Make no mistake, O'Keefe paying a woman to pretend she was raped in order to discredit the Washington Post is just a tactic that Conservatives use on these boards to discredit Obamacare, Democratic economic plans, etc. They invent or inflate credentials or circumstances that are used to deliberately deceive people into accepting a false narrative. In the case of O'Keefe, it was to discredit the Washington Post. In the case of Conservatives on these boards, it's to discredit criticism of their shitty ideas.
So O'Keefe pays a woman to pretend she was raped, that way the WaPo is discredited, and Conservatives can claim a victory.
A right-wing troll on these boards pretends their health insurance premiums increased (insert obscene amount here), that way Obamacare is discredited, and Conservatives can claim a victory.
A right-wing troll on these boards pretends to be a "small business owner", that way any fiscal or taxation proposals from the left can be discredited by the troll's fake "experience", and Conservatives can claim a victory.
They do it all the time; work in unverifiable personal anecdotes to shape the debate then abscond responsibility the moment they are questioned. Like, you say you're a small business owner? Prove it. They never can and never do because they're liars. And they know it.
Lying is the only way Conservatives can stay relevant anymore. O'Keefe is future of Conservatism.
