When it comes to Tom Delay, I honestly don't know if he's as stupid and crazy as he comes off or if he's just a supremely cynical panderer. The same goes for David Barton. Does he really believe his own bullshit, or is he just exploiting a lucrative niche by telling conservative Christians what they want to hear?
Poe's law . . .
These people often prey upon the failure of social intelligence and the presence of severe gullibility, easily exploiting and manipulating those who are always ready to hear what they want to hear. Desire for truths are never more prevalent than when those truths are predicated upon the incredulous.
If you are prepared to believe unlikely propositions that are unsupported by evidence, it isn't an absurd notion to consider that you will believe anything that allows you to feel comfortable in your fabricated microcosm.
In other words, everyone involved is as dumb as a fucking rock.
