I said: I don't know how to characterize the statement. Now read it again. "The Statement" was what was being described.

(Nice parsing...after all, it is people who make statements...statements don't materialize on their own...unless you're talking about the book of Daniel in the Old Testament...where the ruler literally saw the "handwriting on the wall"...so unless you're talking about a "handwriting on the wall" situation...sorry...people utter statements)

Not sure if you're competitive yet with Clintonian kinds of parsing...like...that depends upon what the meaning of the word is is...

It's not parsing to make a distinction between bad people and bad statements.

You've expended all of this effort defending someone who said, "I would never sit next to a Muslim or a Mormon. They're evil and bad for the country."

Congratulations. I'm sure your family would be proud.
