"One thing that is wonderfully predictable about the Democrats and their handmaidens, the media, is when they scream the loudest about some supposed Republican shenanigans it is they themselves who are up to their eyeballs in it."
Bingo. Whenever I hear the left making some ridiculous accusation that would never have occurred to a normal person, I figure it's because it WOULD occur to them. In fact, it's probably something they already did.
I think psychologists call this projection.
Either projection or transference. I call it projection and it sure is a reliable indicator into their activities. I suppose their strategy is like the magician using misdirection. If they, with the eager help from the media, can get everyone concentrating on the trumped up charges against Republicans, they figure any investigation of them can be forestalled or called sour grapes, proving that the Republicans are guilty.
