“If the ends justify the means, then there will be occasions where lying and sliming are justified by important-enough policy goals.”
Your point is well taken. After all, Martin Luther said that there are times when lying is justified. When it is required, he advised that one do so boldly. Leftists don’t believe, however, that lying is something you do rarely and thoughtfully. No, it is one’s right to lie on behalf of all political goals. It becomes the normal manner to proceed in the everyday world.
