The scientists said they were disowning the report  on the state of Galveston Bay because of political interference and  censorship from Perry appointees at the state&#8217;s environmental

target=\"_blank\">LiberateWallStreet<\/a>, started sending out emails to their members recruiting them to sabotage the OWS protests.\u00a0 The plan is to infiltrate the protests and then provoke violence against police in an effort to get the protests forcefully shut down and to vilify the OWS in the public&#8217;s eye.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"3\" color=\"#000000\">Sound familiar?\u00a0 It should.\u00a0 Remember <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/jeffrey-feldman\/did-limbaugh-incite-viole_b_100586.html\" target=\"_blank\">Rush Limbaugh&#8217;s Operation

target=\"_blank\">53% Movement<\/a> (the Teapublican opposition to the 99% movement) just got caught red-handed using a socially liberal writer&#8217;s picture for a faked pro-Wall Street testimonial.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"3\" color=\"#000000\">Check it out (I snatched this off of Reddit by the way):<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#000000\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/yarZ7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"3248\" \/><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#000000\">So here&#8217;s what I want to know.\u00a0 How many times can these folks get caught cheating at politics before they&#8217;re publicly ridiculed for being a party of shameless lying bastards?<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"3\" color=\"#000000\"> <\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#000000\">Really!\u00a0 This is a reoccurring phenomenon.\u00a0 Remember the ACORN &#8220;scandal&#8221;?\u00a0 Remember how they found out that the entire videotape used against ACORN was edited to make it look like they were guilty of wrongdoing?\u00a0 Remember how ACORN was cleared of all wrongdoing after the full unedited videotape was released?<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#000000\">Republicans know it all was a lie, yet they still loudly proclaim that ACORN is corrupt.\u00a0 They know their base will believe what they want to believe regardless of the cold hard facts.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#000000\">Who cares if it&#8217;s wrong?\u00a0 No one in the Republican party, that&#8217;s for sure!<br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#000000\">Remember all the birth certificate stuff and the Muslim stuff and how an army of murdering and raping Mexicans were invading Texas?\u00a0 Remember the 200 severed heads left in the New Mexico desert by drug cartels that turned out to be a total lie when journalists demanded concrete proof from Jan Brewer and her buddies?<br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"3\" color=\"#000000\"> <\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#000000\">How many times are we going to let Republicans lie before the rest of the nation finally calls them out?\u00a0 These aren&#8217;t isolated incidents.\u00a0 This is an established method of operation.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#000000\">It&#8217;s gotten to the point where I really don&#8217;t care how private Republican citizens feel about anything.\u00a0 Not when they would choose to ally themselves with the modern GOP.\u00a0 Sure, they make a big deal out of being individuals, but when it&#8217;s all said and done, they lay their loyalty at the feet of a party of thieves, liars, and cheaters.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#000000\">If they spent half as much time calling out the lies within their party as they do painting poor people up as villains, I&#8217;d at least try to take them seriously.<br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#000000\">I don&#8217;t care much for most of the Democrats that are in office either, but God dammit!\u00a0 They don&#8217;t have anywhere close to the track record that the GOP has racked up in the last couple of years.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#000000\">Lying and cheating is despicable and wrong not matter how many crocodile tears are shed and no matter how many times the Victim Card is played.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><font size=\"3\" color=\"#000000\">You&#8217;re on the wrong side of history, GOP.\u00a0 Your lies will be remembered for years to come and tales of your deceit will be taught to schoolchildren in US History classes for decades.\u00a0 I hope you&#8217;re comfortable with that.<br
