Not a one.
Zero.
But somehow, pointing this guy out as a liar is both a "smear" and a right-wing reaction?
Swift Boat, Part 2 - a lying douchebag is somehow smeared when everyone refutes his lies.
The media is odious.

Yglesias has my proxy. When you come up with a lie, you just let us know. As Yglesias says,
- What the right is trying to do is establish a precedent where if you say things the right doesn't want to hear anonymously then you'll be treated with a presumption of guilt. No matter how vindicated the article may be, it's still the case that TNR expended a lot of person-hours on re-verifying things even though nobody on the right raised any serious reason to doubt the story other than that it wasn't something they wanted to believe. It's extremely difficult to operate that way, and people won't want to. But suppose you do identify yourself. Then you get the full Michelle Malkin treatment -- character slimed, all kinds of personal details splayed across the internet, don't say you weren't warned.
How odd that other troops aren't stepping up to get the same treatment.
