'The all- time most hypocritical piece ever written featuring liberal finger waging at conservatives over their ire at the product of the leftist press' (and why liberals think the way they do - Video)

Warner Todd Huston on what has to be the whackiest and most absurd piece ever to come out of the leftist media:

This has to rank as the all time most hypocritical piece I've yet seen featuring liberal finger waging at conservatives over their ire at the product of the leftist press. It is conservatives, you see, that have "have put the final nail in the coffin of truth," in essence killing the truth, not the left for doing its level best to eliminate the entire concept of truth. It is our fault for pointing out the liberal's efforts to destroy truth not theirs for having launched the campaign. How's THAT for spin?

The Times' Gregory Rodriguez gives us this convoluted logic in "When all truth is relative Conservatives play a dangerous game in attacking the media for bias" from September 29. In it, Rodriguez acknowledges that it is the left and our fetid universities that launched a campaign early last century to make truth relative or situational. But, instead of focusing on this illicit attack on truth, Rodriguez blames those pointing out the folly of relativity for causing what he sees as the downfall of truth. Yes, it's the watchdogs' fault, not the perpetrators!

I say, if you want truth, the truth is Rodriguez isn't mad that the truth has been harmed, he's mad that HIS "truth" has a dissenting voice against it.

Rodriguez' first "truth" is to castigate the McCain campaign for going on the assault against the anti-McCain media. Apparently, Rodriguez imagines that there is some partisan point he can make by focusing on the fact that a few years ago one of McCain's advisers worked as a consultant for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Yet, Rodriguez doesn't seem to find it of interest to mention that Barack Obama himself employs the failed former head of Fannie Mae, Jim Johnson, nor that Obama is the number two highest recipient of Fannie Mae campaign contributions right below Democrat Chris Dodd of the Senate Banking Committee. Rodriguez also doesn't seem much interested that Franklin Raines, one of the culprits in laying Freddie Mac low, is an Obama adviser. In other words, for being worried about "truth," it seems like Rodriguez is only interested in the half that makes HIS side look better.

Sound incredibly nutty? Wondering how a someone can think in such an illogical and absurd manner? No problem, here Evan Sayet, writer, lecturer and pundit, explains all about how modern liberals think in a 47 minute address. Sayat's entertaining yet very serious lecture examines the modern liberal "mindset" and how it can lead to siding with evil over good and behaviors that produce failure rather than success. Interestingly, a former liberal himself, he says that liberals really do hate America and that the Democrats are wrong on just about every issue. It starts off a little slow, but then kicks into high gear. Watch the first five minutes and you'll want to watch it all - some have called this lecture - "riveting":
