On wingnuts discrediting Lancet's 655k dead Iraqis study

[theliberalavenger]

Apologies for the linkwhoring...

A colleague of mine at LiberalAvenger.com posted a brilliant article about the Lancet study indicating 655,000 additional deaths in Iraq since the invasion - and the conservative/wingnut spin that has been/will be deployed to discredit the study. The post has been selected for the Daou Report and really is a "must read" as we prepare ourselves for the inevitable backlash against any such information.

Here is the link to the article:

Please do read it and pass it along to any friends who engage in rhetorical battle against the forces of darkness who walk the halls of power in our country today.

Thank you!

2. A good example of wingnut pushback

The back-and-forth found in the comments on the following thread is a good example of the fear we're facing on the part of right-wingers when they realize deep-down the scale of the suffering that we have caused the Iraqi people:
