Please identify the grammatical incoherence in that paragraph.

Make that logically incoherent. It's just a string of non sequiturs that don't support your original claim, which was that I pretended that Politico was being manipulative with a fictitious headline.

That Politico wrote a false and inflammatory headline doesn't change the reality....

..that you use it as an opportunity to senselessly bash the GOP based on a fictitious headline. The headline has been proven false, so you resort to non sequitur rants instead. The rest of your post is simply more logically incoherent rants and baseless assumptions that have no relevance to the original argument. Also, the statement I posted from the actual House GOP leader throws a monkey wrench in your whole 'divide' argument. No wonder you didn't comment on it. Your just here to bash the GOP.

Ah -- sounds like a a smooth save to resort to "logically incoherent" instead of "grammatically incoherent" when you realized that ineed, everything was grammatically correct in what I wrote. And what do you mean when you use the term non sequitur? A quick dictionary defines "non sequitur" as "a comment, due to its lack of meaning realtive to the comment it follows, is absurd to the point of being humorous or confusing." Clearly, "non sequitur" is subjective (unlike grammar) and in the eyes of the beholder. Something you may think is a non sequitur, someone else may find perfectly apropos.

I was logically correct and perfectly coherent in what I wrote. If you are looking for an example of "logical incoherence," look at the example of a headline and story which both are incorrect in specifics, but correct and accurate in the essentials -- and the reader who then discounts the truthfulness of the essentials because the specifics were incorrect. Kind of like saying that a news story about the Titanic that gets the name of the captain wrong and implies in the headline a quote that was never uttered, therefore means that the Titanic never sunk. Now maybe that's too fancy for your slow wit to follow and you will regard the Titanic example as a non sequitur, but we both know that really, such regard would be a game of semantics on your part.

"Your just here to bash the GOP."

Grammatically incorrect for certain, IMO logically incoherent, and possibly a non sequitur to boot. I'm here to bash big government Republicans in the GOP, and you know it. You just are too proud to admit it, and instead resort to cool-sounding buzzwords like "grammatically incoherent" and "non sequitur" because they make you feel smart. Use of language is my business, so it's kind of hard to pull the wool over my eyes in that department.
