re: #296 Dark_Falcon

Can you see how Gus’s remarks could be taken as a defense of ‘fake but accurate’, though? He focuses on the suffering in Gaza, says the video likely isn’t a fake, then goes and advocates involvement by Jimmy Carter. Those things put together are often seen by those who have defended past “Pallywood productions” as ‘fake but accurate’.

If you think that’s not what Gus is saying, I’ll take your word for it, but I ask that you understand why others might think as they do.

It’s a distortion of what Gus said and I think you know that. Why else would you drag Jimmy Carter into it?

Is this you arguing honestly DF, or are you just trying to be “effective”? Sorry, but I have a hard time wondering whether it is worthwhile debating with someone who has stated on many recent occasions that he admires rhetorical dishonesty.

Anyway, by all means argue against what is said, don’t try to defend strawmandery.
