re: Leftist icon Seymour Hersh admits and defends habitual lying
"As has been stated here previously, deliberate lying for the greater good of destroying Bush and opposing Republicans is now OK, and in fact to be admired. Sorta the same rationale used by defenders of communism for decades. So yes, Hersh lied about Abu Ghraib and other incidents. So convenient that his claimed ground truth incidents are unverifyable. "
Also rationale for those advocating the idea that Global warming is a problem requiring a oppressive govt law making.
