No, Bobert.

He excluded specifically the estimates, for reasons he gave.

He is right, you are wrong IN THIS CASE.

To continue to argue when you have been caught in a falsehood devalues what ever else you might say, even when it is worth hearing.

I seem to recall someone saying
"I mean, these morons must think that everyone out there is as dumb as they are to believe that utter crap... I don't even read folks crap that begin that way because if the first 4 or 5 words are an out right lie than I know what is going to follow...

...... Just don't bullshit me with lies right out of the gate... It's insulting to anyone with an IQ greater than that of a box of animal crackers..."


So YOU need to watch the fast and loose way you make claims as to facts.

There were NOT more Palestinian refugees in 1948 than the entire population of Mandate Palestine.
Because YOU see a picture that YOU don't see minorities in, a group is not racist- it was pointed out that 40% of those on the stage WERE black.

The OWS have been shown with people with M-16s, yet you make claims for them being peaceful-the opposite of the tea party- without knowing what you are talking about, it seems from your standard rants- they are no more OR less peaceful than the Tea Party.

As long as you insist on one set of rules for those you agree with, and another for those you oppose, even your good points are made to look unreasonable.

Since your standard method of replying to a request for facts is to call someone racist, or blame the right wing for the faults of the world, you have lost a lot of credibility that your experience and knowledge would otherwise entitle you to.
