lie down with dogs.

not to turn this blog into one in which W's peeps are called to task for lying - there is not enough room in all of cyberspace -

But the GOP goon on Hardball tonight repeated the standard GOP goon lie about the filibuster "no judges have been fillibustered in the history of the Senate." This is a lie. Abe Fortas was fillibustered when LBJ put him up for Chief Justice until the nomination died. Mathews corrected him - FINALLY - small moment - but telling - the lies from these right wing people have been relentless. It is not that they do not know the truth - it is that the truth does not matter to them.

Last week's favorite: "studies show that children in same sex couple families are more likely to be abused." No truth. That is a lie. no study shows this. did not matter to the woman who said it. attacking gay men and women is too important to allow truth to get in the way.
