BDS and the Big little Lie

Have you ever had an acquaintance who was a pathological liar? How did you distinguish them from the run-of-the-mill fibber?

One sign, I'm sure you will agree, is when you catch them in a little lie that is so insignificant that there was no reason for them to have had to lie about it.

I detected one of those senseless little lies in the Democrat talking points in the last couple of weeks, that makes me seriously concerned about how deeply Bush Derangement Syndrome (and it's corresponding hatred of all things Republican) is entrenched in the Dem leadership.

Some context:

The Big Lies have abounded for years now in the Democrat talking points. They are legion:

- Bush stole the 2000 and 2004 elections
- Bush lied, kids died
- the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was illegal and unjustified
- Bush and Cheney mislead everyone about the presence of WMD's in Iraq
- Bush said the use of nuclear weapons by Iraq was "imminent"

All not true, but all repeated so often in the echo chamber of liberal leaders and the Mainstream Media and the left-wing bloggers that they just take them as given facts. You know the old maxim, "If you repeat a lie often enough,..."

As for the Little Lie that belies a pathology on the left: It has to do with their talking points on the train wreck that the Michigan and Florida primaries are causing in the Democratic Primary.

I first heard it a couple of weeks ago, when a Democratic Congresswoman from Florida was on Fox News Sunday. She started off her discussion by arguing that it was not the fault of the Democratic Party in Florida, that the "Republican-lead Legislature" had forced the Party to move it's primary date forward and thus lose all of it's delegates.

"Wait a minute", host Chris Wallace said. "Wasn't it a Democrat who put forward the legislation?"

"Well yes, but...."

"And did any Democrat vote No on the legislation?"

"Well no, but..." And she went on to continue to blame the Republican majority for the calamity.

Heard it again on Fox when Great Van Sustern was interviewing ex-President Bill Clinton. He repeated the same talking points, saying that the "Democratic Party was 100% innocent in this problems" and that the "Republican-lead legislature" had put them in this jam.

Okay, this is a silly and stupid lie. But, apparently one that the Dems think is important enough to keep repeating as their talking points. Listen for it on the networks this week as they continue to try to sort out a solution for Florida and Michigan.

It's the little and unnecessary lie that provides the clue as to degree of pathological their lying has become.
