It's gotten so bad that I can barely read an article without having to resort to verifying their facts. They don't even make an attempt to be accurate anymore. <BR/><BR/>K, I agree that they revel in their intellectual dishonesty. As I told someone yesterday, Republicans can't dazzle us with their brilliance, so they have to resort to baffling us with bullshit. <BR/><BR/>Sadly, too many people accept what they say as the truth.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875378679299157108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18370478.post-43227250775704670622009-02-03T13:30:00.000-05:002009-02-03T13:30:00.000-05:00Those guys are shameless.

It's like they revel in their intellectual dishonesty.<BR/><BR/>Abi, Malkin has been riding that hobby horse since her days as a mere columnist for the <I>Seattle Times</I>. Not to excuse her, but she is of Filipino descent, which probably explains her antipathy to the Japanese of WW II. Of course, what that has to do with Japanese-<I>Americans</I>, I dunno.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10222703055177237209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18370478.post-90224961583111601352009-02-03T13:24:00.000-05:002009-02-03T13:24:00.000-05:00I think I've heard enough jive talk in my life tha...I think I've heard enough jive talk in my life that pretty much nothing shocks me anymore. But this blatant lie about the failure of the New Deal that is suddenly cropping up from the muck (like the WSJ) is pretty stunning. The last time I heard such a bizarre distortion of facts like this was out of the mouth of Michelle Malkin, the first time I ever heard of her, when she was on some talk show defending the US imprisonment of Japanese civilians in the US during WWII. <BR/><BR/>Ok, Malkin's a wackjob and only other wackjobs listen to her. But the WSJ has a lot of influence, and it's scary to see them so willing to flat-out lie about something like this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
