You make it hard to defend you.

I would never have posted that newsmax quote, first because I never trust newsmax, and second because I knew the fox news interview and KNEW that Fred did not address “gay rights”.

I defended you because you quoted from a right-wing publication, and I couldn’t prove you knew of the original source and therefore that the quote was a lie.

But here you say you KNEW the original source, and in fact had linked to it before.

That means you KNEW that Fred Thompson had said we needed to be a tolerant nation, NOT be tolerant toward “gay rights”. You KNEW the article was lying.

Why would you post a secondary source that you knew was lying? That’s just stupid, it’s like you are begging to be attacked.

I want civil discourse. I don’t like the personal attacks, I like arguing on the merits. I defend people like you who appear to be trying to cite sources.

I hurts me when, having put my own neck on the line to defend your integrity, you admit to being less than honest.

It makes it that much harder for me to win the argument over civility when I am made to look the fool by those I am trying to defend.

Charles, I never would have attacked her the way I did if I didn’t already know she knew her source was disingenuous.
