Some odd stories have recently appeared in Reverend Moon's Washington Times -- and in UPI's feed. UPI is the press service owned by the same pseudomessiah.
As we noted in a previous column, UPI published a story "confirming" the tale that Fitzgerald had studied an Italian parliamentary report on the Niger forgeries. Laura Rozen has persuasively argued that no such report ever existed. Why, then, did UPI claim otherwise? This was one false story that did not benefit the Bush agenda -- so why did the Moon-men spread it?
Similarly harmful to the neo-con cause is the recent Washington Times interview with former Reagan advisor Lyn Nofziger, who blasts the current regime of "corrupt" Republicans. He even issues an oblique call for ousting the party from power!
A single story of this sort can prove far more hurtful to Bush than will a thousand posts written by left-wing bloggers. Let's face it: Progressives tend to preach to the converted. Bush's base -- the entranced Jesus-junkies who make up the bulk of his remaining supporters -- will never read or heed the words produced by me, or by you, or by any other progressive scribbler. But they may take note of a piece in the Washington Times.
Has the Lord of the Second Advent lost faith in Bush?
