Dazzled by her man hands
Man-Hands Ann gets a powderpuff interview with Stephen Goode in Insight where it appears that Stephen has an agenda of his own:
Q: You show in splendid detail in your book how liberals time and again over the last half-century have chosen to pay no attention to evidence that challenged their prejudices. Liberals still claim that McCarthy uncovered no communist spies because there weren't any, even though the record shows there were many. But, as you point out, "No amount of evidence proving anyone was a Soviet spy could ever be enough." Why do liberals fail to credit the evidence before them that they have tolerated and defended a half-century of treason?
A: There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Q: One of the most depressing factors you describe in Treason is the endurance of liberal mendacity, the lies they continue to tell about the men and women they regard as heroes but who in fact were traitors. McCarthy charged Owen Lattimore with close ties to communism and questioned the role that Lattimore played in U.S. foreign policy, especially toward communists in China, which Lattimore famously claimed threatened America in no way.
Lattimore has been shown frequently to have stonewalled questions about his views and activities and to have lied about those things. He was editor of Pacific Affairs, the official journal of the Institute for Pacific Relations - a notorious and officially cited Soviet front. He was formally described by the Senate Internal Security subcommittee as "from some time in the 1950s a conscious, articulate instrument of the 'Soviet conspiracy.'" Former top communist Louis Budenz testified to five separate experiences within the Politburo of the Communist Party in the United States in which Lattimore was involved as a Soviet conspirator. Yet, as you point out, "In April 1995, Lattimore's harangue [claiming innocence and attacking McCarthy as "base and despicable"] was described in the Washington Post magazine as 'eloquent' and 'convincing.'" How is it that these untrue liberal claims have such staying power?
A: After a while, conservatives get tired of arguing with liberals. They wear you out with their constant jabberwocky.
Well, its not like Goode is a real journalist or anything....
