AP's Tom Raum confuses his fantasies for fact

The longtime AP writer makes up a story line and narrative for an article and then, when pressed, goes on a futile search for facts to support it.

    Another example of made-up "liberal criticism" in today's WaPo

    The always-repellent Michael Gerson, former Bush speechwriter, is tsk-tsk'ing about unnamed "liberals" who are criticizing Palin's insane snake-handling theocratic beliefs.

    As a bonus, without a hint of irony, he mocks liberal Christians in the exact same column, for being tantamount to "secularists" and not being as numerous as "evangelicals" (of course, being as dishonest as he is, he compares one specific "liberal" denomination to the incredibly broad banner of "evangelicals" which spans a quite varied range of beliefs).
