Say Goodbye To Truth, Justice, And The American Way.

Below you will find a video clip from last night's  Rachel Maddow's show that debunks the "Obama's trip to India will cost 200 million dollars a day" story and then goes on to discuss the disturbing trend of what Maddow calls the "alternate, self contained, right-wing media universe" willingness to repeat and disseminate what they know are lies. Maddow goes on to explain why this crazy stuff is so dangerous:

..."this is not just gullible people believing untrue things. There is a closed circuit super-funded conservative machine that not only funds this stuff but they reinforce it and fend off any ability to debunk this stuff. Things that would have been disprovable myths in times past, become conservative truths. They can't be dis-proven if you live in their closed circuit world. The other thing that's true is what happened Tuesday night. Politicians, a part of this media culture, the undebunkable faith-based fact horde is going to Washington and, as they get there, that becomes itself another means of validating these political convenient made-up things. They put the prestige of the U.S. government behind all this made-up stuff. Their new positions of power help to validate all of these otherwise totally disprovable things."

This segment is almost 20 minutes long but it is worth watching just to see some poor deluded man "prove" that Rachel Maddow is a lesbian vampire.

Although there is some humor in this craziness, it also shows just how despicable some people, politicians, and political parties really are at this point.
