Goebbels vs. Rove

Who is the master of The Big Lie? Stalin and Goebbels are probably still the champs, but Rove and the Republican "noise machine" are competing vigorously. Josh Marshall has some of the current details. An excerpt:
I think it's only late in the evening, when the email traffic slows and the other distractions fade, that I can really see and marvel at the collosus that is, as Brock calls it, the Republican noise machine, with its ferocity that is only surpassed by its nihilism.

Now we can see in full view what we've seen again and again in recent years, the favored tactic: terror by grand moral inversion, the lie so total and audacious that it almost knocks opponents off their feet.
