Thread Name: BS: Lets play blame the conservative
Subject: RE: BS: Lets play blame the conservative
bruce...you are chewing to DEATH a minor point, that she 'denied' using some word she actually did use....then you twist that to suggest 'rich liberals' get fairer press than...someone..
"She can lie, and noone cares"...she did not 'lie'...her words were distorted and she was correcting his distortion. There is NO evidence that she was consciously trying to disavow her recent remarks..only to correct HIS mistake.

to repeat:
"you ignored MY point, which was that the reporter was TROLLING for controversy, and trying to make Heinz defend something she had not meant...and probably did not remember the exact words she had used. Should she have have been quicker on the uptake and asked the reporter, "did I really use those exact words? I could have chosen better--surely you don't think I meant THAT!"...yep, I guess he should have...but in this case, the reporters motives were a bit clearer than Teresa's.

" if this had been a Republican candiudate's wife, there would still be headlines and screaming going on"...piffle! Rank speculation which violates several rules of argument.

c'mon, Bruce...if you want to be conservative, that's not illegal, but don't paint everything Democrats do or say with that broad brush!
