Seriously? Regardless of what type of person mnehring is, are you of the opinion that Rick Perry knows who mnehring is and agrees with what mnehring writes in a post on FR? Odd! By the way, in case the point escaped you (or anyone else) the comment by mnehring was meant as an insult to the author of the article, who appears to have a bug up the whazoo over Rick Perry as a candidate for POTUS.
Technically, it was supposed to be an object lesson in how the author took one small statement and wrote an entire libelous narrative around it that had nothing to do with the original statement (by doing the same thing- the old illustrating absurdity by being absurd).. but insult is cool too.
