What really hurts

Lying hurts.

Dennis Prager's latest column is entitled "How the Left Harmed America This Week." It contains this passage.

The first example involved the ACLU, which has threatened Southwest Airlines with a lawsuit. Southwest ordered a passenger off a flight after she refused to cover her T-shirt on which was printed an expletive -- "Fu--ers" -- referring to President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

And this from CNN Money.

Lorrie Heasley, of Woodland, Wash., was asked to leave her flight from Los Angeles to Portland, Ore., Tuesday for wearing a T-shirt with pictures of President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and a phrase similar to the popular film title "Meet the Fockers."

Fockers is not the same word as Fu--ers, Mr. Prager. Why did you lie to the American people? To make your wounded sentiments seem more plausible?

According to Mr. Prager the left likes cussing, while most Americans don't like cussing. Someone should tell that to Vice President Cheney.

Anyway the other ways we liberals are hurting America is that a judge released more pictures from Abu Ghraib (the judge was a liberal, apparently), and we said some mean things about Bill Bennett (mostly by simply repeating what he had said). That's it in a nutshell; liberals hurt America when they tell the truth about what is going on.

Or at least according to Dennis Prager. My own opinion runs somewhat differently.

Lying Hurts.
