ALL THAT IS NECESSARY FOR THE TRIUMPH OF EVIL IS THAT GOOD MEN DO NOTHING.

Right Wing Lie Machine

It looks like Dick Cheney, not used to this whole "video" thing, cannot keep his pack of lies shuffled properly. So much so he tried to get his daughter, Liz [not the gay one], to help out, to no avail.

As this video from Daily Kos demonstrates, the Cheney Family pasttime is looseness with the truth.

Moving on, it appears that Sean Hannity's soul must have some severe scar tissue on it, as this series of video excerpts lays bare Sean Hannity's utter moral bankruptcy.

That there is anyone I know or related to actually still listens to this man as a source of news or germane opinion shames me.

Part of the reason I get upset over Left/Right politics is that there is so much mendacity on the Right. Sure, there are plenty of liars on the Left. In fact, Speaker Nancy Pelosi may or may not be a liar regarding this CIA flap.

But Sean Hannity is not one representative from one of 435 disctricts. He is a major voice in a party and movement. And he holds himself out to be an arbiter of good and bad, truth and lies.

And he is squarely on the "pants on fire" side of the equation.

I think it has gotten to the point that Hannity is closing in on defamation, as he is knowingly stating false allegations for the sake of purposefully hurting the credibility of a fellow citizen, who just happens to be President. Just a thought.
