6. The Big Lie and the Multiple LieFinally, it is worth recalling that Sen. Joseph McCarthy gave his name to witch-hunting via the Senate inquiry process.
Richard Reeves, writing about Senator McCarthy, wrote about two kinds of lies that the public must zealously guard against. They are:
First, The Big Lie – a lie that is so gross, so big, that ordinary minds believe it. Adolf Hitler, said Reeves, was a master of the big lie –, notably, his racist lie about the Jews which led to the Holocaust of the second world war.
De Lima’s†truckloads of evidence†looks like a prime example of the big lie.
