"a lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes" -- Mark Twain

Republican standard operating procedure. If there's any hint of a madman's connection to a Democrat, go in for the kill. Quick and often. Use RW media appartus to amplify, amplify, amplify until it has become "fact" in their world.

Reall disgusting.
