Playing the Absolute Moral Authority Card

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 6, 2006 10:54 AM

Over the weekend, I spotlighted Josh Lansdale–the tall tale-telling anti-Bush Iraq war veteran used by the Claire McCaskill campaign in Missouri to attack GOP Sen. Jim Talent’s support of the military.

We’ve done an in-depth report on Lansdale’s fraudulent appearances for McCaskill and retired Gen. Wesley Clark, who is running anti-war ads through election day on CNN and Fox News.

McCaskill is standing by Lansdale and his defenders are invoking the Absolute Moral Authority to shield him from scrutiny.

It’s a well-worn ploy for the Dems–attacking Republicans with flawed and fraudulent figures. Bryan Preston has started an Absolute Moral Authority card collection:
