Another Swiftie lie gets shot down (this one's for you, Sam Stone)

Liberal: If it is a doctor who sprays the Bactine, puts on the bandaid, and soaks your arm in epsom salts, you could call it medical treatment. So then, I’m sure you would say that when Bush sat still for five minutes at the elementary school, he was being presidential.

False analogy. To say that when a doctor treats an injury, it’s “medical treatment”, is not to say that anything a doctor does is therefore “medical treatment”.

I’m a little surprised Lib, you are usually much sharper about logic than that.

But according to the 9/11 Commission Report, the president was thinking about the situation and assessing options while attempting to maintain an appearance of calm — things a president does in the course of his duty. Therefore, the analogy is not false, and it is your own logic that is dull.

Bazing! “It is your own logic that is dull”, brilliant. Been taking repartee lessons from Dr Spock again, have we?

Ya, sure.

Ya, sure.

Hey I’ve had time to learn it is called “lurking” right
And I know ALL about you Brutus…

Not really. My daughter wasn’t allowed to draw on the wall with crayons.

I have no doubt that you have been around this board for a while. ‘Lurking’, however? Like I said: Ya, sure.

If you have suspicions about a poster, cut out the vague insinuations and e-mail a Moderator or Administrator.

Do his leadership methods normally involve reading children’s stories?

Interesting theory…

You’ve heard the one about the fire consuming GWB’s Presidential Library, yes?

If so, you should be able to answer your own qestion:D

I would think so, unless it’s the one written by James Carville.

The same thing that happened to the library at Texas A&M?

[Homebrew]

@ElvisL1ves

The same thing that happened to the library at Texas A&M?

Which one? The Evans Library* or the Bush (the first) Presidential Library?

*Back in my days at the school, it was such a great library that the University scheduled regular bus trips to Austin so students could use the library at t.u.

@Scylla

The first time I heard the Rasmussen story…

Kerry rescued a pollster? No wonder they’re so confounding!

…was when Kerry told it during the convention.

He did?

[ElvisL1ves]

Um, dude, that’s “Rassman”. Odd that someone who claims such devotion to the facts would get that wrong. Not odd that someone who was living in FreeRepublic would fail to come across anything positive about Kerry, though.

BES: If you’re including my post (“why would even a bandage be called for”) as part of that carping, it wasn’t meant that way.

I know Biff, I should have made myself more clear.

Ah, now I get it, thank you. I keep forgetting your tendency to explicitly post about half of the point you’re trying to make and leave the rest to be divined telepathically.

I’ve color-coded the irony for you.

[Kimstu]

Lib honey, at least when I’m accidentally too obscure for people to understand me, I apologize for it. You seem to take pride in it!

[elucidator]

You simply must eschew obfuscatory sesquipedallianism!
