<<Hey, makes perfect sense. You ignore McCain's (or anyone else's) clarifications to what's reasonably clear to begin with, from what they've said . . . >>
Really? You really believe that it was reasonably clear that when McCain said, "The fundamentals of the American economy are strong," he meant that only the American WORKER was "strong?"
You are a bullshitter, my friend. That is just plain BS and you know it.
<< . . . but with the proper distortion, claim something totally outrageous>>
Huh? So it's "totally outrageous" to claim that when McCain said "The fundamentals of our economy are strong," he meant exactly what he said, "The fundamentals of our economy are strong?" It is now outrageous to claim that a man means what a man says?
Well, I am sorry, sirs, but I can't see anything even remotely outrageous, let alone "totally outrageous " in that . And BTW, exactly WHAT did I have to "distort" to get from the words ("The fundamentals of our economy are strong") to the alleged meaning of the words (The fundamentals of our economy are strong?") Where exactly is the distortion?
<< . . . and then claim they're then lying, when clarity is added>>
Well, obviously, he WAS lying. And he wasn't adding clarity, he was creating a whole new meaning for his words which no one had previously suspected, which context did not justify, and which is, frankly, quite unbelievable.
<< . . . based on your already hyperbolic bias>>
Uh, NO, sirs. Based on the plain and simple meaning of McCain's words. As I have told you many times, sirs, words have meaning. This is something which you seem to be constitutionally unable to grasp, but whether you get it or not, that is just a fact of life. Words mean what they say, unless intended as sarcasm or irony (which McCain has never suggested was the case) and you are stuck with the meaning of McCain's words. "The fundamentals of our economy are strong" still means "The fundamentals of our economy are strong" and totally different words are used to indicate that the American worker is strong.
<<But you yourself have free reign to clarify anything you've said . . .>>
sirs, EVERYBODY has free rein to clarify anything they said. But that doesn't mean some fundamentally dishonest people won't abuse that free rein. So when someone tells me that "the fundamentals are strong" and then later, after the roof falls in, THEN tells me, "Oh, I meant that the American worker was strong," well then you gotta weigh it all up and decide, is this guy telling me the truth or is this guy bullshitting me? The fact that everyone has free rein to clarify anything previously said does NOT mean that everyone who claims to be clarifying isn't really just bullshitting you, taking back something he said before because it's making him look stupid.
<<Note the neat little hypocritical double standard you've constructed?>>
No, I don't. Neither do you.
<<SOP, so I'm not surprised, in the least. You apply it to all your racist rhetoric as well>>
Not only are you not fooling anyone, sirs, you are beginning to bore me.
