The talking point is your favorite cannonball about the tight quote of Mitch which is taken out of context.
Huh? Okay, since it's my favorite, show me other times that I've used it. Maybe just one more. I brought it up because this thread reminded me of it. The only other time I've ever mentioned it was when I refuted the initial quote because after doing some minor research it became extremely obvious how deceptive the quote was.
you seem to have it polished well
Oh yeah, I talk about it every day. I have an entire notepad about the issue, which I'm obsessed with. I spent every waking hour thinking about the McConnell quote. It's really my entire life.
but it doesn't fit this cannon.
Sure, it's an easily falsifiable lie which a large group of people choose to believe.
A better match for mitch is Sherrod.
I still don't know what that is, likely because it's not referenced repeatedly by people like the McConnell one is. I don't even know who Sherrod is.
Not all lies are the same. Mitch and Sherrod are out of context lies. The spam email is an outright fabrication.
The narrative created by the McConnel quote is a fabrication. You're grasping at straws, for seemingly no reason.
Both Mitch and Sherrod said the words in the quotes, the state senator has always had a B or better NRA rating, he is not virulent anti-'gun'.
McConnel never said making Obama a one-term president was his only goal, that is a lie that is fabricated by the people who continuously quote it. If you can't see the parallels between the two then I can't help you.
See the difference. examples should be a bit tighter to be used as models. now for the spam email crap about the state senator something like the email going around claiming President Obama is a Muslim would work. Those are total fabrications vs taking what was said out of context.
I get it. You can't stand that people on your side engage in an activity you don't like. I'm sorry, but it's the same in the relevant context. It being spam email is not relevant, it's grasping at straws because you want to make this a right-wing issue. The OP wasn't even a spam email, it was some guy's site.
I didn't wish to imply the 2nd Amendment makes sane men crazy. I too believe in the right to keep and bear. I do keep and bear. But there is a distinct pro 2nd A cliche here that is almost as rabid as a skunk walking down Main Street at high noon. These 'X-spurts' rise to the bait without a second thought and start whipping out 'elite' this and hypocrite that...
Do you think those who push to take away your right to self defense will willingly give up their private security teams on the same ethic?
Now here we disagree- I'd say few 'in power' are against self defense, but self defense doesn't include the arsenal some of the more , ummm let's just call them ardent 2nd A promoters, claim they want/need/desire for self defense.
You can't arbitrarily restrict the 2nd amendment and reasonably call it a right. It has nothing to do with "needing" certain weapons, it has to do with justifying taking them away. What's a right if you can't at least expect a rational justification for it's restrictions? We may as well say "You don't NEED anti-American speech for the first amendment. Now, I'm a pro-first amendment person. I say political things like 'god bless the USA' all the time, but I don't agree with these nuts who say you have to be able to disagree with me in order to have free speech! There's still some things you can say!"
But again this isn't about the 2nd A debate but rather a classic spam lie brought in here without the OP checking for accuracy and the knee jerk response from a few 'x-spurts'. I understand the 'they do it too' spin to deflect, but tell ya what, when a 'gun' grabber brings a complete lie spam email in - have at 'em Sir, have at 'em!
eace
Well, I already presented an example that applies to the other side. You grasp at straws to refute it, saying it only counts if its a spam email. I can point to plenty of lies the pro-gun control people constantly go to, such as the notion that America has the highest crime rate of the 1st world, but that doesn't matter I guess because it wasn't EMAILED to them. Or maybe it was. I don't know. I don't get a lot of political spam.
