The Dishonesty of the Right Wingnuts

There is no excuse for this dishonesty. None. And it's fucking ubiquitous and tolerated and allowed and enabled by Big Media:

Michael Moore, 2003 Oscars:

We -- We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons.

Whether it's the fictition of duct tape or the fictitious of orange alerts we are against this war, Mr. Bush.

Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you.

And any time you've got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up.

Andrew Sullivan, soon after:

NO: I didn't watch the Oscars. I loathe those people for the most part, but I'm glad to hear that some of them actually booed Michael Moore. For relief, I watched "Billy Madison."

Andrew Sullivan, just recently:

The president's basic rationale for the war in Iraq was debunked within a few weeks of the invasion.
