Sen. Rand Paul Has Fiery Debate With George Stephanopoulos: “You say we’re all liars. You just simply say we’re all liars.”...“In Wisconsin, tens of thousands of absentee votes had only the name on them and no address. Historically those were thrown out, this time they weren’t."

Yes - and an important point by Stephanopoulos is that there are not two sides to facts. And R. Paul cannot bring himself to say that the election was stolen. His comments in the Senate on this matter were very good - that the Senate should not interfere with the States' elections. His right wing colleagues not only agreed with this, but were impressed with it, and with Romney's comment about telling people the truth. R. Paul wants to shift the discussion to criticisms of the states, and criticism of Stephanopoulos for merely restating the facts of the court cases. We'll see R. Paul position himself in the next 4 years to be a GOP candidate for president. To do this, he'll tow the party line, which includes sowing distrust in the MSM, sowing distrust in election processes that don't favor the GOP, and constantly lying.

“The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie--deliberate, contrived and dishonest--but the myth--persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

Indeed - and the great enemy of truth is also the 'lie', as it develops the myths, some of which Paul uses.

Straussian noble lie become public myths as facts to be perpetuated forever. In fact, the neocons are fond of the great noble lie myth.
