Earlier today, ‘Midwest Jim’ at Gateway Pundit posted a faked photo showing John Kerry standing next to Jane Fonda on a podium, supposedly at a rally opposing the Vietnam War in the early Seventies. The photo is a known fake; it was exposed as such by the original photographer over two years ago. He’s taken the faked photo off his site now, but you can see a mirror of the original post.
The fact that the photo was long ago exposed as a fraud didn’t matter to ‘Midwest Jim’. He claims in his Blogger profile that he is interested in ‘truth’ — but clearly, that statement is a blatant lie. So long as ‘Jim’ sees an opportunity to post a smear, the ‘truth’ can go soak its head. Recycling a long-discredited lie is soooooo much easier. ‘Jim’ is only interested in giving lip service to the truth when his use of a lie is exposed.
But ‘Jim’ doesn’t limit himself to copying other folk’s lies. Nope, he’s quite capable of inventing brand new lies. Complaining about a recent New York Times article, he posts a copy of a graphic used by the military to illustrate Iraq’s slide towards civil war, and wails:
But if you notice the colored symbols in the leaked document there are no critical (red) indicators of this. So how does the New York Times get civil war out of this leaked document?
What an astoundingly clumsy liar you are, Jimmy. Look at the last indicator, the one labelled “Low level violence motivated by sectarian differences”. What color is it? That’s right, Jimmy — it’s red. Jumpin’ Judas on a pogo stick, Jimmy, how fucking stupid do you think your readers are?
And “how does the New York Times get civil war out of this leaked document?” Gee, I dunno… would the fact that the index keeps moving toward chaos be a clue, Jimmy? I guess not. That’s waaaaaay too complicated for a clueless mook like you to grasp.
Old lies or new lies — ‘Midwest Jim’ is only too willing to lie, and lie, and lie again. He can’t think much of his readers if he’s so willing to lie to them, now can he?
