ok, i googled SI, did a search of their website and found the article.
 i'm pretty sure it's the one paul roberts is referring to.  it dates
from 13 March of this year, so wonder whether it isn't another
exercise entirely from the one i heard about.  it was over a year ago,
sometime in 2007 i think.  you make a good point about liberal big
lies.  it's something i've given some thought to.  clearly they must
exist (though, in the u.s.a., there are certain semantic issues with
the category left/liberal, rather more so than with
right/conservative).  they're very hard to pin down, though.  i mean,
there's the gulf of tonkin (for example), which was lbj's baby.  so
technically it qualifies as a liberal big lie, i guess?  at least by
one definition of the word.  yet there were large numbers of liberals
who opposed the war.  i tend to think that the closest equivalent to
the bush/cheney/rumsfeld et al big lie, in terms of scope and apparent
untarnishability, might be the jfk myth.  anyway, try the following
