The entire left-wing reaction to Memogate is schizoid.. but reminiscent of something else nefarious recently.
The left's reaction goes like this:
1. The documents ARE real, despite all the evidence they are forgeries; and
2. But if they are forgeries it is all a GOP plot to try to make us look stupid/gullible/partisan.
You build up a false reality and stick to it while at the same time decrying the falsity by being a plot by your enemies.
It is eerily reminiscent of the Muslim world's reaction to 9/11, which continues to this day.
1. You have half the Muslim world walking around with Osama T-shirts showing two blazing buildings, screaming praise for "OSAMA OSAMA!!"; and
2. AT the SAME TIME, those same Muslims will tell you 9/11 was all a CIA/Mossad/Israeli plot and no Muslims were involved.
Funny, how both groups resort to the same strategies.
Very perceptive...
