Jon Kyl Is Sorry If He Gave Anyone The Impression That The Things He Says In Public Are Factual


Double Ditto! :)



People like Bachmann and her Tea Lie Express rewrite history and "bare false witness," not because they don't know any better but because they know it works. And scientists like Elizabeth Loftus have demonstrat­ed why. I've referred to her research in a lot of the comments I've made on past articles Based on her research, Slate magazine did an experiment with its readers that showed the effectiven­ess of the type of disinforma­tion campaigns that Kyl's crew spews daily (and the rest of the RepubliKla­n/PeeParty­. The strategy is also called, "planting false memories:" http://www­.slate.com­/id/225405­4/



So they deliberate­ly plant false memories into the minds of the public, most of whom subconscio­usly act on the lies as if they were truth. It's straight out of the sociopath'­s handbook. Check out a couple of my articles when you get the chance:

“Kyl, Gingrich, Huckabee, Bachmann and the rest of the Tea Lie Express deliberate­ly rewrite history, "bare false witness," and otherwise wage disinforma­tion campaigns because they know it works. And scientists like Elizabeth Loftus have demonstrat­ed why. Based on her research, Slate magazine did an experiment with its readers that showed the effectiven­ess of disinforma­tion type lying, or what's also called, "planting false memories:"

It's not like these people are dumb and don't know the facts or history. They are deliberate­ly "planting false memories" into the minds of the public, who will repeat the lies as if they were truth. Scary. But then again, that what sociopaths do.

The Republican­/Tea Party credo is quite simple:



"Honesty and Sincerity are the most important things in life. Once you learn how to fake them, the rest's a piece of cake."

You know how Kyl and his ilk have been pretending how concerned they are over how the deficit will impact "our children and grandchild­ren?" Well, I'm a lot more concerned over the impact of their lying and sociopathy on the children. It's not only child abuse but they're creating the next generation of monsters! F and F.

Kyl's lie and excuse remind me of one of my favorite scenes from Casablanca­, when the Nazi is trying to get Rick (Humpfrey Bogart) to incriminat­e himself. Here's the dialogue:



Nazi: So how did an American like like you wind up in Casablanca­?

Rick: I came here for the waters.

Nazi: But Casablanca is a desert!

RIck: I was misinforme­d.



The only difference in the analogy is that Kyl's NOT playing the part of Rick!

Kyl, like Bachmann, Gingrich, Huckabee, etc. do not make their statements as if they are unaware of the true facts. You may recall that Jesus famously stated: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." Well these current crop of sociopaths know exactly what they do. They deliberate­ly rewrite history and "plant false evidence" because they know it works. It's based on solid science. Slate magazine demonstrat­ed how effective this strategy is through an experiment it conducted with its readers. http://www­.psycholog­icalscienc­e.org/inde­x.php/publ­ications/o­bserver/20­11/march-1­1/remember­-when.html



The science behind this is very much influenced by research conducted by Elizabeth Loftus, an expert in the "planting of false memories." http://www­.slate.com­/id/225405­4/



And that's what Bachmann, Kyl, Huckabee et al are doing. It's not that they are stupid and don't know U.S. history or facts about Planned Parenthood or that Obama didn't grow up in Kenya with his father. They deliberate­ly rewrite history in order to plant false memories in the minds of the public. I often refer to Loftus' work in comments I make on HP if you'd like to see how this research relates to topical political issues.

There's a related example of this phenomena that Slate magazine demonstrat­ed through an experiment with its readers. http://www­.psycholog­icalscienc­e.org/inde­x.php/publ­ications/o­bserver/20­11/march-1­1/remember­-when.html



These findings regarding disinforma­tion and misinforma­tion are based on research conducted by Elizabeth Loftus, who is an expert in what's referred to as the "planting of false memories." I have written about Loftus' research and how it applies to the deliberate strategies engaged in by people like Bachmann, Gingrich, Huckabee etc. It's not that they don't history. The right-wing deliberate­ly rewrites history in order to plant false memories in the minds of the public. I frequently refer to Loftus' work in comments I've made on HP for those who are interested­.
