I have wondered for years why Conservatives are happy to pass on E-mails when they have no clue as to the accuracy of the information they contain.

My favorites ones always start with, "I don't know if this is true, but....."

I guess they think they are serving some higher good or something, but if anyone is reduced to spreading lies in order to push their agenda then they don't have much of an agenda to begin with.

I guess they are going for the old 'swaying of popular opinion' thing. The bad part of all of this is when they start thinking the stories they are telling are true.

That sure tripped up Romney during one of the debates. It was a sort of poetic justice that the Republican lie machine was one of the big reason Romney tripped over his own tongue.
