The people who float these stories know that once “out there,” they take on a life of their own. Yes, they know the psychology of rumor and urban folklore.
LBJ used to tell a joke about deliberately having an aide float a terrible rumor about about a rival candidate. He was engaging in bestiality and incest – stuff like that.
After he told the aide that it was fabricated, the aide complained about “saying those awful things about those nice people”.
LBJ then said, “I know, but I just wanted to hear him deny it”.

They just want to hear Reid deny it, but Reid doesn’t give a shit.

Why not go all the way and blame the antiChrist? Everybody knows that the mob is a bunch of buffoons, whereas Reid is well known to operate on a scale of highly distilled evil.

Let’s just clear this up now… It was me. Me and my gang. The Angry Ducks… we have a Club and our own drink… “The Angry Duck”… as Harry knows… don’t fuck with a Duck.
Take that fact and run with it, Rush. They’ll find you in bed with a Horse head… covered in soft white feathers

" I’ve never seen anybody have an accident with an exercise machine that
ends up suffering symptoms much like Harry Reid’s for as long as Harry
Reid has."

Yeah, Limpblob, but then you’ve never actually seen an exercise machine, have you?

Or as Faiz Shakir tweeted:

Everything you need to know about conservative “journalism”: dogged in pursuit of idiocy.

This story even beats Malkin’s scoop on Graem Frost’s kitchen counters for sheer bananas quotient, with the added benefit that it’s not victimizing a child. We’ll be living off this one for years.

“I’ve never seen anybody have an accident with an exercise machine”

Really, Rush? Fine, here’s literally a 100,000 videos of people having accidents on treadmills: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=treadmill+fail
