WOW, I have to give her credit, she does describe the modus operandus for her favorite Demagogues of the left for the past 40+ years (now if only she had described how Ted Kennedy's calumnies gaves us the verb "to bork" etc.):

"The problem with calumny is not merely that it motivates hatred or that it is simply dishonest. Even more significant, effective dishonesty -- calumny that succeeds in its goals -- undermines cultural commitments to truth by encouraging cynicism. When lies work, why not lie? Yet when a culture ceases to honor the truth, it loses its ability to preserve law, justice and fairness."

Exactly right!

Where was she when calumny was being exercise with great glee against Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas?

As ye sow... so ye shall reap

What's good for a goose is sauce for a gander

Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones

etc.
