Disengenuos liberal

For anyone interested in how the MSM (liberal) media routinely slimes  conservatives, which is to say every time they write a column about one, here is a piece by Joe Conason, a Boston Globe newspaper columnist, and James Taranto's deconstruction of that column here,.  What you find is a very good example of the genre: a) take quotes out of contact and use to impute bad motives to the speaker; b) accuse anyone who does something that can possibly be construed as racist of being a conservative or a Republican (whether you know he is for a fact or not); and c) simply lie about the the facts of an incident in order to slime your intended subject.  This is what these people do day in day out and have been doing so for many, many years.  It's nice to see someone call them on this "technique" of theirs once in a while:  thank you James Taranto of the WSJ.
