Doug R do you have children? IF you do, you too could be scared by a person who gets people up in arms by repeating a lie. The lie doesn't have to be pal'in around with terrorists either.

Take for example a person who tells you that your neighbor may be pal'in around with sex offenders. Month after month this person tells you of some other heinous crimes your neighbor is suspected of.
Then suddenly one day while your child is at soccer practice this person tells you your child is in your neighbor's basement and he is assulting your child. You rush over there and kill him as he answers his door but you can't find your child, until she returns from soccer practice as the police arrive for you.

This is what a person can do. They can cause you to commit murder, as it turns out, for them. You see this "informative person" had an ulterior motive to get rid of your neighbor all along. They wanted to expand their pool into his backyard but he wouldn't sell.

Being stupid regarding history and general facts is beside the point.

Unabashingly knowing how to be a stooge or how to ruthlessly make others your stooge is Palins best talent in the talent show of life.
