“When you accuse your political enemies of perpetrating the big lie”

Where do the accusations end and the actualities of the lie begin? Perhaps we take Senlin’s advice and discard silly notions of “dunce right wing bloggers” like myself. Who needs such trivialities as “facts” anyway? They’re just “a bunch of jazz”, right?

There is a succinct difference between accusation of a lie and identification of a lie. It’s those pesky facts that get in the way, no?

Regarding the suggestion that one conservative’s notion of a lie is another liberal’s notion of a “parable”: feeble at best and disingenuous at worst. To qualify as a parable, one understands that the story is a fictitious narrative. When presented as an actual occurrence which never happened, most folks tend to consider that a lie.
