Memogate redux?
Powerline has been all over the saga of a possibly forged Republican talking points memo that spells out Republican strategy regarding the Schiavo case. The unsigned memo called the case a "great political issue, this is a tough issue for Democrats" and thrills that "the pro-life base will be excited." It's a disturbing admission of cold political opportunism on the part of Republicans - that is, if it's true.
I've shied away from mentioning this previously because, frankly, the evidence of forgery put forth by Powerline is unconvincing. I must say, it’s incredibly irresponsible of John Hinderaker to claim that it “looks most likely” that the memo was a “Democratic dirty trick” while the evidence is so inconclusive. Still, it's clear that something fishy is going on here, and it's definitely something to watch.
