re: #405 Talking Point Detective

BTW, Buck. Maybe this will help you get where I’m coming from.

I had the same assessment of Clinton. Almost all politicians are insincere to at least some degree. Clinton seemed to me to be over-the-top smarmy. I never understood how anyone could find Clinton sincere either.

What I’m saying here is that Beck’s “explanations” and “apologies” rank in exactly the same spot on my smell test as Clinton’s:

AND ALL OF THAT IS FINE BY ME. not that you need my approval, but it has NOTHING to do with what we are talking about. You can feel that beck is the Devil himself, and if you put it that way, I could care less.

However when you paraphrase his comment, and it no longer has the original meaning, then I call bullshit.

You made the statement that “He was on the Today show the other day saying that calling Obama (a racist) was a “joke,” just like the Simpsons or John Stewart.”

I say that it is clear from watching the entire clip, that he did not say that.

You can smell test his actual comment, but it is wrong to make up comments. You don’t have to. You can find real comments that you don’t like. Attack and smell them.
