Trying "ti" deflect - lol!!! Feel that blood pressure go up.


Provide proof that the daily caller falsified his quote. ,,,
...

Oh, dear, it seems a nerve has been struck...


So, you start out by nitpicking "ti" instead of "to"; aside from it being a minuscule typo, I must also note the spell checker didn't highlight it since "ti" is an actual word, so I didn't catch it in proofing; it should also be pointed out I have, in the past made note of my dyslexia, and, due to a worsening medical condition, I am having difficulty with my hands, so, yes, I do make an occasional error, as we all, except of course, you...


Oh, wait!... this just in...:

I was curious and found that out for myself that they had quoted him verbatim. It took a few seconds to prove that your attempt to discredit the Daily Caller was specious. Of course, I admit the guy in the video could be an imposter, due to evil evil Right-Winginess, or some such thing.

Apparently your "Daily Caller" is, by your metric, a serious flaw: the name of the website The Daily Wire, not The Daily Caller, an error you made three (3) times in the above quote; I just missed a letter, but you, apparently are either negligently inattentive, deliberately dense, or reckless in argument...

Then there is the "intended to imply"; how do you know if I was even implying anything? you're grasping at very slippery straws with tiny little hands...

Show me where I at anytime explicitly said The Daily Wire falsified the quote; I dare you to prove that lie...

Show me where I said the Daily Wire (pls note its Wire... ) was wrong because they are right wing; the cite I gave pointed out how The Daily Wire has a track record of 'reporting' inaccurate, unsubstantiated, and, sometimes false 'information'; my cite shows The Daily Wire could be suspect and has been proven to be suspect not because they are right-wing or left-wing or chicken-wing, but because it has a proven track record of false and misleading 'reportage'...

I am not the person(s) or organizations calling The Daily Wire to task; there are others out there who have made those assertions and I simply cited one source; the fact is, The Daily Caller has been caught out on several occasions playing fast and loose with the facts and/or the truth; after researching about The Daily Wire, I am inclined to agree with that assessment and note The Daily Wire needs no outside reference to be subject to discredit since they are doing such a fine job on themselves on their own...

It took only a few seconds (interspersed with my laughter) to prove the speciousness of your claims about my stance...

For that reason I'm not going to bother arguing whether Wikipedia/Snopes are biased. IMHO all news, whether good/bad/Commie/Left/Right/whatever is biased, and we humans tend to like having our biases confirmed.

...

Excuse me: did I, at any time, explicitly say or claim you said the The Daily Wire (that makes four (4) times you said Caller; just wanted to be accurate... ) was unbiased; in fact no one has claimed The Daily Wire was unbiased, so that seems to be a bit of a stumper as to why you are even bring it up...

..and if you acknowledge it may be biased, there is all the more reason it, like any other source, should be called to question...

Likewise, I have never said any news source is unbiased; I just try to recognize and acknowledge the bias, ignoring it to see if there is any fact or substance to the reportage; I don't like the idea of blind faith in anything or in persons I have little to no knowledge or experience of...

Yes, every person tends to like to have their biases confirmed or appear to be confirmed; but, if that confirmation is at the expense of provable fact or knowledge, then the bias is merely opinion...

" opinion is not always fact and thought is not always reality" Unless you're Vienna because Vienna says so.

Now, I really got a belly laugh out of that part. People challenge me all the time; several people here in these forums challenge what I post and I respect a very goodly number of them, particularly when they can articulate their views and offer cites to back them up; I may not agree with them all the time, but I don't get angry at being challenged, in fact, I welcome a good discussion and have sometimes learned things I might have not otherwise; I try to keep an open mind about things and I far from believe only I am always right; I've got a whole lot of ex's who have conditioned me to accept the impossibility of my infallibility...

My opinions are just that opinions and only time and facts will tell if they are right or wrong and I don't begrudge anyone else their own, sometimes contrary opinions...

Just don't try to feed me Spam and try to tell me its Porterhouse steak...

Don't feign amusement when you're actually angry. You're just harming yourself. I wouldn't want that.

Again, you seem to be very upset, based on your last reply. Sorry about that, so go ahead & keep up with the posts about Right Wingers (what are those, anyway?) if you need catharsis.

Oh, and I was choosing to make your resentment of this guy and his opinion an issue. I can if I want to. It's just a turn the conversation took. Sorry, but that's the truth.

Oh, please stop!! My ribs are hurting from all the laughing!!...

Its funny to have a guy who, in the space of about 15 minutes, felt a compelling need to post twice, consecutively, to express his opinion that someone else was angry and upset; I had actually thought the whole matter was done as we had both expressed our opinions and there seemed to be no middle ground; I actually logged on to SubSim to post to the Music Thread and noticed there was a new post (or, posts,as it tuned out) in this thread and just clicked in out of curiosity...

Don't feign that you have clairvoyant powers and can 'see' or sense' my moods or intentions; I was laughing the whole time I was writing that last post of mine because your argument(s) was/were so laughable, as are you with your 'knowledge' of me; I kind of figured you might get a bit wound up, but you certainly exceeded probable expectations...

I'm not angry just genuinely amused at how ludicrous and predictable your argument in favor of a crack dealer/rapper truly was at its fundament and how it was a laughable attempt at deflection away from my original point that both the 'news source', the Daily Wire and the person they chose to bolster their 'facts' are of highly dubious veracity; the fact that you are unable to address the point(s) I actually made and chose, instead, to set up a free speech straw man and feign indignation that someone would dare to doubt the word of a criminal crack dealer shows how weak and pathetic your attempts are...

If you want to take the word of a criminal drug pusher and/or a news website with a dubious track record, go for it; I don't really care...

However, you really are quite amusing...


...oh, and don't be concerned about my blood pressure: its just fine and stable. How do I know?...


...Vienna says so...
