I use to play that "what the hell is a matter with those people" game. Outside of a very few, very obvious types with their.. challenges..we are dealing with human beings with very bad information.

I spent some time chasing some of that information--there are legitimate criticisms of Hillary Clinton--but those aren't even the ones brought up. The ones brought up are spun bias, paranoid, repeat-it-until-you-believe-it memes that require little thought, much less analysis. Chasing ludicrous "links" that supposedly prove some '"progressive" point and ultimately finding right wing sources is not an enjoyable pastime, but I've done it.

I've noticed what you are referring too over and over. I struggle with a name for it, but I'm tired of naming bullshit as though bullshit deserves a special name.

It's why I've trashed GD-P--although I think I will untrash it now.
