Your phrase “she shouldn’t give false information” certainly implies a volitional aspect.

If she didn’t deliberately give “false information,” then she made an honest mistake (if the facts are at variance) and then what in Hell’s Bells is so upsetting and disqualifying about that?

Again, why do you assume the information was false and that, even if it was false, that she did more than make an honest mistake?

BufordP, you've been a bad bad boy...  ;^)

Impy, you came up with the answer.  Here's how to tell for sure.  Use this link, and you'll be take to what looks like the top of Post 84.5.  Of course, it's actually the top of Post 85.0.

What he did was copy a post, then changed the data to look exactly like the ending of one post (84.5), and the beginning of a new one (85.0).

He changed the "to:" people to throw us off.  A few alterations, and it looked pretty good.  Okay BufordP, how many times have you done this and nobody noticed?

Any Conservative Who doesn't like Palin or Bachman, is no Conservative.

How about the ones too ignorant to spell a candidate's name correctly?

Should such losers be permitted an opinion?

Well, if you weren’t called on it, most likely nobody noticed.

I’m okay with a Fifth Amendment Response... ;^)

RE :”Buford P did you make post 84.5? (seems like you did) I’ve seen someone do that once before, some HTML trick obviously

That is not the tough part, it is the timing that is tough(my guess) . He already has the boilerplate HTML he can use over and over, but once he creates the newest comment from it he must choose a comment number in the future and wait till the exact moment after the comment # just before it is posted, and get it before someone else gets the next number. If FR hiccups (hangs) during the process who know what will happen, same with two others posting at the same time.

Your post #73: The point is that the federal government is so unflippinbelievable large and powerful that it’s almost IMPOSSIBLE TO AVOID benefiting from federal “aid” at some time or another.

Your last post: Your phrase “she shouldn’t give false information” certainly implies a volitional aspect. If she didn’t deliberately give “false information,” then she made an honest mistake (if the facts are at variance) and then what in Hell’s Bells is so upsetting and disqualifying about that? Again, why do you assume the information was false and that, even if it was false, that she did more than make an honest mistake?

Your last post is ironic nonsense.

Read your first post, post #73. YOU are the one who first gave an excuse for what Bachmann said, based on the scenario that the information Bachmann gave was false.

I then responded to YOUR scenario by saying, "fine, then she shouldn’t give false information".

The scenario, was YOURS. I responded to it.

Add to that, you then assumed that I assumed that she was lying, when there is nothing in what I said that calls her a liar.

The word "false" means "incorrect". One can give incorrect information without lying. One can criticize one who gives incorrect information for reasons other than thinking that the person is a liar.

Do I need to explain those reasons to you??

Wrong.

Nothing about my comment touches on whether or not the info Bachmann gave was false or incorrect.

My simple point was about the size and reach of the federal government. It was about how stupid this entire flap is in the context of the larger catastrophe facing our nation that we are headed to a place where the vast majority of Americans "benefit from" (are dependent upon) the government.

IOW, the LSM is sitting around worried about whether Michele Bachmann's father-in-law's farm's federal tax credits (or whatever) flowed a financial benefit to Mrs. Bachmann while we have a President who is doing everything within his power, with the full support of that same LSM, to flow federal financial "benefits" to as many government slaves as possible.

I tried to make that point in a more pithy way. Obviously, didn't work for some.

How you see in that an "excuse" for whatever Mrs. Bachmann said seems like an emotional overreaction to me.

That is all.

(P.S. Just a suggestion: lose the added-on personal insults ("do I need to explain it to you?") and just make your points.

LOL, what? I used the word "fine" in my post to you. How is that an emotional overreaction.

Anyway, along with your objection to my use of the word "fine" I will add that I thought your following statements were emotional overations.

(P.S. Just a suggestion: Don't put false words in people's mouths...e.g. "upset", "disqualifying", "deliberate false information")
