On my radio show earlier this wk, I asked Trump supporters if they were ok with Trump lying so much. I told them that I wasn't.

The consensus? The vast majority of callers said they're ok with all Trump's lying because he's "their guy."

Their response left me pretty damn sad.

Joe, there's nothing new about RW lies. You on the right have kept your base riled up with RW lies, especially on Fox News and talk radio, for decades now.

You on the right conditioned your supporters to accept lying.

The only thing new is that Trump is much more blatant about the lying.

1. Conservatism Is Built On Lies

It's a front to help billionaires get richer.

Perid.

17. Yeah, right wing ideology doesn't exist without lies.

Joe Walsh can have a sad if he wants, but it's obvious he and other right wingers have never been opposed to lies.

2. Just walk away, Joe.

Just turn your pretty head and walk away.

3. Mr "YOU LIE".... has a sad about his traitorous party.

It would be funny if it were not so twisted.

5. You win the thread

Twisted is right.

8. It was Joe Wilson that yelled you lie. Peas of a pod though. nt

13. I thought he was the Obama Lie Guy too.

Thinking back, wasn't this Joe Walsh a deadbeat dad who didn't pay his child support? Personal Responsibility and all that.

15. Yep ex-Congressman from Ill. nt

20. Tammy Duckworth was the one who finally blew him out of his seat

which helped to give her experience and eventually propel her from the House to the Senate in IL.

He was just horrid with the vitriol towards her when she first challenged the seat (and then won it).

9. I believe that was a SC dickhead. This guy is an IL dickhead. nt

10. Not the same guy. Joe Wilson said that to Pres. Obama.

[Zoonart]

12. Thanks, guys... I clearly have a bad case of

dick-head fatigue. They are all beginning to run together...on giant tumor.

4. What do you expect from a cult, Joe?

I think if Trump issued an edict demanding his followers drink the same concoction they drank at Jonestown, we sane people would be digging a lot of graves the next day. If he told them to bring burnt offerings to a statue of him, they'd slaughter every animal they could get their hands on. They are rabid cultists. They forgive him for every rotten act in his miserable life. They blindly cheer on whatever he says or does.They will support Dear Leader at all costs, no matter what, do or die.

7. Well Joe, you voted for this!

You knew what you were doing when you pushed that button. Are you really that surprised?

[Kittycow]

11. I read through some of the Twitter conversations on his

feed? I don't know what the term for it is.

Anyway, I did find some of it interesting with liberals chiming in on different points. Name-calling seemed to be limited.

I don't know enough about history and economics to vouch for the veracity though.

[Mc Mike]

14. You're right. Screw that teabag Walsh. rec,nt.

[gratuitous]

16. You should feel sad, Joe

I hope you don't insult our intelligence by claiming to be surprised, though.

18. Cult 45

19. I've been saying

that Republicans never think through the consequences of their actions.

I mean, when you help push the rocks over the cliff, you don't get to complain that the resulting avalanche blocks you from driving to the beach.
