^^^ Funny you should say that - I've seen a few on this very site make those arguments.

Edit - however - when you read the comic carefully the "liberal" logic is just as circular as the "conservative" For example I don't see how everybody knowing that the war was a forgone conclusion (which is a true statement - I lived in the US at the time and I saw it coming) translates into everybody knows the president was lying.

I wonder if Tom Tomorrow realized he made both sides look silly in this one.

I would have to ask who on this message board and does not agree that the DS memo is a “smoking gun” proving administrative lies has answered “Yes, but that’s old knew” to this accusation?:

“The memo flatly states that the intelligence was being “fixed around the policy” - - and that Bush had “Made up his mind” to go to war”?

Yes, but the memo is hearsay as opposed to actual fact. The "memo" is one man's opinion that has no backup.

That argument I have heard, but not the one in this cartoon.

Hearsay does not automatically equate to false information.

Neither does it automatically equate to true information either.

Given the news over the weekend from the original reporter, the issue is moot anyway.

(Although, I do agree with Minuet on the "two-sided circular logic" point in the cartoon.)

No one has argued that hearsay = truth (that I am aware of).
