Say it isn't so - lol

Lefty Blogger Exposes How Political
Lies Are Spread Over Liberal Blogosphere
Begging the question: is a blogger who seeks truth eligible to be called a “lefty?”
“   Someone on Twitter asked me last night if I’d heard about what was happening in Minnesota with the poor. I didn’t, so they sent me a link to Crooks & Liars that talked about a law proposed there that would make it illegal for poor people to carry more than $20 cash!
[...]
So that’s the claim. I sort of skimmed it and thought to myself “Sounds like a serious charge. “ Up until quite recently, I would have left it at that because Crooks and Liars was one of my go-to sites for information.

Now I think they might want to shorten their name to the more concise and appropriate Liars. [Lee Stranahan: HowPolitical Lies Spread on the Left]

    People tend to believe what they want to believe about any subjective topic. Both sides (lib or conservative) can be lazy and both have been fooled when not searching a bit on their own for - facts.
    It's easy to become spoon fed information, eh?

    This was a great story. Thank God for honest fact checkers. The DFL (Demoncrats) here in Minnesota are bat-shit crazy, and they truely believe their lies.
