Then the Next Step is to Deny

"Chris, you have again devolved into negative, personal attacks, completely ignoring reality and the current headlines.

I've never 'made stuff up' on this blog. Only an ignorant, partisan Democrat would accuse me of doing such a thing."

Telling Kent that he's making stuff up because he can't back up his claim that polls show Obama with widespread disapproval and that Democrats and liberals are jumping ship, results in Kent calling me ignorant. He also goes on to call me a coward. This from the guy who twice voted for Bush and thinks the economy was in great shape until Jan. 20th.

I could really care less what Kent and other right wing wackos call me. I actually find comfort in being called ignorant by someone who thinks George Bush was popular. The point, however, is not that Kent just makes stuff up. He really doesn't know that he's doing it. Like so many on the right that merely repeat whatever it is they hear while listening to Rush Limbaugh or watching Fox News, Kent's reality is whatever Fox News paints it to be. If I believed everything Fat Limbaugh said, I too would be thinking that a Tea Baggers protest of 4,000 people equaled "widespread disapproval" like Kent does.

Reality doesn't work that way. Poll after poll completely refute Kent's made up notion that Democrats and liberals have jumped ship on Obama. But arguing such reality with right wingers is pointless. Theirs is a world where 22% is the greatest approval ever and actual mass demonstrations such as Bush received never occurred. It truly is a made up Fantasy World. Any one who doesn't go along with it is ignorant and a coward. Just ask Kent, he'll tell ya.

*Update:

Just a nice little graph to show that Kent is really making stuff up. This is what "tanking" poll numbers look like to Republicans.
