Beyond being rude and starting off with arrogance, you’re now pestering me. I invite you to come down from your high horse among us mortals. Now, in my 20 years of education, I never learned what a rhetorical device is, please do tell oh wise one.

You originally posted:

“Imagine how the MSM would react if Fox failed to identify a McCain debate questioner as a a former McCain staff. NOW WE KNOW WHY THE DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO DEBATE ON FOX NEWS.”

To which I responded:
“That never happened and they refused anyway!”

Then you started being high brow,
“Please read more carefully. I said ‘imagine if...’ I did not say that such a thing happened. It is a rhetorical device to make a point, not an assertion of fact.”

I responded:
“Please practice what you preach, I didn’t write that you did say it happened. I said it doesn’t need to happen, there’s no point to imagining, they did that (refuse a fox debate) without it happening.”

This makes complete sense.

There’s no need to make your point rhetorically, we don’t have to imagine anything. Certainly you can imagine anything you want, for example, that you’re so much brighter than I and others you condesend here. The dems refused to debate on fox even though fox never failed to identify a GOP plant. My post didn’t assert that yours said fox failed to identify a GOP plant. Nor did it have to have the word “need” in it for one to read it and understand what I was saying - that they refused even though such an incident never occured. Using your arrogant form of discussion, you do know how to infer don’t you?

You’re too full of yourself. You should try asking for clarification and not being nasty and attacking someone if something is unclear.

You’re right. I’m wrong. Feel better, big boy?
