All liars are assuming that those to whom they tell their lies- are stupid. Think about it: The very act of lying is an act of contempt. An act of extreme and utter self-aggrandizement (on the part of the one who lies) and utter contempt for the "lied to" - as people so stupid that they can be bamboozled by a confection of words. Words distracting from reality, not pointing to it.
This is what irritates the heck out of me: whenever the republicans try to rewrite history or simply string together a bunch of meaningless phrases, constructing a pablum for (the pitifully stupid) others to swallow wholesale.
It's their contempt for the listener that gets to me. Their utter self-satisfaction and contempt. As they spin a web of lies. A paragraph of meaningless sentences. Like a hypnotist. Putting a trance on the voter. And inserting a soothing post-hypnotic message: Do as I say.
It's insulting!
