The Hater Who Wasn’t There
Michelle Malkin: Student journalist admits hate crime hoax.
Journalism is hard. A student journalist who makes up stories is not suited for journalism (but should feel right at home with mainstream media work).
Related: Spitting images swirling around a Congressman’s head. Plus, another Congressman has a starring role in a farce I call The Case of the Harmless Coffin. And boy, is it a farce.
Expect lots more cases of “hate libel” from anyone invested in Obamacare’s passage, especially as November approaches. Some will be pathetic straw-grasping like the “coffin incident”. Others may sound more plausible like the “spitting” one, but they will all have the same objective: painting the Democrats’ opponents as monsters so as to make Democrats look good by comparison: the lesser of two evils. “Sure we’re awful, but look over there: hate!”
Given how unpopular the Democratic Congress has become, that’s the only hand they have left to play.
