How long after the publication of the original story did it take for these poltroons to cough up an apology for perpetrating a massive hoax? Nearly a year? Why the hell did it take so long, anyway?
To allow the original allegations to permeate throughout the LoFo population; who will probably never hear of the retraction/apology. Therefore, the original lie will continue to be repeated in Democrat circles.
Sort of like the "Hands up, don't shoot" lie.
