I accused you of nothing. I merely asked a question:

I really wanted to know, and I still do.

Right…you grab a pic taken in the middle of a motion and compare it to a video that shows the whole thing.

Par for the course I guess.

By OP is was refering to the post, not the poster.  
C’mon, you have to admit that your OP was virtually barren of any content, it was just like “hey, Bush did something weird!”

Two answers:

1. One hell of a lot more knowledge, experience and ability regarding politics than your sorry ass.

2. A shining example that all opinions are **not** created equal

Your choice, really.

True, true – but you gotta admit, the first frisson of association is a doozy.

And I suppose that your opinion is the one by which the merit of all other opinions are measured?

A new standard argument tactic. Use 80% of your posts to say something along the lines of, “Oh, well since your opinion is different I won’t argue mine, I’ll just make a childish remark about how much better you are than everyone else.”

Of course, **Milkman** , being right in everything on everything means the lot of us are fortunate to have him here to enlighten and inspire us all.
