Johann Hari: Republicans, religion and the triumph of unreason - Johann Hari, Commentators - The Independent

Great article about how the right can make up blatant falsehoods and get away with it. My favorite quote from the article is below:

Johann Hari: Republicans, religion and the triumph of unreason - Johann Hari, Commentators - The Independent: "These increasingly frenzied claims have become so detached from reality that they often seem like black comedy. The right-wing magazine US Investors' Daily claimed that if Stephen Hawking had been British, he would have been allowed to die at birth by its 'socialist' healthcare system. Hawking responded with a polite cough that he is British, and 'I wouldn't be here without the NHS'."
