The true version is that the same man organized both events.
Do you think the word was not passed when it was the same guy?
“Do you think the word was not passed when it was the same guy?”
I’m not going to assume it was passed. The two groups have very little in common, why would he want to mingle them? A lot of times I make plans to meet with two different groups of friends/acquaintances and don’t tell one about the other.
The story the organizer told sounds plausible to me. If you can give me good reason to doubt the guy who was there, and take your word for it - or somebody else’s word - then give me the reason. Otherwise, it sounds too much like the dims screeching and hollering about some inconsequential happenstance.
I don’t like Boehner, but this sure is a weak and disingenuous reed to swat him with.
