Subject: Conservatives continue to get Iraqi WMD story wrong


MSNBC




The New York Times has a powerful, front-page article today on Iraqi chemical weapons from the Saddam Hussein era. It's an impressive piece of investigative journalism from C.J. Chivers – which the right is unwisely seizing on for reasons that don't make sense...

Social Politics - 101: The answer is actually quite simple, Republicans (re: Conservatives) are history re-writers. When they do bad things, they deny it, then continue with a re-telling (re-write) of history. Since they're never held accountable for their many misdeeds (2000-08, etc.) they see no need to stop doing it. Just listen to their campaign reasoning for electing them this November, etc.
