The coffin coming off the plane IS the DEAD SOLDIER

The Coffin coming off the plane contains the dead soldier.

It is no more the dead soldier than the plane carrying the coffin is the dead soldier.

Is this Pavlich an intern at Townhall or what? I mean how hard is it to get something this simple right?


It's actually quite easy, when you remove the predisposed bias.  But by all means, continue to entertain this inferred fantasy, and ignore the far bigger point being made

What bias. She got it wrong. Simple as that.


As far as the bigger issue, i'm agnostic about showing the photos. Don't know what good it would do. Doubt about OBLs death is already raised. Would photos add to the fire?

I know some would love to have had his body brought back stateside so folks could parade around with his head on a pike at ground zero and then maybe do a bunch of high fives and then get drunk but i don't know what good that would do either.

What did we do with Tojo?

She got it wrong, based on your erroneous conclusion of what you believed she meant.  Since that's not what she inferred, its you that got it wrong

Now, we return to our originally scheduled programming......that of the bigger issue.  I already explained what "good it would do", but I would welcome Miss Henny's thoughts on that assessment.  And BTW, I'm also on record as having no problem with his being dumped in the sea

What did we do with Bonnie & Clyde?

Sorry no error on my part. If you want to make her error yours, that would be your choice.

Sorry, your attempt to take her comments out of context was your choice, & is what put the nail into your biased error

Now, back to our regularly scheduled issue

Interesting. I quote her in context and somehow that is proof positive of my bias. But I am curious how taking photos of our dead troops means anything other than taking photos of our dead troops. Perhaps its some new fangled linguistics thing that i am unaware of.

Kinda like changing the subject when you choose the wrong side in a debate.

No, you quoted her OUT OF CONTEXT, with your initial "conclusion".  It was only when I referenced the full context, that you started the semantic back pedaling, and now the persevering on it, to steer away from the far more pressing issue put forth

You got it wrong.  Simple as that.  If you wish to continue to vacillate on your error, that's your choice.  Call it whatever you want.  Ooo, you can even call it changing the subject when you choose the wrong side in a debate.  Oh wait, you already tried that tact.  Oh well, you'll think of something.  You're a smart fella

Prove bias.

Actually i quoted her completely in context.

The context of Obama not showing a bloodied and dead Osama vs being willing to show photos of dead soldiers. That was her context as she upped the ante a bit to get that apples to apples thing going when what Obama did approve was photographing caskets as they came onto the tarmac as the surrounding paragraphs clearly showed.

No mention of a shrouded beatified Osama as you tried to slip in in your follow up response.

She played with words. I caught it and called her on it. You choose to defend her and make her error yours so I'll call you on it too.

No biggie, no bias, it is what it is.

NO, you didn't.  But I was right, you did think of something else.  Oh wait, no, you actually are trying to pull the same semantic stunt.  I guess I was wrong

Apparently just needing to set the record straight.  But hey, my apologies, by all means, you may have the last dig

How gracious. Course you are also wrong about Pavliks menaing in paragraph two of her lil ole diatribe.

Perhaps she should intern for newsmax.
