They make it up and if they think it long enough, the information becomes real to them.....

It's just a question of making it up, it's a question of reading things with an eye so favorable to their position that it loses touch with reality.
For example, I have a friend who repeatedly claims that it is now documented that Bush lied about WMDs. When you ask him for the documentation, he sends the same articles that any one else would read from AP, Fox, CBS, etc., and conclude, at worst, there was a failure of intelligence. However, he literally reads them as "The CIA went to Dubya and personally told him the Niger Uranium story was false but Dubya kept it in the speech."
When you try to point out that there is nothing like that IN the article he says "yes there is, right there" and then regurgitates the article again.
It's like he hallucinates text that isnt there.
