The Liars Dividend is a wonderful tool for being able to say what you want with no real consequences. A statement does not have to be true, just needs to be first and very public! When did you stop beating your wife? How long have you been an alcoholic? Where did you bury the body? Truth doesn't matter, only court of public opinion matters. The harder you defend yourself from the lies, the more you validate the accusation. Isn't that just yummy? For politics, the more outrageous and obscene, the more teeth it has these days. You can litigate against it, but the damage is done long before the court will order a retraction.
