There must be a test somewhere that qualifies the skill level for liars with the top ranking being <strong>GOP spin doctor<\/strong>.  I have seen more outright lies, &#8216;fact&#8217; fabrication and delusional self importance and misrepresentation of Democratic positions now, than during the election. Everything from denying the Obama Mandate, which was manifested as a massive turnout and overwhelming popular support, and declaring the Bush &#8216;mandate&#8217; which did not even consist of winning the popular vote in 2000. Making up statistics about a Palin boost that didn&#8217;t exist, just comes naturally to such people. <\/p>\n<p>Over the past few days I&#8217;ve visited many right wing, religious sites, that I swear must be written from another planet as what they are talking about and how they perceive the election results, and Obama in general, displays a grand delusion found only in mental hospitals.. They generally spew garbage on single issues of doom and gloom without a single fact check, not a single authentic reference. When they do reference sources, they almost always link to each other, the sum of which creates a level of unreality which could best be described as a form of political science fiction.  The worst of this is a religions zeal with which could only be described as Christian Jehad against anything Obama might likely (real or imagined) believe in. <\/p>\n<p>All this angst can&#8217;t be good, and will lead to trouble, like the recent promotion of gun purchases by the NRA, someone is going to shoot off their foot, not just their mouths.<\/p>\n<p>If you want examples of some of these delusions visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.conservapedia.com\/Main_Page\"> conservapedia <\/a> where some of the best wingnuts hang out.  <\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that the Presidential Election, we can fully analyze the level of self delusional behavior of the GOP pundits.
