Have you noticed how the radical right wing keeps rewriting recent history?

Right wing republicans keep rewriting history- examples being

*They claim Bush inherited the deficit from Clinton
*That Pres Clinton did nothing to go after Osama Bin Laden
*That GW Bush wanted to defeat terrorism, from the moment he was elected
*That 9/11 and Iraq were in fact connected
*That anyone who opposes the war in Iraq 'hates freedom'.
*That Saddam refused to allow the weapons inspectors inside Iraq
*That the US never supported Saddam Hussein
*That we found WMD in Iraq
*That Saddam was involved with attacks on 9/11




All of these points have been discredited, yet many right wingers cling to them as truth, particularly the lie that WMD were found. Point out that they're wrong, and the conservatives will question your patriotism. Do the Republicans who buy this disinformation know it's BS, or are they just hopelessly ignorant fools?
