You make the call.
If you stopped by Michelle Malkin’s blog yesterday, you probably saw her Errata for her book ‘In Defense of Internment’.
So did a number of left wing bloggers.
Here is the jist; she included someone else’s faulty research in her book. She did not know at the time that it was faulty and as soon as the researcher retracted his claim, she did the same. Which is what yesterday’s Errata was all about.
But that is not good enough for the left. To them, now that they have found one fault in the book, the whole book is faulty.
And here we get to the question:
Dan Rather uses fake documents to try and sabotage the Bush re-election run of 2004.
Once the documents are shown to be fake, the entire left wing jumps up and says “But the story is accurate!�
The media goes out and gets two of the persons of the Bush TANG era to say that they either helped Bush get into the TANG or that the commanding officer thought Bush was a screw up jerk who couldn’t be touched by said commanding officer. The one turns out to be a Kerry contributor and fundraiser who wasn’t in the position to help Bush get into the TANG at the time he says he was and the other is a Kerry supporter who had changed her story about Bush from less than two weeks previous.
But the left once again comes out with “Fake But Accurate� diatribe.
Just last week, Newsweek publishes a story with an inflammatory tale about US interrogators at Guantanamo Bay flushing pages of the Koran down the toilet. This information is from a single “anonymous source� and cannot be verified, but yet sounds strangely similar to a myth spread by the America hating Imams in the middle east, the same ones who tell their followers that the night vision goggles used by US troops are actually x-ray goggles so that the soldiers can look at Iraqi women naked and that all Americans have syphilis.
And once again, the left wing comes out with the “You know it really did happen/Fake But Accurate� line.
Is the left wing either a group of hypocrites or they are blind?
