What Part of (none / 0) (#35)

I'm still in the complaint stage. I expect to file in the next two weeks. So I won't be fully participating here for awhile.

Now on to the subject at hand...

What part of accusing Squeaky of being "Anti-American" and "Anti-Jew"  (sic) in the context of that thread do you not comprehend as being intellectually dishonest?

You further wade into the deep muddy by creating a straw man argument as to what Squaky's position is (structured to fit your accusation).

Let me give you an example of what you are doing that maybe you can understand.

Here is a variation on the syllogism you are creating:

  1. Bush and Cheney set up the OSP to to manipulate intelligence to claim to the American people that Saddam was an immediate threat to America and might have a nuclear bomb. It was a deliberate lie.

  2. Bush and Cheney covertly outed a classified CIA agent for the sin of being married to someone who cast doubt on their claims that Saddam had tried to recently purchase yellowcake. This compromised other intelligence agents, by outing a CIA front which in turn exposed other classified agents.  The net effect of this acts compromised American security

  3. Bush and Cheney used threat of a "war on terror" (sic) to imprison American Citizens indefinitely without a trial on the executive branch's say so, compromising our 200 plus year old constitution.

  4. In consideration of premises 1, 2 and 3, it cannot be denied  that Bush and Cheney hate American values and America.

  5. Jimakappj supports Bush and Cheney in the actions described in the first 3 premises.

  6. Therefore it cannot be denied that Jimakappj hates America and American values. Why do you hate America and American values Jimakappj?

There is no diffence in the syllogism I just constructed about Jimakappj and the you one you constructed about Squeaky.

Do you see the similarities? Do you understand why it is intellectually dishonest?

BTW, WHY do you HATE America?
