There are two ways to smear someone.
1. You make up a plausible story, e.g.. he’s having an affair, he embezzles money.
2. You make up something shocking, insane and unbelievable, e.g. he has a thing for gerbils.
The gerbil story is ‘sticky’. It’s not plausible, but that doesn’t matter. The shocking and disgusting nature of it is such that it was forever associated with Richard Gere. It’s something people repeat and then laugh about.
Fast forward to now and just as Israel was about to release a report on atrocities and rapes by Hamas, some pro-Hamas groups coordinated with the New York Times to preempt it with a bizarre column accusing Israel of getting dogs to rape imprisoned terrorists.
