It’s a little bit unfair since Hayes has all the facts on his side and yet he’s forced to argue with a lying bozo like Rick Lazio, but that’s the way it usually plays out. And it needs to be done by every progressive spokesperson who goes on TV and speaks to reporters. Over and over and over again. It’s difficult because they are having to push against years of right wing propaganda — it sounds “funny” when you first hear it and the reporters and spokesmodels will look at them as if they are speaking in Swahili. But over time, if everyone does it, people will begin to get comfortable with the truth and be able to see through the lies.
It’s a dirty job, but Hayes does it well.
