Charlotte Allen, A Tale of Two Trials<\/a>.  An excellent point-by-point rebuttal of (willful?) mistakes about the facts and the law made by the purveyors of  the liberal-left 'narrative.'<\/span><\/p>\n

'Narrative' is a POMO word favored by those who for whom power is the end.  For a leftist, truth doesn't matter unless it can be used as a means to the end of power.  What matters are those 'narratives' that help forward their agenda.  A narrative needn't be true to be a narrative.  It is quite in line with Karl Marx's 11th Thesis on Feuerbach, "The philosophers  have variously interpreted the world; the point, however, is to change it." <\/span><\/p>\n

To recover from the foregoing farrago of Unsinn<\/em>, enjoy this outstanding piece by John Lott, Obama's Racial Imbalance<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
