Liberal Lies and Hoaxes

Michelle Malkin blogs on another liberal hoax Where a U of Mass. student claimed that he had been visited by Homeland Security agents after requesting Mao' little Red Book the the interlibrary system. Now he's admited he just made it up.

The UMass Dartmouth student who claimed to have been visited by Homeland Security agents over his request for "The Little Red Book" by Mao Zedong has admitted to making up the entire story.
The 22-year-old student tearfully admitted he made the story up to his history professor, Dr. Brian Glyn Williams, and his parents, after being confronted with the inconsistencies in his account.
Had the student stuck to his original story, it might never have been proved false.
But on Thursday, when the student told his tale in the office of UMass Dartmouth professor Dr. Robert Pontbriand to Dr. Williams, Dr. Pontbriand, university spokesman John Hoey and The Standard-Times, the student added new details.

Are these lies and hoaxes all part of a bigger trend? Mary Mapes is still running around claiming denial even after she has proven that she participated in one of the biggest hoaxes. The only real question is whether she is stupid enough to believe in the papers or whether she was a willing participent in the fraud. Recently the Paul Mirecki story popped out about a disenfranchised professor who faked a beating to prove that the right wingers are out to get him. I found a post on TPRS that sported a chart of Red and Blue States with Average IQs on the Chart . Connecticutt had 130 and poor Missisippi only had 85. The only problem is that the chart is totally fiction as exposed by Snopes

Maybe its just me, or I just don't notice, but I don't see the outright lies and fraud comming from mainstream conservatives. The right is subject to critisism, there are many topics that can be fairly debated. Reasonable discussion is closed once one side results to such tactics.
