What is it about the radical rightwingers that causes them to feel free to lie blatantly, transparently, and often? Woody is at it again:
Ted Kennedy Attacks on Homeland Security: “Fake but Accurate”
Woody has invented this quote out of whole cloth. As reported in the Boston Globe, this is what was actually said:
Laura Capps, a Kennedy spokeswoman, said last night that the senator cited ‘’public reports” in his opinion piece. Even if the assertion was a hoax, she said, it did not detract from Kennedy’s broader point that the Bush administration has gone too far in engaging in surveillance.
So Kennedy never really used the phrase “fake but accurate”, and Woody neatly ducks discussing whether the Bush administration has indeed gone too far in engaging in surveillance.
Woody warns us:
The next time that some Democrat or liberal is telling you that Bush lied, consider the source.
This cuts both ways. The next time Woody tells you somebody said something, consider the source.
