that's the thing with muddying the waters damookster Send a noteboard - 13/07/2017 03:20:24 PM

When done well, the mud becomes the issue.

The Dems and their media supporters, like the NYT and the Washington Post, are masters of that tactic. look at the Clinton impeachment 20 years ago. Classic quid pro quo sexual harassment and perjury were recast as a Ken Starr witch hunt and unreasonable encroachment into the privacy of the Clinton's marriage. And it worked! So why not keep going back to the well.
