Where's the bogus claim?

I forgot to mention that I voted for Ralph Nader in the last election, I
guess?

Op

I don't see what difference that makes, but good for you.

So did I. Calling out that someone is using Clintonian
wordplay to claim they didn't say what they said doesn't
make me some republican.


If something looks like political doodoo, then we're apt to take it as
political doodoo.

Saying 'doublespeak' or some politically neutral word would have kept
you from stepping in that particular error.

I don't see that anywhere in this thread that you quoted that you
answered as to what the supposed bogus claim was. Which tends to pop
right into the political method of ignoring the question. And that
could easily be attributed to a lot of modern politicians. However,
it's been going on as far as records have been kept, so it's better if
I avoid names.

I seem to vaguely remember that you claimed Opie said something that
my reading didn't support as a reasonable way to take his post. But
if you tend to do that a lot here, various nasty people will take you
to task for it.

I explained how I read his statement and the original target asked Opie
to explain what he meant if it wasn't how it sounded. Opie's only
response was to call me names.

Rather than continue to speculate on what Opie actually meant I felt
it was better to let him explain himself. Unless I missed it he hasn't
responded yet.
