Some crazy old right-winger summed it up thusly:

?I've never been able to understand why a Republican
contributor is a 'fat cat' and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of
money is a 'public-spirited philanthropist'.?

- Ronald Reagan
It is the job of these people to smear the other side in any way they can regardless of the actual facts.

Here is the technique that they use as described by their kindred spirit:

Quote:
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

- Joseph Goebbels
