Jennifer Rubin tosses out that claim without even attempting to justify it, because it is absurd on its face.
How about this for turnaround?
Never before has someone stretched the 'conservative' appellation so far beyond its original intent and meaning as the crypto-Communist Jennifer Rubin.
See how easy that is? No need whatsoever for me to back up that assertion - I simply claim that it is true, because, well, because I'm never wrong and I always tell the truth.
No intellectual honesty or consideration of alternate viewpoints is necessary, whether in Jennifer's world or in my counterpoint. If I'm feeling especially frisky, just as Jennifer does in her articles, I can lard my writing with plenty of meaningless sound-bite-sized quotes or unsupported assertions from others who share my low opinion of Jennifer to 'sex up' the narrative (to borrow a term from some British tabloids).
So there - take that, Jennifer...
The problem is many people believe anything that they see in writing.
