Not my bad if you can't differentiate. Maybe read it again before you make that leap to a conclusion? Just a suggestion.(09-29-2016, 10:35 AM)Blindgreed1 Wrote: I never claimed a liberal wrote it. If you assumed as much that's on you. I don't really care what side of the isle the author sits on, there were some very good points in the piece which as you say above you even agree on so just appreciate it for what it is and get over your link obsession.
Did you read the first sentence of what you copied and pasted where it says the writer worked for a typically "left wing" publication, which equates to 'liberal or socialist" leaning?
I don't appreciate lazy-mindedness and lies, especially from people who constantly argue against proven facts and logic and propagate obvious bullshit (whether it's linked or not), Gunnar. Sometimes I'll set the record straight because it's not hard to do.
The points that I said made some sense in the piece were ones we and many others have expressed multiple times as well, but it was Fredrick who authored that well-written piece and it didn't take more than a couple of seconds to confirm that fact (without Snopes) and give him appropriate credit. You get credit for being the sucker, once again, who got reeled in and then spread a hoax claim that you liked. I can tolerate that easily, but it's not something I appreciate.
