Although I've noticed that in a couple of instances -- most notably involving Tony Perkins, one of the most constant liars in a stable of liars -- when they were called on it (not mind you, by the hosts but by other guests on the show), they stopped appearing on those venues. Perkins, after those instances, limited his "public appearances" to Fox and "Christian" radio and television shows.<br /><br />And that constitutes a third prong: they have their own propaganda machine that keeps feeding the lies into the public domain, and that audience is convinced that thinking for yourself is the Original Sin.Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13760530671721879107noreply@blogger.com
