There's a very specific art that the GOP employs during their "lie fests". It's important that we study and be well versed in their ways in order to defeat them.
In politics, every party at some juncture can look at the other and say that they have witnessed an attack ad or allegation that simply wasn't true. But for some reason, the GOP has adopted the position of lying as a matter of course in almost every facet of their operation and existence.
We're not talking about a high rate of "inaccuracies" or "spins on the truth" here either. We're talking about completely fabricated lies that are made up out of the thin air and paraded around as central themes of the GOP party. Lies that they overtly champion and ask their constituents and the American public to believe. Knowing all along, that they are lying but not caring because all they want to do is win. Much the way the wealthy "win" off of the backs of the poor and the middle class. And disregard who they hurt in the process.
The common denominator in the vast majority of their lie campaigns is that it tends to be things that can't ever quite be officially proven otherwise. He's a Muslim, He's a this, He believes in that and the list goes on and on. So that no matter what happens, the weak minded can continue to say what they believe, The President believes. Based on "how they feel". Now there is one exception of course. The birth certificate embarrassment. That lie, was not only meant to place fear and doubt of "an African taking over our nation" but it was also a demand in wanting to exercise a longstanding "show your papers and answer to me" mentality that a lot of the GOP types subscribe to. That they could "force him" to "re-show" something that any reasonable person knows has already been shown to the powers that be. Who I can assure you didn't say "oh, potentially first Black President? yeah, let's look over this guys paperwork LESS than everyone else who's ever applied and overlook something as significant as his birth certificate".
Just like the "show me your papers" during slavery. And the desire to do it with the Mexican population in Arizona, that is an ugly part of an American mentality held by the GOP types who have carried on the same kind of Ted Nugent GOP hate of recent. The kind of hate that would cause a man to say that they wish the South would have won the civil war even up to today. That birth certificate demand was more about " we're going to make that top Ni#@er answer to us because top or not, he's still a Ni%#er to us anyway and is going to do what we tell him" syndrome. It's a well documented ugly phenomenon. Brought to life once again by our friends in the GOP.
At this juncture and especially after President Obama dispatches of Romney at the debates, becoming a serial liar is their last line of defense. But because they have been so weak from the very beginning, they've relied on lying as a matter of course from the very beginning as well.
Because after all, what are they going to do? Run on his record that they try so desperately to distance themselves from a la Romneycare?
The GOP lies like it's the truth and fabricates things out of thin blue air in 3 very distinct areas.
1. When they're mad at loosing. Like keeping up the Birther nonsense after Obama won.
2. When they're fearful of losing or about to actually lose. Birther, Muslim, "he's going to be better friends with foreign Muslim leaders than us" rants
3. And when they want to break or change a law and want to use fear in place of actual facts as to why. "Voter fraud" but had no examples of it when asked in open court.
So now the GOP has the dubious distinction of not only being merchants of hate, but can now claim the title of being the greatest party of liars and complete fabricators America has ever known too.
