"You did not ask for an entire manuscript". Quite right. But there is such a thing as context. I did ask for a CLEAR quote. In context, which I'm very sorry to tell you, does matter, yours is not clear.

By way of illustration:

Is Dickey an amazingly credulous right-wing fool who has not the foggiest notion how propaganda works, and should know better than to joust with his clear intellectual superiors---who can and do ridicule him at every opportunity and slash his feeble arguments to ribbons effortlessly?

1) No, you're completely wrong.

2) I can't make that claim. The one thing I would say, however, is that we have never yet seen him make an argument which any rational person would accept. Because, you know, it appears Dickey has just a passing acquaintance with a dictionary, has just discovered how a calendar works, and parrots uncritically the current Bushite line--whatever it happens to be. And he seems to think that he can take a statement out of context and never be challenged by his debate opponents.



Now, Dickey, please tell me. Which of the above is the stronger denial?
