The word "rhetoric" has a negative connotation in the modern discussion. It is portrayed to be intellectually dishonest and deceiving. The irony is that dishonest rhetoric in the form of lies is most frequently used by the left to shock and scare the gullible and sentimental.
In this case such "rhetoric", if we could even call it that, transforms itself into essentially libel. The first case I would like to bring forward is of leftist magazine "Slate". The article below was an infuriating read for me when I found it.
Very interestingly, Slate chooses NOT to cite its sources on the wild accusation that the Iron Guard "drank blood" in some occult initiation ceremony.
If one reads the whole article they find statements towards the end backed by sources. Unfortunately, they're boring statistics, only placed there to give the article an air of academia and reputability. The deception here is plainly seen, and it's disgusting.
In another instance the same accusation is brought about by the SPLC.
SPLC decides in this article to hyperlink sources, yet no hyperlink is found for this accusation against the Iron Guard. Once again, disgusting trickery.
Such falsehoods must be exposed, so that those of more gullible tendencies don't have this false idea about the Iron Guard placed in their head.
The Iron Guard was an Orthodox Christian organisation!
