(18,634 posts)I heard on the radio that conservatives and liberals frequent completely different sources of information.
Not surprising except that information like this is only passed around on liberal sites. Most conservatives never even hear it and the lies continue to proliferate.
And the lies are what stay locked into the public mind.
Somehow liberals need to get info out into the real world where people can't miss it.
The conservatives have a multitude of public outlets while liberals can only preach to the choir.

(18,219 posts)Or several peoples' jobs. And it isn't really hard for them....most of the emails that I see are high in fear tactics and low on facts. They just have to make things up. Then send them out to their most faithful, who will continue the chain.

If the Republicans will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.

(45,274 posts)Soros only pays for well-documented stuff. Liberals are funny that way.
What misinformation about Republicans could possibly be more devastating that the truth?

(287 posts)I think of Mr. Potter (the Koch Bros.) and George Bailey (take your pick... Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, etc.) and what always gets me is how the brainwashed FOX audience will stand up and cheer when Potter gets his comeuppance, but in RL they'll cheer on the Potters of the world and denigrate the George Baileys. The epitome of brain dead stupidity.

(27,137 posts)Answer: Sociopaths make a habit of lying. They lie when there is no reason to lie. They live a lie.
And this is what sociopaths with money do. They lie on a grand scale.

(51,076 posts)They stole a ton of money for years from rightful owners here in Oklahoma and Kansas through mis reporting the amount of oil they were pumping.
They should be in jail as I type this, making little bitty rocks our of great big rocks using a sledge hammer to do it with.
