Following the Alger Hiss example

R. Emmett Tyrrell compares today's Democrats to Alger Hiss. Alger Hiss was and is a great hero for liberals. At one time in America, belief in the innocence of Hiss was one of the defining beliefs of being a good liberal. Tyrrell:

Hiss fashioned what has become a reliable liberal tactic, to wit, lie, lie despite all the evidence against you, lie brazenly, lie heroically.

And:

The longstanding Hiss controversy was utterly unnecessary save for the fact that liberals are easily duped and often very good liars.

I believe today's Democratic leadership contains some very good liars.

Tyrrell makes a lot of sense. The use of and belief in the Big Lie is an essential part of the Democrats' playbook today.
