Did you not read the*first hand* account of William Rood over the

"But Kerry's critics, armed with stories I know to be untrue, have
charged that the accounts of what happened were overblown...."

But it just doesn't matter. The press is all a bunch of liberal scumbag
liars, except for the ones that praise Bush for his heroism & wisdom.

You don't understand what's going on here. It is a very simple one-sided
blitz. The "truth" is anything that repeats 'Kerry bad evil bad wicked
coward bad traitor' whether a reasonable person would believe it or not.

I expect to see the headline any day now... "Jerry Falwell Says Kerry
Eats Human Babies!" and then all the right-wing doofusses (or is it
doofii?) will start to argue whether he eats them baked, roasted, or
raw. With ketchup, of course. And any info to the contrary will be
soundly denounced.

Unfortunately, it's been shown that if you yell something, anything,
loud enouogh & long enough, a lot people tend to believe it, no matter
how ridiculous it is.

It does make you question just how effective the jury system is,
doesn't it. I suppose some folks are just going to believe what they
wish to believe regardless of the overwhelming facts to the contrary.
Reminds me of the old joke, or so I thought at the time, of the
husband who is caught red handed with "the other woman". His defense?
He tells his wife, "who are you going to believe...me or your lying
eyes?" Personally, I don't like to be lied to, by anyone. As we
say down here in Texas, don't **** on my leg and tell me it's raining.
