I did not say he had to defend anything. However, "lie, prevaricate, equivocate, palter, fib mean to tell an untruth." That being said, I would expect educated people to be respectful of the dead, but apparently that is not part of the liberal mantra. To wit, this thread!
I think that I have properly stirred the hornet's nest of Right-wing indignation and double standards to the degree I was hoping for. Thank you all for playing. If only these guys had demonstrated the same indignation for Breitbart's lies that they have demonstrated here for my little subterfuge they might actually have a leg to stand on. They don't. Do they even know when they are being played? Apparently not.
Did he alter & manipulate a video or did he just expose ACORN, Sherrod & Weiner for what they are (were)?
If you enjoy making fun of someone's death, that's your prerogative. But, I think it says more about you than you may realize.
Reported. Simply disgusted. Moen, whenever I begin to expect better from you, I am inevitably disappointed.
Sen John McCain is not an American citizen. The preceding statement is a lie. Since I have posted a lie and acknowledged it as such I am to your way of thinking in violation of the Terms of Service. You now need to report me as well. Good luck with that.
First of all, I won't report Moen. I've never reported anyone on this forum. That's a fact and if you don't believe me, ask the moderators. Anyway, the Terms of Service for this forum clearly state: You agree to not use the Service to post or link to any Content which is defamatory, abusive, hateful, threatening, spam or spam-like, likely to offend, contains adult or objectionable content, contains personal information of others, risks copyright infringement, encourages unlawful activity, or otherwise violates any laws. So now, let's look up the word "defamatory" in the dictionary: Adjective defamatory (comparative more defamatory, superlative most defamatory) damaging to someone's reputation, especially if untrue Moen's assertion that Breitbart died of AIDS could be considered defamatory. I'll leave that to Breitbart's estate, their lawyers and the courts to decide. Additionally, it will be up to the moderators of this forum to decide whether or not Moen violated the Terms of Service.
You said, "If it is not a lie, please show me where Breitbart became 83 let alone had AIDS." This seems to me like you are requesting him to defend or support a statement which he told us at the outset that he knows to be untrue and which he simply used to illustrate a point.
Anyone who sees a statement that someone died of aids as being defamatory is not worth paying any attention to.
In English, it is "[You understood] please show me ..." That means the person I am talking to. You know. The one who stated that an untruth is not a lie. It did not ask another person to defend anything. Now, would you like some more English lessons? However, it seems to me that you are being purposely dense just to try to make an inane liberal point and you are falling flat.
Moen owes an apology to all the octogenarians dying of aids. It is disgusting to make light of their plight on this night. Alright?
If it is so clearly a lie, I have to ask, why all the phony outrage? You guys are so funny. This thread was a stroke of genius on my part. I hope that the mods do have enough sense to take it for what it is and not react to those that clearly do exactly the same thing on a daily basis when they lie about Obama, a person actually alive, and the mods keep the thread alive in spite of the overreaction by the Right-wingers. I'm loving this blatant display of hypocrisy defending a guy who practiced exactly what you are accusing me of doing. You just gotta love the irony. And you know what? I do!
