You decided to ignore the portion of the quote that I had been directed to by the previous poster, and start a discussion on some OTHER boldened portion of the Keyes' quote, AND you refuse to discuss the main issues that I have with what Keyes has done...then you have the gumption to call me dishonest, while engaging in dishonest debating techniques yourself.

You took the bolded portion and misrepresented its meaning. You weren't debating over it - you quite purposefully separated it from the remainder of the quote in an attempt to draw your own (mistaken) conclusion. Now, I allowed upthread for the fact that you may have done so out of incompetence rather than some malignant motive.

Whatever the reason, you'd do well to admit your mistake and move on. Your defense of the clearly indefensible is embarrassing to watch. But I'm not about to engage in a serious debate over a quote you purposefully took out of context.

Maybe you have a reading comprehension problem, so I'll type slowly and maybe this time, you'll get it: I never read the rest of the quote. I read the portion that I surmised he wanted me to read (in bold), then, after the clarification, I stopped commenting on it, but you haven't.

Why you haven't is painfully obvious, lacking the ability to defend Keyes on some many other levels, you zoomed in on the one you could.

Making you look truly foolish here, but that's easy.

I told you what I did several posts back, and you have yet to move on.

Physician, heal thyself.

I think Obama's man just want to see his own words posted, get some kind of response. Such passion. Or maybe he hates Keyes. In any case, he hasn't been able to post anything of relevance against Keyes. In any debate Keyes will make mincemeat out of Obama whose talk was largely fluff.
