For the very reason that you posted about I still cannot stand to listen to Washington Journal. I can't take hearing a bunch of lying aholes very first thing in the morning. And I know that they (or most of them) aren't just confused, they're lying. I say that because for example one guy, after saying a lot of the stuff similar to the examples you posted, said, "Franklin Raines is Obama's campaign manager. What is Franklin Raines doing anywhere near Obama's campaign"? Of course the guy knew full well that not only is Raines not Obama's campaign manager but that Raines has not even advised Obama or his campaign. I just can't take the lying.
But you're right in that it's freaky to hear how far those people will go to distort reality and pass on their distortions. The Shooter242's of the world are in deep shit but that doesn't stop them from piling on yet more manure.
