but ah my friends and oh my foes, it shed a lovely light.

120. Well, I got several hides on posts that had inconvenient facts that were not RW at all

hidden, some people can't handle facts, and some people think that any lie they'd like to believe about people they don't like are "facts" and not RW at all, despite their existence in the RW echo chamber. The "magic" is amazing, when Rove and the Daily Caller etc. are "factual" simply because one wishes their screeds were actually true.

The magic that turned RW smears into "facts" are explained here:

During the primaries such "magic" was often used, and any dissent silenced. Even posts that cited the actual printed writings of a candidate in context and directly were deemed to be "inconvenient" despite their factual attribution, while magic was used to cobble together bits and pieces to create a story that the RW had originated, and were treated as facts.

Aren't you glad that primary season is over and such obvious lame tricks are over now? If that's the type posts one wishes to indulge in there are many places that are not so hot on facts, that do love that magic and where such nonsense is acceptable and invited. This not one of them.
