‘Someone offered up this example further up the thread, so it is the implicit thesis of every response.’

That’s ridiculous. The person who posited that example is responsible for it, not people who’ve never advanced that argument.

Otoh, if you’ve memorized your pat answers to that particular example, I can see where you’d like to acuse everyone of using it. Like they say, if all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

‘Which one was that?’

See post 185.

I asked for an example of Ted Cruz lying in message 50.

Cyberman offered the Carson dropping out story as an example of a Lie Cruz told. Message Number 58.

I point out that this is not an example of Cruz Lying. (Message #102)

You come in at message 166 responding to my commentary to "Blue Highway." By this point, the message chain is pretty much regarding the claim that Cruz was Lying about Carson in Iowa.

That was the topic thesis of the message chain to which you were responding.

Otoh, if you’ve memorized your pat answers to that particular example, I can see where you’d like to acuse everyone of using it. No, actually my methodology is to wait until they give me an example of a Ted Cruz "lie", and then I go check it against information available on the internet in an attempt to verify whether this example is valid or false.

So far I haven't seen an example of a Ted Cruz "lie" that can pass the "reasonable man" test.

Like they say, if all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

I'm thinking that this was the exact methodology of people who employed the lie hammer to beat an opponent into submission. They just kept beating on him with that hammer.

‘Which one was that?’

See post 185.

I'll have to look at that when I get back. I have got to go rescue someone having car trouble in another town. Probably have to look at it tomorrow.

At this point I have no idea if Trump or any of his companies engaged in eminent domain trickery, but I would find it very strange if there is not some sort of event or incident involving Trump properties upon which this assertion rests.

If Trump has been a boyscout in the real estate market all his life, I will find that surprising. New York is a cutthroat town, and a lot of businesses have to play cutthroat just to survive in that city.
