Minnesota Republicans Seek To Arrest Poor People For Carrying More Than $20 On Their Persons

Subtitled: How the Left Wing Blogosphere Spreads Ridiculous Political Lies.

They're just making stuff up. And more embarrassing, then everyone just links the bloggers making the absurd claims without 1, checking to see if it's accurate, or 2, anyone's bullshit meters going off even a little bit.

Number 2 is important if you're someone tossing out a lot of links and stuff. A functioning bullshit detector can keep you from saying silly stuff even if you're (like me) kind of lazy and think reading is for fags.

And even more important than everyone just playing follow-the-leader and repeating the original false claim -- then everyone also doubles-down and claims that it's all true, even in the face of perfect evidence it's entirely false.

Worth reading.

These are the people feeding stories to the Make Believe Media. This is their junior league.

That's Lee Stranahan again, by the way, continuing to endear himself to the leftwing blogosphere.
