Apparently someone on right wing media has dug up the

Vince Foster suicide again. A couple Rethugs I know suddenly brought up the claim he shot himself in the back of the head three times.
So I looked it up according to police repots he shot himself once in the mouth with a .38 caliber revolver. Of course the Clinton's did it according to them. Probably Alex Jones or Russian bots are recycling that one.

ruled suicide. I didn't want to argue otherwise and when I didn't remember.
So now I am the wrong because I reminded people of what actually happened.
Maybe someone else will hear that lie and be able to knock it down. Of course
they would still believe their version anyway.

I'm sure you wouldn't want to encourage DUers to forget the past and in so doin, be unable to refute propaganda, whether old or new.

Would you?

It's interesting to know what the loon-wing conspiracy theory du jour is, especially if Trump tweets about it soon.

Forestall killing 125 men. The right wingers hated him just about as much as Hillary.

Right wingers live in their own information bubble. They recycle those debunked stories over and over again. What would be good is if they are trying to spread them on the mainstream channels, would be for people to simply tell them, "If you are going to bring that disgusting and fake right wing conspiracy here, then I am just going to have security escort you to the door." That will likely not happen either as the mainstream media is scared to death of being called "biased". I would be proud to be "biased" to facts and not stupid right wing conspiracy nonsense.
