In fact, it is the very kind of expos\u00e9 that TAH is famed for. However, in this case, the lowlife scumbag spinning faux tales of military valor isn\u2019t your typical lowlife scumbag usually found on these pages but a prominent professor and Pulitzer-winning author, Joseph Ellis. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/opinion\/commentary\/la-oe-1014-ellis-debt-tea-party-shutdown-20131015,0,6307279.story\">The Los Angeles Times<\/a> published an op-ed hit piece by Ellis wherein he sneeringly attacks the Tea Party and conservatives. M. Catharine Evans, writing at American Thinker, points out that historian Ellis is a demonstrated serial liar regarding his own history and that much of his lying is in regard to Stolen Valor issues, such as serving in combat with the 101st Airborne in Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p>Ellis, who also prevaricates about his high school athletic prowess, was <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Joseph_Ellis#False_claims_of_combat_service_and_anti-war_leadership\">exposed<\/a> years ago but apparently his demonstrated dishonesty poses no problem for the Times. The liberal left has no problem embracing phony heroes, John Kerry being the poster child proof of that. But can you just imagine the dismissive contempt in the liberal media were a conservative guilty of stolen valor to write such an op-ed attacking a leftist political organization and congressional Democrats?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a piece up over at American Thinker that should be of interest to TAH followers. &hellip; <a title=\"A History of Lying\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=38040\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">A History of Lying<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":622,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[145,155],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-schools","category-shitbags"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/622"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38040"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38040\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
