Charles, we await your proof ....
Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"
Pack for a long trip.
You are awaiting proof that someone didn’t do something?
What would constitute such proof? The name of the person who DID do it? You’d think so, but we already know that name isn’t Romney — the charge is that the person who did it was part of an organization that was secretly run by Romney and doing his bidding.
And I would “prove” that false how? How would I prove that an alien from outer space didn’t appear to Barack Obama last week?
I have long ago explained why the references provided do not prove the claim. That doesn’t “disprove” the claim, of course, because the absense of evidence is not the evidence of absense.
So what I should have said is “That would be claiming credit for something that there is no evidence he did”.
At least I’m consistant — I don’t blame Sarah Palin for stupid things people around her do either. I only blame her for things she does herself.
