Not that you could buy a clue if someone gave you a million dollars, but here was the original quote:
"More like I wanted to make sure the rudybots were present for a flogging."
So you be sure to let me know which part of THAT I got wrong. Why, the answer is, none of it.
As to the armband issue, the post was removed.
Oh, puh-leeze. That is clearly rhetorical.
And regarding EV's post, that was rhetorical as well.
But, then again, I expect someone who relies on Wikipedia as their primary source for anti-Reagan material to not grasp the subtleties of what opponents are saying.
Clearly the author of that is speaking of a rhetorical flogging. If those are the types of comments to which you're taking offense, then I stand by my original comment.
