TALL TALES ABOUT TUSKEGEE by Jonah Goldberg

In this article Goldberg exposes the lie that blacks were "infected" with syphilis for the Tuskegee experiment.

Of equal or greater importance, Goldberg provides the "big government-black complicity" context for this experiment that began in 1932 (the same year FDR's NEW DEAL was embraced by U.S. voters).

This penultimate paragraph is particularly significant:

"Liberals like to invoke Tuskegee as if it’s solely an indictment of what other people did, proof that we need more progressive government. But Tuskegee was in fact the poisoned fruit of progressive government."
