You have to credit the GOP for equal opportunity disinformation.  The women are as accomplished at prevarication as the men. Let\u2019s start with Gov. Jan \u201cI\u2019m really not a bigot when the sheet and hood are off\u201d Brewer.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"JanBrewer\"<\/a> This is starting to look like a pattern. First Mark Kirk, now Jan Brewer. Governor Brewer’s effort to stir sympathy for her cause seems to have backfired on her. <\/p>\n

Via the Arizona Guardian<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Gov. Jan Brewer said in a recent interview that her father died fighting Nazis in Germany. In fact, the death of Wilford Drinkwine came 10 years after World War II had ended.<\/p>\n

During the war, Drinkwine worked as a civilian supervisor for a naval munitions depot in Hawthorne, Nev. He died of lung disease in 1955 in California.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brewer made the comment to The Arizona Republic while talking about the criticism she has taken since signing SB 1070, the new immigration law that makes it a state crime to be in the country illegally.<\/p>\n

"Knowing that my father died fighting the Nazi regime in Germany, that I lost him when I was 11 because of that… and then to have them call me Hitler’s daughter.<\/span> It hurts. It’s ugliness beyond anything I’ve ever experienced," Brewer said in the story, published Tuesday.<\/p>\n

How exactly does one stretch work for a munitions depot stateside into "fighting the Nazis"? Evidently by making the claim that the lung disease that killed her father was caused by toxic fumes at the munitions factory… [emphasis original<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I suppose no lie us unjustified when a Republican is trying to disguise racism.<\/font><\/p>\n

Now lets move to Sarah \u201cTweeting Twit\u201d Palin, aka Drill Baby Dingbat.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

Last night, former half-term Alaska governor Sarah Palin believed she’d found a way to both absolve her oil-happy politics and blame environmentalists for the spill at the same time, and took to Twitter to rub it in. <\/p>\n

"Extreme Greenies:see now why we push"drill,baby,drill"of known reserves&promising finds in safe onshore places like ANWR? Now do you get it?" [sic]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of course, offshore was the focus of her campaign.  Republicans love to rewrite history.  Keith Olbermann made this the subject of his Tea Time<\/em> segment. <\/font><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be too sure, Keith.  Twenty years from not, Texas schools will be teaching that Obama caused the GOP Gulf Gusher.<\/font><\/p>\n

In truth, I have to admit that Republicans have a perfectly valid reason for lying.  If they told the truth, not even Faux Noise<\/em> sheeple would be stupid enough to vote for them.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
