Prosecutors to retry one of ‘Dallas Six’ charged in prison riot

<p>Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton recently smacked down a heckler, telling him, &#8220;You&#8217;re entitled to your own opinion, but you&#8217;re not entitled to your own facts.&#8221;</p><p>It was a cute line, but she immediately undermined it by presenting her own opinions as if they were Gospel facts, which they weren&#8217;t. So she did exactly what she&#8217;d just accused her heckler of doing.</p><p>This is a variation of a tactic she learned from Saul Alinsky: When you&#8217;re backed into a logical or ethical corner, you get out by accusing the accuser. In this case, the heckler had caught her in a lie, so she accused the heckler of being a liar.</p><p>But how many people does she think she&#8217;s fooling? We&#8217;ve seen her use these kinds of tactics again and again, so often they seem worn and threadbare.</p><p>Her veil of deception is as transparent as she is.</p><p><strong>Mark Fritz</strong></p><p>Bloomsburg</p><style>
