See Dr. Sanity's interesting post on John Leo's observations on how the left makes assertions that are not based on fact but on widely shared emotion.
Not only are they not based in fact, they are contrary to fact. The disparity between assertion and fact can be shown time and again without there ever being an end to the assertion. "Who needs proof? Shoot the mad dog!" as the Bolsheviks liked to say.
Before the war with Iraq, one Democratic leader after another declaimed upon the unacceptability of Saddam Hussein's possession of, pursuit of, or tinkering with WMD (see "Reference | Nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons" in sidebar to right).
After the invasion, to a man, it was as though they would never have signed on to the enterprise had they not been deliberately misled by George Bush. Had W in fact not been the sole and exclusive personage to sound the tocsin of WMD in the hands of the Iraqi madman?
Verily. Only he.
Ergo, the absence of WMD in Iraq, post-invasion, can only be explained by the perfidy of one lyin' yella dog.

A blog about Islamic intolerance and fanaticism; socialism; communism; government stupidity; and lying weasels everywhere, hopefully couched in vibrant and literate English and foreign words that make us look good.
