The New Art of Inventing Gaffes

Here's the video of Lieberman giving Obama a good smack on Fox. Jane Hamsher, instead of putting the man in blackface, decides to just insert an error in her transcript of the interview. She quotes Lieberman:

If we did what Sen. Obama wanted us to do last year, Al-Qaeda in Iran would be in control of Iraq today. The whole Middle East would be in turmoil and American security and credibility would be jeopardized.

Assorted hacks use Hamsher's dishonesty to pretend that Lieberman has just indicted a fictitious group called "Al Qaeda in Iran." Listen to the tape...Lieberman said "al Qaeda and Iran." Are they deaf or dumb?
