Kos wrote about the lengths that conservatives will go to "<a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/08/22/1323849/-Conservatives-literally-make-stuff-up-to-smear-Michael-Brown?detail=email">smear Michael Brown</a>" So, the <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/08/report-officer-darren-wilson-badly-beaten-fractured-eye-socket-in-attack-by-mike-brown/">CT scans of Darren Wilson's head</a> presented as fact by conservatives are in reality <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/08/report-officer-darren-wilson-badly-beaten-fractured-eye-socket-in-attack-by-mike-brown/">fake.</a> Well, not fake.  They are real CT scans of an eye socket injury.  It's just not Darren Wilson's eye socket. As if that piece of Reich Wing propaganda was not enough, a Kansas City police officer, Marc Catron, posted a picture on the "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Support-Darren-Wilson/1464514543811507">Support Darren Wilson</a>" Facebook page proclaiming it to be of Michael Brown.  The photo is of an African-American guy pointing a gun with a wad of cash in his mouth.  The officer wrote this caption: <blockquote>“I’m sure Michael Brown is innocent and just misunderstood. I’m sure he’s a pillar of the Ferguson community.”</blockquote> Obviously, it was an attempt to libel Michael Brown to help the cause of fellow police officer Darren Wilson.  The guy in the photo may perhaps vaguely resemble Michael Brown in the eyes; however, it is obviously not Michael Brown.  Officer Catron likely thought that people would not notice.  Perhaps "they all look alike" to officer Catron?? The problem is, apparently "they all look alike" to a number of conservative trolls that have been spamming the photo on Facebook as the real McCoy. Here is a screen grab by one such Wilson supporter: <div class="dkimg-c"><img src="http://images.dailykos.com/images/101828/large/edited.JPG?1408830871" alt="" width="550" height="246" /></div> Officer Catron <a href="http://koin.com/2014/08/19/kc-cop-mixes-up-michael-brown-oregons-joda-cain/">has been discredited</a> by an Oregon news station.   The article makes it seem as though it was just an accident on the part of Catron. What is concerning is the fact that the KC Police Department calls this deliberate attempt to libel Brown "an internal personnel issue". rss@dailykos.com (epforrester) conservativepropaganda DarrenWilson Ferguson MichaelBrown MichaelBrownshooting Race Racism _1324115 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 22:01:41 +0000 Conservative Propaganda Starting to Churn (Again) !!!! https://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/11/23/921645/-Conservative-Propaganda-Starting-to-Churn-Again (This one was lost in a PC crash last week, I found it and thought I would belatedly go ahead and publish the work.  Since, the initial draft, I have witnessed far more garbage from Sarah Plain, more from Gingrich, Bachmann  made a complete fool of herself and FOX (Entertainment Channel). The conservative race to 2012 has started and the troops are moving into positions for the all out onslaught. Their point people are doing their jobs (early shots across the bow as part of their information campaigns).  And, one can assume that the money is flowing under the table towards 2012. rss@dailykos.com (The Pardu) Ailes conservativepropaganda Palin _921645 Tue, 23 Nov 2010 19:15:40 +0000 This is Pelosi's Victory https://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/3/24/850105/-This-is-Pelosi-s-Victory I'm all for spreading credit around for the recent health care reform bill signed into law yesterday.  Let the ultra macho <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6320924n&tag=contentMain;cbsCarousel">Rahm Emanuel</a> hijack as much of it as he likes.  Let <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/23/AR2010032303883.html?hpid=topnews">Obama claim that he did it for Teddy</a>.  Presidents invariably get the most credit for major legislative accomplishments. However, truth be told, the one person who deserved the vast bulk of the credit that health care reform of any kind was passed, and who gives us the best chance that future changes to improve those reforms will be implemented, is our nation's first female Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

My girlfriend has one, her brother. A nice enough guy in person, all the same he insists on regularly sending her thoughtless, reactionary, fact-free crap.

Your party has ZERO CREDIBILITY to speak upon issues of the economy (because YOU ruined it), or on Health Care (because YOU allowed it to grow out of control and become predatory), or on what President Obama should do now ( because YOU handed him the flaming bag of political feces created by the idiot boy king from Crawford Texas).
