"they have perfected the art of defining someone with superficial labels they repeat over and over until they become accepted as fact..."

Unfortunately, it is only human to think when you hear the same stuff over and over again to think "where there is smoke, there is fire". After all, they can't all be lying, now could they?

And we see how that happens right here. We see those well-honed phrases, point to links that prove they aren't true, and they still get tossed around. When challenged, they bob, weave and spin, eventually accusing you of "nuance" or using a straw man. And go right back to parroting the debunked meme.

Cheney had it right when he made the distinction between the "reality-based" and the "faith-based". The essence of faith is that you have no rational reasons for your beliefs...

- Neocons

- "War for oil"

- "It's all about ideology"

Yeah Al, I'm sure you've NEVER repeated these superficial labels or phrases over and over until they've become accepted as "fact" ...
