[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"The info that Jay posted did not come from the original link left by Veers. So unless I'm a psychic I had no way of reading that info."</blockquote> That's funny, because I'm not psychic, and I had read about those things long before Jay ever posted them. You come in here and tell us how not-horrible the things going on in Iraq are, and yet you obviously haven't even been keeping up with what [i]is[/i] going on. <blockquote>"You have taken what I've said and pulled it out of context using exaggeration just like I did with your comments."</blockquote> Well, there's a difference. What I did was exaggeration. Specifically, sarcasm. What you did was to take something I said, and then claim I said something different. Which is called, I believe, "lying". See, I addressed the fact that many of the right wing assholes out there are making the arguement "our soldiers can do anything they want, so long as someone else somewhere has done worse". And I asked whether that meant that they would only criticize the soldiers [i]if[/i] they become worse than Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot combined. Note that this was presented as a hypothetical future situation. Therefore, not a condition that exists at this time. You, subsequently, accused me of claiming that the soldiers' [i]current[/i] acts of torture [i]are already[/i] comparable to those of the aforementioned baddies. That's precisely the m.o. of these clowns like Limbaugh [i]et al.[/i] Take a few elements of something your opponent said, restructure them into something much worse but with a completely different meaning, and pass it off as what he originally said. And then, when he corrects you, act all offended and abandon the conversation. [/QB][/QUOTE]
