In any case, I think he meant that one should tell plausible lies. Not blatant garbage like what G.L. Alston’s attempting here.

Lenin also said this:

“A lie told often enough becomes truth.”

But as for “plausible lies”, the Left’s audacity is limited only by the relative strength of their opposition. IOW: the more they can make us cower with their relentless accusations of “racists!” and “Nazis!”, the more audacious the lies they will push.

For an eye-opening education into the end results of succumbing to the Left’s propaganda campaigns; and the unbelieveable levels to which they’ll sink in their efforts; I suggest reading The Dragons of Expecation by Robert Conquest…in particular, the chapter “Inside the New Society”.
