“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0

Now it is Kimball Shinkoskey, writing at the Las Vegas Sun, who hears a rhyme.

She is responding to “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan’s statement on May 26 that “spreading lies about elections is free speech.” Here’s a bit of what she has to say:

America has arrived at the point Lenin took Russia to during the communist revolution there. Lenin said mischief in public speech was patriotic, because “Lying is justified by our objectives.” His objective was to overthrow the government there, and the objective of a certain political faction is to overthrow our traditional form of government here as well.
