Desperation Sets In - Fake but Plausible
Andrew Sullivan (who I am loathe to link to) has the fake but plausible accusation. The left is SO desperate to believe that George Bush is the devil and we are imperialist wackos they’ll grasp to any illusion and claim it is true, or if it is not true that it should be.
Seymour Hersh, Naomi Klein, and others were saying at IIMPR that civil war is beginning in Iraq, even though many insurgents aren’t even Iraqis. This is not to say we are doing brilliantly in Iraq, but let’s be honest, Syria, Iran, and Saudi Arabia are all anxiously sending people across the borders to fight us.
The left in this country has become disconnected with the truth and they are willing to grasp to any lie that supports their point. “Fake but plausible”? Hardly. This isn’t a gift “from the administration to Osama Bin Laden”, this was a gift from the liberal media and Newsweek to Osama Bin Laden.
