.. What propaganda? ..

You've posted a Guardian story, Cincy.

You feel right at home there but it makes us conservatives uncomfortable. So as you libs say, this is a 'trigger warning.' I salute your diversity but FR is a 'safe space' from your hate speech. Hoping that's helpful, Byron

There is nothing hateful in posting an article about the Trumps backtracking when questioned about his having called President Bush a liar. Your comment seems like a unusually harsh response to a very reasonable thread.

Are the quotes manufactured?

I've see things posted from MSNBC, CNN, Mother Jones, Salon, etc, etc supporting Trump (while conservative sites are smeared for criticizing Trump), so why get so fussy now?

*******************************************************************

Trump is a make believe person - a salesman with manufactured, targeted "principles."

Trump: ["Art of the Deal"]: The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people's fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That's why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular.

I call it truthful hyperbole. It's an innocent form of exaggeration - and a very effective form of promotion. - Source

So Trump parrots left wing propaganda that contradicts his earlier pro-war position, and you get upset that the report appeared in a left wing newspaper. For you, it’s not about truth. It’s about how do we hide the Trump’s falsehoods by attacking the politics of the messenger, which again are ins synch with Trump’s current position on the war. If anything, this makes Trump look even worse since it shows how mercurial and unprincipled he is. Like his pal Hillary, whom he praised and funded, he wants to have it both ways. Vehemently for the war before it starts, and then vehemently opposed to it afterward for political gain. You must be happy to support such an unprincipled opportunist. The problem is, though, fact matter. Words matter. Character matters.
