Nice try.

The WWII analogies are specious. Carville and Begala are professional liars. There is much to learn from them, but this does not mean they are to be emulated for their prevarication any more than the German's were to be emulated for gassing Jews. A tool is a tool. But 'Zyklon B' is not fresh water.

Yes, the Matt Lewis quote was out of context, but the discussion centered around the comments of the attendees, not the Matt Lewis quote. Nobody hijacked the thread.

Golly, but you know such big words. I don't recall advocating prevarication (a 5-dollar synonym for "lying") as a tactic, and don't recall anyone else in this thread advocating it either. If you can quote any of my posts in this thread where I advocate lying, please be good enough to do so.

My thoughts could get me banned, but I'll play nice.

I, nor anyone, said LIE repetitively. Got it?

And in fact, I went to lengths to identify what I meant about learning from those in history. It's sad to see such incomprehensible behavior.

Good day sir!
