#1 The Memo
Posted by BigEd 2004-10-10 5:31:46 AM||   2004-10-10 5:31:46 AM|| Front Page Top

#2 I had to read the whole memo five times to get an idea of what it means. When you think of it, it's a masterful achievement to write a memo of a few hundred words and say virtually nothing, but hint at so much. The guy has really mastered the gobbledygook of propaganda masquerading as responsible journalism.

So I thought I'd try to translate the memo into simple English:

These two guys both lie and fabricate, but their guy does it much better than our guy, and is using it against our guy. In fact, their guy could win if we don't support and push our guy. I know I don't have to tell you who our guy is. So go for it.

(I pasted in this comment from yesterday's article, because I think it still applies).

#3 "Kerry distorts, takes out of context, and mistakes all the time, but these are not central to his efforts to win."

Not "central to his efforts to win"??? They're the ENTIRETY of his efforts to win. Were it not for massive, non-stop lying and distortions, Kerry would be unable to make even the weakest case for electing him President.

I haven't heard an honest word out of a Democrat's mouth, other than Zell Miller and occasionally Joe Lieberman, in at least six years; and it's why I'm no longer a Democrat after having been one for three decades.

As for the rhetorical gymnastics in Halperin's memo, this is just the usual fare of leftist logic, as with the "all animals are equal, some are more equal than others" line in Animal Farm. Leftist logic can justify ANYTHING.

#4 Halperin's also marginally literate. Not only is the memo devoid of logic; it's riddled with dumb grammatical mistakes and non-sequiturs.

More evidence of what we already knew: to be an MSM journalist or producer requires no real talent or training or professional commitment.

Screw these jokers. Smash the MSM. Let a thousand blogs contend.
