Again, when did I ever say I was supporting Rudy????
What I’m about to say isn’t meant against you, so please don’t take it that way. However, I feel the need to rant:
The level of opinions in this thread based upon assumptions innuendos is staggering.
Fellow FReepers are being called liars for posting from a source that is often considered as gospel when Dhimmicrats are the target. If the article had been about Hillary, it would have had 100 kudos by now. What’s going on here?!?!?
It seems to me that the absolute hatred for Rudy - his politics and core beliefs - is so rampant on FR that the meaning of the word CONTEXT is postings has been lost.
It’s as if the dark side of Free Republic has come to the surface. It’s truly disappointing to watch.
1) As I've said, I don't consider NewsMax a reliable source, period. They have a nasty habit of putting forward a very skewed version of a story, using partial or out of context quotes and omitting pertinent information that runs counter to the "message" they want to send.
2) The poster veronica knew the full context of the quote, but chose to post NewsMax's out-of-context version in order to misrepresent the position of Thompson, in a vain attempt to justify Guiliani's liberalism.
If I were a guest in your house and I didn't like what I was seeing, I would leave.
See my post 177. My support for veronica was misplaced, as she admits to knowing the original article’s information, and therefore knew that her statement was false.
And knowing that, she persisted in arguing it again and again, even though she had been permitted to MAKE her false claim without punishment, and was told merely to STOP repeating it.
Meanwhile, she ignored my questions about the issues, showing no evidence she wanted to participate in a rational discussion of policy or substance.
When you are young, you learn when further protests are fruitless, and what the result is of re-arguing points that have been rejected.
veronica is like one of those people who end up in contempt of court because after the judge warns them to stop, they insist on asserting their right to continue.
