I think they actually enjoy all this. They know the initial incident will be all anyone remembers and the de-bunking aftermath will be an ignored footnote. Matthew Shepard, for instance.
Oh, I agree 100%.
Liberals enjoy this type of thing immensely (the spreading of a false narrative). It is no surprise that, in the same way there is no recorded case of a Republican ever having owned a slave, there is no recorded case of a conservative who idolizes an amoral/immoral POS like Saul Alinsky.
He is an icon of the left, and it is easy to see why.
Watching the Veritas Videos, when liberals think they are with people they can trust, and you hear them brag about the crap they do, and laugh about it, and the rubes on the right who it impacts, you get a full understanding of just who those people are.
They love character assassination with lies. It is sport for them.
