You know, I have in fact heard this sort of thing all my life and I used to believe it too. But now I hear stories of Liberals who perform satanic rituals while they drink the blood of children or torture them in basements of pizza parlors that don't actually have basements, and I'm thinking some of those old stories might not be 100% on the level. Certainly there was some scalping going on back then, but the elaborate torture stories sure sound like something one ethnic group might say while de-humanizing another. I've also heard that a lot of the medieval torture devices are actually just Victorian inventions made up for gawks which sounds plausible; you don't really need elaborate works of ironmongery to torture people when the time-honored methods of beating the shit out of them with fists or clubs or various forms of water torture seem quite effective.
