It's Obama and the lying Democrats that are behind the horror stories. The stories are true and the Dems are lying as always.

It is what some are calling 'epistemic closure'. The Right has constructed an alternate media framework. Between Fox News, talk radio and the blog-o-sphere, they have a vast echo chamber that marches in lock-step. The amusing thing is that they style themselves as independent thinkers and those to the left of them as programmed zombies. The fact that the reality is a polar opposite doesn't faze them because their alternate universe keeps repeating their comforting lies. A problem is that their closure makes them think they are a majority. The last election is a prime example. Mittens kept throwing out red meat for the base and those not plugged into their universe got really confused. Things like Obama avoiding calling Benghazi a terrorist action for example. Or the interpretation of "you didn't build that". Or, well, much of Mittens campaign.

RE: the Koch brothers are behind this campaign of trash stories.... The Koch Brothers are behind the situation in Ukraine too. And they did the Benghazi attack and 9/11 too. They caused AIDS and fixed the upcoming Oscar Awards and American Idol too.
