The Assisted Suicide Of The American Right

Could any paranoid far leftist have invented the story of the mugging hoax? Just read AllahPundit who was one of the saner ones. Yes: Michelle Malkin is now the voice of calm reason on the right. Glenn Reynolds' first post yesterday:

This is so serious that I predict it will get almost one-tenth as much national coverage as something some guy may have yelled at a Palin rally once.

McCarthy:

I'm not apologizing, because the story is news and it would have been discussed whether I'd posted on it or not.

Steyn:

I regret that I was among those (while being interviewed on the radio yesterday, and having not seen the dubious pictures) who took the story at, so to speak, face value.

Jonah:

I have a debilitating cold and am now going to bed for a while.
