Scott Malensek: Still a lying moron

Scott Malensek actually seems to believe that he can continue to post his idiotic lies and not get called on them.

In a snarky, fantasy-filled commentary on the speech given by President Obama last night, Malensek quotes the following passage:

Because when credit is available again, that young family can finally buy a new home. And then some company will hire workers to build it. And then those workers will have money to spend, and if they can get a loan too, maybe they’ll finally buy that car, or open their own business. Investors will return to the market, and American families will see their retirement secured once more. Slowly, but surely, confidence will return, and our economy will recover.

And then, cretin that he is, tries to palm off this whopper on his readers:

[I believe this is called TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS.]

Wrong, asshat.

“Trickle-down economics” and “trickle-down theory” are terms of political rhetoric that refer to the policy of providing tax cuts or other benefits to businesses and rich individuals, in the belief that this will indirectly benefit the broad population… A major feature of these policies was the reduction of tax rates on capital gains, corporate income, and higher individual incomes, along with the reduction or elimination of various excise taxes.

“Trickle-down economics” is nothing more than a fancy name for the wingnut fixation on tax cuts as the cure for all economic ills. Scott Malensek’s bare-faced attempt to conflate the recovery plan with the hoary old policies of the past is intellectual dishonesty of the most egregious sort — but it is just what we’ve come to expect from this lying imbecile.

Please go right on spreading lies, Scottie. It seem that that is the only talent you have.
