Happy to oblige: Comment 38, by Las Vegas Ron:
Instead of Alinsky tactics, why don't you dispute and then answer the questions the video brings up?I think that can reasonably be described as calling "on someone to look over the posted "truther video" and actually deal with what it says.
Oh, you can't you say?
What did you MEAN when you said "dispute and then answer questions the video brings up", if you didn't mean "watch the video and refute the points it makes?
Hopefully, my repost of your comment section will jog your memory. In general, it is easy to go back through a thread.
Yes, his response in my opinion is questionable, are you a psychology expert?
No. I have seen grieving people laugh. I saw my sister laugh at her husband's funeral. Parker is a Mormon, so he has a belief in an afterlife, and may well be comforted thinking his daughter is in a better place, as some often say to console the grieving. I tend to avoid people who have lost loved ones, because I cry easily. But if I've seen people with true loss laugh, I can assert that laughing is not incongruous with a loss of a loved one.
Which is the real problem, you asserting that in the world of responses, laughter could NEVER be a real response in that situation. In fact, almost every emotional response is possible. My wife tends to laugh hysterically whenever she is really upset, probably a protective mechanism before she breaks down into tears. Everybody has their own way of handling things. To assert that the only real response is that which you would contemplate is silly.
I happen to think a man who just had a daughter murdered would not be yucking it up right before a news conference the very nest day.
And yet there he was, doing it. And rather than acknowledge that your opinion of what a man might do is clearly wrong, you instead took your opinion as fact, and assume therefore that the man is a liar, and that somehow nobody has noticed.
There is a grave in Utah with his daughter's name on it -- who did they bury, if not his daughter? There is a picture with his daughter in it? What did they do with her, if she is still alive? There is a picture of the family with Obama, which anybody in this country could have easily seen -- and you think that nobody who knew the "real Parkers" has noticed an imposter?
It's not just that your entire theory is based on a false premise of "how people would act", it's the shear impossibility of your theory being correct, given the public nature of the information we have.
The conspiracy required to fake an entire family, on national TV, is phenomenal.
It's not just a few people in a quiet town in Connecticut. How do you fake the funeral? Ogden, Utah: Family says final goodbye
Apparently, there is entire branch of the conspiracy in Utah, pretending to know the "family". And there's "Vinny Idone, her father from New York who had befriended the Parkers when they moved to Connecticut about eight months ago". I guess that's a long-running conspiracy.
The reason there aren't THOUSANDS of people refuting this absurd claim is that it is so absurd nobody feels compelled to come forward to say "ye, we also knew the Parkers".
Emilie Parker laid to rest next to her grandfather -- hey look, they got a fake grandfather and buried him years ago, just for a time such as this.
Burial at Evergreen Memorial Park followed a private funeral for family and close friends at a Mormon church across the street from Ben Lomond High School, where Emilie's parents, Robbie and Alissa Parker, met.Wait, that is "fake close friends". And I'm sure nobody at Ben Lomand High School remember Robbie and Alissa attending school. They even slipped fake pictures of them into the high school yearbook, just so they'd be ready for this conspiracy.
Seriously, do you even comprehend how hard it would be to create a fake family with multiple children, with relatives, friends, an entire life, and then have one of the kids get a fake burial?
I think some people watch way too much TV.
Huh?? Asking a poster to argue the subject in a video is directiing them to it?
And then telling them not to use "truther" labels but rather discuss points is some how what?
I come here to have adult conversations, not be labeled because I disagree with something....see the difference?
What did you MEAN when you said "dispute and then answer questions the video brings up", if you didn't mean "watch the video and refute the points it makes?
It's called a discussion, debate, trying to understand what the hell is really going on.
The conspiracy required to fake an entire family, on national TV, is phenomenal.
Please tell me you are not that illiterate, I have made my position perfectly clear to any one that has an elementary comprehension of the written word, at least twice now to you, what the hell is your problem?
You really did bump your head or something, I wrote it was an opinion.
Seems to me, you have the opposite opinion, and believe you are just as right as I believe that I am.
Deal with it.
I know it sounds stupid, but look at how many people think that Robbie Parker is an actor, that Emilie Parker is still alive, and that their pictures are all photo-shopped.
It is absurd, so it requires extraordinary measures.
That's not the real title of the thread, as it starts with a real article and the title is the article name. But the thread is a series of comments with posts of different articles quoting different people who knew Robbie or his wife or the kids.
It would be great if one of our people from Newtown could find references to the family in local sources, like a phone book, or a yearbook, or property records, or quotes from other people who knew them.
Since we've had people claiming that the daughter didn't exist, and didn't attend the school, it's time to prove otherwise, just to shut these people up before they make even bigger fools of the site.
