rule their world, reality is ignored because it has a well-known liberal bias, and there is no lie that can't be justified in pursuit of ideological victory. They throw so much bullshit against the wall, that it is impossible for anyone else to sort out the facts and correct the record.

Whoever wrote the first draft of that first email above knew it was bullshit, but didn't care. That first "joke", for example, is an old recycled anti-Clinton joke. The "friend" who told the second emailer about the impending takeover of his company (assuming he's not full of shit about that) also knows he's full of shit. Breitbart has openly admitted that he cares nothing about the truth, just about pushing his narratives into the traditional media. Let's not even get into Fox News or Limbaugh.

Their's is a movement built on a foundation of lies, and they don't care. The end always justifies their means.
