HE’S RIGHT ON THIS: Wilfred Reilly’s Hate Crime Hoax: How the Left is Selling a Fake Race War is worth reading. I speak to plenty of people on the left side of the political spectrum. They are adamant that hoaxes are rare … but they are not right. The fact that they persist in saying so (and/or believing so) is part of the problem.
(For the “Cliff Notes” version, see my dissenting statement in the recent report of Commission on Civil Rights. I cite Reilly there.)
