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.
