Tammy Bruce
this page is still UNFINISHED.  Making pages like this has little reward, and I often "burn out".
  If anyone reading this knows of any lie about Tammy Bruce that has been used to unfairly defame her, please contact me.  I wish to also expose lies that unfairly damage her reputation.
     Tammy Bruce seems to be imitating Ann Coulter.  Coulter's books have been reaching best-seller lists, and the top of such lists.  Tammy Bruce's rhetoric is extremely similar.
      In her newest book (published in 2003) The Death of Right and Wrong, the same dirty tactics used by Coulter are in full force, unfairly defaming dozens of individuals and groups.
      Here is an example I found yesterday (9-Aug-2003):  on page 18 of The Death of Right and Wrong she has a list of seven "beliefs" she claims are held by the typical person of "the left".  This is one that is typical for how bizarre it is:
     Murdering 3,000 Americans isn't terrorism if the murderers are Muslims -- it's the Freedom Fighters' heroic last act against an oppressor.
     None of the seven claims are quotes.  Instead, all the words are words originating from Bruce herself.  Because of this, each of the eight "beliefs" potentially isn't really a belief at all, in the sense of a belief being an idea of some kind held by an actual, living human being. 
      If the seven claims listed were quotes of other people, then assuming that

      (1) the quotes were accurate,
      (2) the quoted person was not lying -- misrepresenting their own beliefs, and
      (3) the person had not changed their thinking since the time they expressed the words to others,

       then readers would be assured that at least one person on earth believed each of the seven claims.
     But all Bruce gives in this list are claims stated by her.  This is what Coulter also does, repeatedly, throughout her books.
     When an author fails to quote claims being attributed to others, an extra burden is necessarily assigned to the author: the author must clearly show that the words of the claim they wrote are necessarily implied by either the actions or the words of the person/group the author is attributing the claim to.
     Regarding this example, Bruce doesn't even try to show that the claim necessarily follows from actions or words of "the left".  I carefully and thoroughly read all pages for all the index entries relating to the subject matter of this quote.  These were the subjects and pages I checked:
   
Freedom Fighters: (no index entry)
Islam: pages 18, 24, 129-132
Muslims. (no index entry: one is there but it says only "See Islam.")
Muslim Student Association: pages 175, 176
Sep. 11. pages 159-160, 165-169
terrorism: (no index entry)

    None of these pages gives any evidence at all to support her claim on page 18 that the above-written claim is believed by anyone of "the left".  Page 160 is the only one of the pages that presents actual quotes that express claims with some relevance to the claim on 18 quoted above.  On that page she gives four quotes from US university professors.  None of the quotes says anything at all about the Sep. 11 deaths not being terrorism.
