Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
The matter was discussed in a number of places…Salon, Talking Points Memo, Washington Monthly… Certainly liberaly oriented, to be sure, but hardly rabidly partisan. If these sources have long standing records of mendacity, records that can be compared to sources that you have offered on these pages as substantiation, you will have no problem proving it.
Did you even read the link I provided for clarification? If you had, you would be aware that the difference is very slight indeed. Mr. Cox relied upon a Fox News release, which he embellished to his own purposes. Point of fact, he was even more a liar than he was originally reported to be, as he distorted the very source he relied upon. Ms. Goldbergs veracity or lack thereof has no bearing on his own, however much you may wish it so.
When, oh, when will you cease to misrepresent and mischaracterize my posts! Your skepticism was advanced before you knew anything at all about the matter, you posited it in pristine ignorance of the circumstances. What do you expect, accolades for your biases?
Yes. But, you will recall, my original question was more in terms of belief in the face of fact. Clearly, anyone who believed what he said was not a member of the reality-based community. It was your suggestion, was it not, that his words were merely blowing smoke up one another’s ass? And therefore harmless and silly, not like the dreadful demogoguery of the Evil Dean.
Misquoted, yes, perhaps. He says he was misquoted. But, truth be known, if the clarification offered is closer to the fact, it is far worse! I should have been more pleased to have that to offer, since the “perfume poison” plot is pretty near the silliest thing I’ve heard from a Republican orifice in…well, several days at least.
Hmmm. Is there any distinction between an observation and a thesis? Didn’t you yourself, as noted above, call it bullshit? Hence, is it not your thesis as well?
As noted above, you pointed out precisely the opposite.
He did. You said so yourself. If I cannot look to Scylla as my paragon of truth, were can I look?
Nope. The man’s a liar and a poltroon, it simply isn’t possible to malign such as he.
When the subject is hypocrisy, I must bow to your expertise. But what did I “make up”?
I much prefer clarity and truth. It works to my advantage.
And bravely he did bugger off!
Brave, brave, brave Sir Scylla!
