Right from the beginning I was really asking a rhetorical question, but it went over your heads, sarcasm was NOT appreciated, I do NOT have manure for brains
Was trying to figure out what on earth CNN had to gain by suggesting he was loved by ALL the poor, who did they think they would fool.
You dont think I have ever heard of Dictators claiming that they got 100% of the vote, no I did not just fall off turnip truck, perhaps I could have worded it better
Yes they have played down the wrongs of Cuban leaders as well over the years
Sorry, fanfan lives in Canada, I live in New York.
We both deal with people who state the same things you did... and they actually mean it.
You don't post very often, and you might feel ganged up on, but that is not true. I simply feel a need to spread facts. Perhaps my delivery is not my best quality, but it's for the greater good.
I hope! :-)
I guess you could have worded it better, because you did say you "wondered if it was really true".
As Darksheare said, we come across people with no critical thinking skills everyday, and it seemed weird (to me anyway) to see a FReeper say what you said. I didn't see a /sarc so I assumed you meant it.
Should I have assumed that you didn't mean what you wrote? No way. I have to think that you review your posts, and say what you mean.
Also, when people ask questions, it's an opportunity to inform low information Lurkers. (As opposed to regular Lurkers.)
What does CNN have to gain? Well, why is Obama still campaigning? To convince low information citizens of their lies....otherwise, they lose all credibility.
