The Right’s Library of Fake Quotes

[chri'stina 190]

Danno, pointing out things like "where are the leftwing misquotes" in a thread about rightwing misquotes is typical. You know why there aren't any in the thread. You need to work on better rebuttals because yours do not work. How about first accepting that these quotes are misused by some rightwing people? And admit it's a shame. I will. That doesn't mean you misuse them or every rightwing person does, even if some want it to seem that way.

And then of course people pull out the "you have no comprehension skills". I don't think it's an issue of comprehension. It's an issue of stubbornly supporting views on both sides.

Such a long post and I did not see even one example of someone on the LEFT misquoting something..... wow you guys are so dilligent and honest, can I join your team?

While unicorns are magical, they are not the most magical creatures in the forest: those would be gnomes.

Danno: "I notice you didn't spend any time talking about how magical unicorns are. Typical gnome-wing b*llsh*t."

World: "..."

How can it not be comprehension? The article is clear, the premise is clear as well, yet Danno, ignores it and plows ahead with his own ideas. He does not possess the requisite critical thinking to actually refute, or respond.

I feel like people can comprehend something and yet still purposely post something that doesn't refute the topic, just to be argumentative.

Its called deflecting and its generally used when they have no argument regarding the topic at hand.

That would never happen here.

It's more like... Misquoting quotes, is a past-time of the left as well as the Right, most of the time offenders are mistaken rather than deliberately passing on bogus quotes.

But that's not the topic. Sure both sides pass on bogus quotes occasionally. This topic is about the foundation of a political philosophy on false quotes.

Which is something that happens unfortunately more for the Right's advantage when its support base readily ignores fact. I wish all conservatives would be like cri'stina. Then a more rational debate could be had on philosophy based on ideals rather than on fallacies.
