I didn't misunderstand. Using the words verified fact in
the same statement with an opinion, such as "Lincoln was
Gay", is an intentional equivocation meant to mislead
and deceive.
n 1: a statement that is not literally false but that cleverly avoids an unpleasant truth [syn: evasion] 2: intentionally vague or ambiguous
[syn: prevarication, evasiveness] 3: falsification by means of vague or ambiguous language [syn: tergiversation

O.o Hokay then. Hanlon's and Occam's razors need to be applied here. Attack based on a logical fallacy is only applicable when the fallacy is being used in an argument, in such a way it would serve to the advantage of the arguer. Second, and perhaps more important, I didn't bring it up in the first place, I was responding to (paraphrased) "This Lincon is gay crap".
