Study Shows "Center-Right Nation" Narrative Spiked Immediately After Election Day
From time to time I've done detailed debunkings of the absurd myths by which conservatives defend the Vietnam War: for instance here, here, here, and here (one of my best efforts was in The New Republic, but with an astonishing incompetence, all their archives went up in smoke when they moved to a new website, so I can't link to it).
So here's my question: a supremely absurd regurgitation of these arguments has recently shown up in the conservative magazine Commentary. It gives me a headache to debunk historical solecisms point by point; the futility—the truth won't change these people's mind—makes me feel like I'm filling a bathtub with an eye-dropper. But for my loyal reader's sake, I'll do it—if you want me to.
So please do vote in the comments: is this a productive use of my time?
