Those Big Lies about the ‘Big Lie’

Jim Goad writes:

Two Democratic Party spokespeeps recently perpetuated the astoundingly pervasive myth that Hitler and Goebbels openly advocated deceiving the public, which, if you pause three seconds to think about it, wouldn’t be the wisest strategy for any politician to publicly espouse.

The true Big Lie here is the implication that Hitler or Goebbels ever publicly endorsed such a method. You’ll see this asserted hundreds of thousands of times across the Internet’s vast caverns, but you’ll never see it traced to a source document. The truth—at least according to their own documented words—is that Hitler and Goebbels criticized their enemies for employing Big Lies.
