Democrat Culture of Corruption #37: The Leftist Confederacy
First question – where is Ezra Klein?
The news is out – Scott Beauchamp has declared himself a liar and a traitor. He admitted to lying about scenes that he wrote out for The New Republic detailing atrocious acts by war ravaged soldiers. He is a traitor because he took the honor of the soldiers around him and sold it for personal fame and international shame. And never doubt he meant to shame the military he was in – a double agent of sorts was he – dressed in fatigues so he could better mock the men and women around him.
But he is not alone – the left has a disturbing record of offering for the anti-war movement frauds and cowards – most of them earning their uniforms through the thrift store check out line. Remember Jimmy Massey? He wrote a book detailing American atrocities, replete with stories about trailers stuffed with Iraqi civilians and children murdered execution style. Journalists lapped it up, and America’s reputation was bloodied with unabashed glee replacing journalistic integrity. By the time he was proven to be a liar so much damage had already been done.
But then Cindy Sheehan arrived – prostituting the heroism of her son for ideological fame and ill fortune. Standing by her was special forces hero turned war protester Jesse Macbeth. He had come out with a movie that would “change your life.” The bodies piled up, a trail of blood leading to American boots and the senseless militarism that drove them. He stood on stage tearfully recounting the horrors he participated in, murdering and raping.
The left just knows that America is the villain in this otherwise peaceful world – look at the way they are framing the tragedy of Pat Tillman. They see no lunacy in the concept that George Bush would want to execute a man who might have a different opinion about the war than him. They assign the most depraved of motives to their ideological enemies, that’s why it was so easy for them to believe every one of these frauds. They want it to be true – they need it to be true.
But they can believe it all they want. All that can really be proven is that the left has become synonymous with fraud.
Ezra Klein – where are you?
Extra: Andrew Sullivan wrote on July 27 “First-person war-stories are always hard to verify beyond a shadow of a doubt, no? But if Malkin can’t dredge up something and fling it by now, no one can.”

The MSM once again proves its concern with objective reporting, the truth, and demonstrates its bankruptcy. Thank god for the internet.
