WHAT JOE WILSON'S LIES HAVE WROUGHT
I've never understood why Joe Wilson's honesty, or lack thereof, matters in this case. The controversy as I understand it is about the administration supposedly outing his wife as an undercover agent in an effort to either exact revenge or undermine his credibility. Suppose she was undercover and revealing her really did harm the country's intelligence efforts. Would that be a greater crime if Wilson had been telling the truth?
This whole line of argument seems to me to be a deflection strategy, or an indirect ad-hominem:
A. Lefties believe Joe Wilson is a cool guy
B. Lefties believe that the outing of an undercover agent for political purposes is a crime
C. Joe Wilson is a jerk, therefore lefties are wrong about A, therefore they must also be wrong about B.What am I missing here?
