You're not going to get away with adding an assume clause in order to make your party look good. Otherwise, I'd call you a DNC robot.


    My post was critical of this mistake.

    I wasn't "boasting" of having pictures. I was saying that it was easy to find those pictures through Google.

    Another brilliant post on your part. Keep it up!

        Giving someone the benefit of the doubt does not constitute being critical of a mistake. Nice try.

              Who knows?

              I thought I was clear in saying that it was a very silly and careless mistake considering how easy it would have been to get it right.

                I guess he's saying your assume clause is giving them benefit of the doubt. To be fair, the article does mention the DNC apologizing for the incorrect pictures so I think we can know a mistake was made. However, it is still pretty confusing to see how that could somehow change your post into either giving them the benefit of the doubt or making the DNC look good, as your message that it was a dumb mistake and one it would have been easy for them to avoid in the first place is pretty clear.

                  I was posting very early in the cycle of the story, so I was adding a disclaimer to my own points about this specific instance of incompetence. That's all.

                  Also, while embarrassing, it won't amount to anything although FAUX will undoubtedly try to make it.

                    Why would you want to ignore Flag? I'm hoping this is all a gag and he's playing a character out here that's easily caricatured as a laughingstock. If not, the dude needs to seek professional help and quickly.

                      That's not giving the DNC the benefit of the doubt, that's refusing to give Foxnews the benefit of the doubt.

                        Do tell us, and I played Willy Wonka in my senior play so I can do the pose, how "the dude needs to seek professional help and quickly."

                          You want to know how you can seek professional help? Well, I'd suggest printing out your incoherent ramblings out here and sending them to your primary care physician. I'm sure they'll have you committed within the hour.

                              I'm way better looking than Oprah although as I only weigh about 195 she might be a little bigger than me.
