Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy.

Another Memo Hoax?

The folks at Powerline have found what may be another forged-document scam perpetrated by the press, and it involves the Terri Schiavo case.

Although I think the Republicans are playing politics with Terri Schiavo, I do hope this turns out to be a fake.

I really hate that this case is turning into political theatre.

It appears to be more than Republicans playing politics; countless Democrats are trying to paint all this as sinister moves by people pushing a "radical far right agenda" and using this as an excuse to bash Republicans over things like Medicare.

I guess with any political question, naked partisanship's going to come out like that.

Very different from Rathergate, I think, in that there could easily be more than one version of it, since no real source is being identified other than the vague "GOP."

True, the MSM is trying to make it sound officially from the Republicans—no great surprise there.

So if I interpret it properly, someone who works somewhere in or around congress who may or may not have been a republican may or may not have written this note which may or may not have been actually circulated.

Yeah, glad the news media is there for us.
