The Anatomy of a Slander: Matthews against Huckabee

Thursday, February 24, 2011 | Posted by: Allen Estrin at 2:48 PM

Here's how it breaks down:

Matthews Accuses Huckabee of Advocating Ethnic Cleansing
Listen to first 27 seconds. Note that Matthews begins by calling Huckabee "a whack" and "a lunatic." But he's only warming up.

Here’s the Most Inflammatory Report I Could Find about Huckabee and Israel
AP report of his visit to Israel. He doesn’t believe Israel should give up settlements to appease Palestinians.

Here’s How Leftist Media Matters Willfully Distorts It
Matthews swallows it whole. This is how the Left operates: make a wild accusation, the more outrageous the better; don't worry about backing it up because the media will always give you a pass even if it turns out to be an obvious lie. Next victim please...
