I Stand Corrected

















I originally thought this was Mitt Romney getting a shoeshine but, thanks to Guard Duck, I was wrong. Romney is actually getting wanded by TSA, according to Snopes. I stand corrected, once again.

I'm still waiting, though, for admissions of fault on this one, however. I wonder how much longer I'm going to have to wait...

What, that Romney has to get checked before boarding a airplane like the rest of us?

Are you such a dumbass fuckstick that you don't bother to do a cursory check on the facts before you post something that so obviously fits with your preconceived worldview?

Perhaps I could link you to a few pieces by the onion and see how gullible you really are.

GuardDuck said...

Which fault Mark?

Mark Ward said...

To quote the factcheck link

"The 16 claims in a widely distributed graphic are mostly false or distorted."

GuardDuck said...

Awesome quote....

But again - who are you expecting to admit fault to what?

Mark Ward said...

Well, you and Kevin would be a nice start.

GuardDuck said...

Cool story bro, tell me more............................


Perhaps you could ask Kevin - I don't think he wastes time reading here.


Then maybe you could answer the other - integral - part of my earlier question.

WHAT?


You have some sort of actual quote you are referencing I assume? Something that you didn't take out of context or create your own strawman?

Otherwise you are just talking out of your ass.

Mark Ward said...

Well, GD, I've been told that when I relate the words of others that I "create straw men" so I figured I'd give you a chance to admit your error in defending the graphic. Oh well...

Really? Two of the sixteen not true (and there is debate about those as well), and you think the list is dishonest?

GuardDuck said...

BZZZZZT!

Wrong answer!

Taken out of context.

Try again.

Mark Ward said...

Alright, GD, enough of the adolescent games. In the image I linked above, which statements are you now willing to admit are false? I admitted that the one in this post was false. Your turn.

GuardDuck said...

No games? That applies to you too.

Start by not asking 'are you still beating your wife' type questions.

You think I said something false and want me to admit I was wrong. You need to tell me what I said that was false if you expect me to admit to the error.

Mark Ward said...

You said that two of the sixteen statements in the photo were not true and that even those were debatable. That implies that you think the other fourteen are true but I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. Which of the other fourteen do you think are true and which do you think are false? And why do you think those two are debatable? Go point by point, now that you have the FactCheck link, admit your errors.

GuardDuck said...

And I told you that you took that quote out of context....

Despite your reply that I was playing games, that statement stands. Not only that - but I already explained your lack of context for this particular quote several months ago. Yet you are still stuck on stupid.

Let me repeat for the reading impaired. You are taking that statement out of context and it does not imply what you are thinking it does.


(Not to mention that you then follow that up by twisting the words you quoted not four posts previously. Saying "there is debate about those" is not the same as saying I think those are debatable.

Really Mark, if you twist meanings that easily you should go read that thread again (and the related one where I explained your lack of context) before you start throwing out accusations. The more likely case is another example of your own inability to read, comprehend and understand.

Mark Ward said...

And yet you still haven't answered my questions thus proving my point that the Right simply can't admit when they are wrong. It's the end of the fucking universe. I just did in this thread and it wasn't a big deal for me. Why can't you?

Point by point, Guard Duck....all 16 of them. Which ones are true and which ones are false? Or are you that desperate to cling to your fictional Obama?

GuardDuck said...

Mark are you that fucking dumb?


IF I DIDN'T EVER FUCKING SAY THAT ANY OF THE POINTS ARE TRUE - THEN I CANNOT ADMIT TO THEM BEING FALSE.

You are demanding that I admit to being wrong about something I never said.

Can't you understand that?


No, you can't. You think I am proving your point, but you are really just showing yourself to be a dumbass fuckstick.
