When one begins to realize that the lies are become a little too obvious, that the policies you advocate are obviously doing more harm than good, or if that nagging feeling of guilt is eating away at your conscience (Or maybe a little of all three), how does an individual of our era react? Does he take a step back and reconsider his positions and actions?
Our modern era guy resorts to projecting his faults onto the opposition.We have a bit of a medley on this subject for this post.

"California Democratic chief John Burton made the remarks [About Republicans] Monday in an interview with San Francisco station KCBS while in Charlotte, N.C., for the Democratic National Convention.
"They lie and they don't care if people think they lie ... Joseph Goebbels -- the big lie, you keep repeating it," Burton said. "That was Goebbels, the big lie.' "

"Obama’s deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said Sunday that Republicans think “lying is a virtue” while discussing the recent GOP convention.
“It was a week of personal attacks, empty platitudes, [where] the one thing that you were left with is they really think that lying is a virtue…I think the American people disagree with that,” sheremarked on CBS’ “Face the Nation.' "

The above is a video clip. Before Mia Love is interviewed, a Senior Advisor fro the White House is featured in a sub-clip in which he states that the Republican campaign is "built on a tripod of lies". He goes on to deny that Obama destroyed a key portion of welfare reform when he removed the work requirement, that Medicare was not cut to pay for Obamacare, and that Americans who were angered by "You didn't build that" were engaging in "nonsense" In closing, after lying three full times, mind you, he again asserts that the Romney campaign was "built on a foundation of lies".
These guys must be convinced that Americans are far and away the most stupid and gullible people on the face of the earth.
The style reminds me of the one of Lenin's strategies - tell lies, tell them often, and make sure that your opponents are always being portrayed in the worst light possible:

“A lie told often enough becomes truth” (Note that Lenin gets the credit and that Goebbels, who was hazardously quoted above, is second in that race)

"We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses
hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us."
-- Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
[Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov] (1870 - 1924), First Leader of the Soviet Union

I have seen half-truths, embellishments, and false statements made about political opponents made by people from all groups through the years. This time, things are different. The Liberals/Leftists/Socialists are lying at a frantic pace while spending the same amount of time accusing their opponents of doing the same, often when the former has done nothing but speak or write truthfully. It is as if they value their lies so much that they will stop at nothing to protect them.
