re: #17 goddamnedfrank

Tu Quoque is a logical fallacy, not an argument, and as I recall the Secret Service incident you’re talking about took place in Columbia, where prostitution is legal, not Honduras. And those Secret Service agents lost their jobs

I am not making an argument. I point out the way things are (and the Secret Service parties were all over the world, btw…and none of them were prosecuted in those countries)

Fact is her limited consular privilege doesn’t cover lying on visa forms and keeping a wage slave in violation of US law.

Wage slave? What the hell is that? So the diplomat isn’t covered but her maid can make extortion demands? If you want to start in on diplomatic immunity arguments, explain how the hell a private contractor in Pakistan can shoot people and we then claim he has immunity after the fact??? Oh, because we are the US and what we say goes?

The only reason the Indian government gives a shit about this is because she comes from the right kind of family.

Real, really, really wrong. She is a dalit…a scheduled caste. She is an untouchable!

The Indian press is going nuts over charges that the government reacted too slow because she is low caste.
