[Dr. Eckleburg]

It is the custom of some to verbigerate and perseverate around fantastic and baseless charges. These people neither speak nor seek the truth. What they want is the reaction and control over the flow of the conversation.

And some people think 50-cent words will obscure the fact that Hitler was never ex-communicated from his Roman Catholic church, and that Pius XII was complicit in the Holocaust, and that Ratzinger, current bishop of Rome, was a member of the Hitler Youth.

But I suppose anyone who can believe the magick that men must physically eat the body of Jesus Christ in order to be saved will believe anything.

[Mad Dawg]

And some (a) have no sense of humor about 50 cent words (or about much else, least of all themselves) and (b) appear to think that repeating a falsehood makes it true. In some cases they appear to think that repeating several falsehoods, (while insisting that eye-witnesses find corroboration) makes the several falsehoods true.
