Per TPM, Rep. Virginia Foxx follows Limbaugh in disregarding truth:
"His beliefs are the liberal of the liberals [sic]. There is no evidence whatsoever that this man was influenced by Sarah Palin or anybody in the Republican Party. This man is not a conservative; he's a fan of communism - that's the opposite of conservatism."
Foxx bases her lie on the fact that the shooter listed The Communist Manifesto among his favorite books. How about the fact that We The Living, which was Ayn Rand's first published novel, was also among his list of favorites?
To Republicans, it doesn't matter what the truth is: the guy read books. They only care about ideological warfare. These are the kinds of folks we are dealing with. Just as the media will accept silence from her colleagues about Limbaugh's lies, I don't expect them to question Foxx's lies either. Republicans wont say anything against Limbaugh or Foxx. Not because they are afraid of public reaction, but because they agree.
