It's called plausible denial.
National Review has been there for awhile.
Let’s step back here. This incident was nothing - worse things happen on every playground on every schoolyard in the world every day. I know it was pushed because of the MAGA hats, but why push it? They knew it would be exposed as a lie pretty quickly, so what was the purpose? Suspect they wanted to start cw2 from this - but still can’t fathom why they want a cw in the first place. If they keep pushing it will eventually come to that, but why does the left want it?
Trump hatred makes you stupid.
(generic ‘you’)
Can’t stand Jonah Goldberg either. Goldberg is a know it all.
The National Review died with Bill Buckley.
As a human race, we are better off than ever in history and yet everybody’s a nervous effing wreck.

Heckuva thoughtful post. You’ve nailed the condition of the mental state of America (I mean that as a rough generalization). Look forward to seeing your opinions now and then.
National Review is a publication of the neocons. They, and their magazine, can go right over to the liberals and stay there, as far as I’m concerned. A group of young men have been libeled by this gang which repeated the trash put out by the uniform leftist media without checking it. They should be ashamed of themselves, if a magazine that publishes the likes of French, Williamson and Will is capable of shame.
“...Over the years, I’ve heard (and perpetrated, I confess) some imaginative definitions of the “seamless garment,” or “consistent ethic of life.” It’s a matter of identifying a common principle that can be shown to underlie and unite various causes — the abolition of abortion, of euthanasia, of the death penalty, of you name it — that most people would say are disparate and unrelated. How heightened border security might be of a piece with protecting unborn children is less intuitively obvious than most such hypothetical linkages I’ve encountered...”
This was as far as I could read. Someone called the NRO writing style pompous or pretentious. Pendantic can be added along with muddying the water to appear deep!
Wow... it has taken until 11 pm for FOX radio to start correcting the story
"WTF? There are no “Heavy hitters” at National Review. What a bunch of juvenile squat."
Just left off the "S" in front.

If not before this episode, Lowry has finally shown that he is a true ahole.
Most “Righties” are cucks.
“Steaming pile of Bill Kristol” works.
It looks like he’s at least on our side with the Gillette boycott, LOL.
Big surprise. Not.
Better look fast. This is the last you will hear if it on the fake news.
He looks like he just came off a 6 month drunk.
I did not, until now, know that there was any such animal. Nor care.

I could ‘splain it to him. Needing cheap labor from Mexico is BECAUSE of the young US population lost to abortion. We can’t be bothered having and raising our own kids.
Anyone who doesn’t get that does not belong in any purportedly intellectual pursuit.
