Warning: Politics Ahead

[akirlu]

If Republicans can't remember history, it might well mean the rest of us are doomed to repeat it along with them, especially in the unlikely event that Mitt Romney wins the Presidency. Right now it does increasingly look like Republicans can't remember even their own history. Like apparently the Governor of Oklahoma can't remember the Federal government having any part in the creation and building of that state. Or if she can, she's gleefully happy to lie a deep blue streak about it. In response to the lying liars at the Republican National Convention, Charles Pierce offers a bright, shining, and wholly justified example of incandescent fury:

the Republican Party did something remarkable at its convention on Tuesday. It set out on an experiment to see exactly how much unmitigated hogwash the American political system can contain on a single evening. The Republican Party has set out at its 2012 convention in search of the Event Horizon of utter bullshit. It has sought to see precisely how many lies, evasions, elisions, and undigestible chunks of utter gobbledegook the political media can swallow before it finally gags twice and falls over dead, leaving the rest of America suckers all the same.

By all means go read the whole thing yourself.
