RETRACTION TIME

Not for me. I haven't been falsely accusing the Bush adminstration of resuming the practice of honoring dead Confederates. But Josh Marshall, Atrios, Kos and a few others have, having been misled by their comrades in the Democrat Party. When will they wise up, I wonder, and realize that Paul Begala pretty much makes stuff up to smear Republicans? I guess they'll realize it when they stop similar practices of their own.

Anyway, here's the lowdown from Ricky West. If the aforementioned bloggers have any sense that their credibility is on the line, a retraction of their recent comments on this issue should be along shortly.

But I'm not holding my breath.

UPDATE: Time has retracted its story on the issue, which seems to have been the jumping-off point for the whole thing. Sloppy, very sloppy, but at least they've run a proper correction.

RJ West is keeping a running tally on how the usual suspects respond to Time's retraction. So far, not good. True to form, Marshall has blurbed the retraction but offered nothing in regard to his own analysis of the false story. Only CalPundit has done the full retraction thus far.
