The best way to make a lie believable is to believe the lie, while you are telling it
it's like method acting

the problem is, over the course of time, the liar comes to believe their own bullshit

sometimes it's not a "lie" per se... one can hear a lie, believe and continue to pass it on... plausible deniablity

hence, we're still hearing a lot of the Clinton campaign talking points in here... and will for a while I guess... at least until we have a VP selection

it is delusion

Obama was lucky to be Black... he wouldn't have won without the AA community... on and on and on and on

Clinton supporters... check it out... you're not in my bin... I know you need some time... but try to quit posing as victims...

Clinton is still behaving badly... it's that simple... Hillary Rosen was just on... and she hit the nail on the head

Your candidate, the losing candidate, is not making the effort - she's using YOUR VOTE as a bargaining chip. What's she bargaining FOR? Some big deal policy concession? NO... she's bargaining for herself, and USING YOU.

Have some coffee... ventilate... but quit posing as a victim... your candidate is drawing the focus

Ya'all are some great Democrats... you defended your candidate with flame throwers...

I LIKE THAT IN A PERSON

Obama's accomplishments, now and in November... are of huge historical significance...

brushing it off like it's unimportant is extremely rude

We're pissed off still....

fucking live with it

Method acting.

3. Someone of authority once told me that it's not a lie
it's a lie lie. Like that explained anything.

4. One of the "Costanza Axioms"
On how to beat a lie detector test: "Remember, Jerry, it's not a lie if *you* believe it."

5. Pathological liars easily pass a Polygraph.

They believe their own lies, thus give little or no reaction.


The Clinton campaign was guided by a skilled group of pathological liars, engaged in an attempt at mass deception.

6. Yup... Kicking for connection between believing your own lie...
...and plausible deniability.

That comes close to the heart of the whole shrub era, including its idiot puppet-in-chief, and all of its enablers, including Democrats.

...not that anyone will be exonerated in the face of clear and massive evidence.
