The smear campaign continues to be successful even in people who consciously know it was all lies.

The human psyche is pretty "amazing".

Some people are assholes. Some people are smeared with crimes worse then “being an asshole”. Julian Assange can belong to the intersection of the two.

Not everything bad ever said about Assange is a lie.
