Well, your screen name has been filed away as worthless, since you don’t understand the most basic of concepts - that if you make a claim, YOU have to back it up. Not those who ask for it to be verified.
I guess the concept that you can't prove a negative flies right over your head.
I can't prove Perry DIDN'T say that. You can prove he DID. You are the one making the claim. I am the one challenging that claim. If you wish your claim to hold up in the public court of FR review, you have to back it up with a link. If Perry said something so controversial, it should be easy to find a link.
So until you do such, you are no better than Rather's producer Mapes, who, when asked to prove the TANG documents were true, instead said no one had proven them false.
Telling the skeptics to find the links is no better. I would hope you would be interested in maintaining some notion of FR veracity, because a demand that the other side produce the links to back up your own claims is the sign of a weasel who got caught pulling a claim out of their arse and now wants to pretend that claim don't stink.
Thanks for posting this great information on Perry.
I’ll read the thread later as I have become so upset with the Perry detractors who refuse to believe obvious truths and who distort and lie about Perry that my husband says I’m getting ‘mean.’
I don’t want to get mean this early on Saturday so I’ll read and comment later.
These Cain-train devotees don’t seem to have the slightest clue that they are rooting for a man who has no record to defend and who might well be for Romney.
Dividing the conservatives by this Cain mania will give us Romney, that’s for sure. Cain has no campaign structure or money ... that’s why he’s angling for a veep post with Romney.
But you can’t get crazed haters to listen so ... well, thanks for your efforts and I’ll see you later after I’m already mean.
The problem is “why” it was being constructed.

All I know about you is you seem too lazy to do your own research and have the nerve to demand I prove my own opinion. I also see you are very thin-skinned. You don’t have to like me, you can call me names, it doesn’t matter to me. It’s your perogative.
“Well, your screen name has been filed away as worthless, since you don’t understand the most basic of concepts - that if you make a claim, YOU have to back it up. Not those who ask for it to be verified.”
Fine. I have no problem with that. File away.
BHAHAHAHA! You are the one telling others to find the links, and yet you call me lazy? Do you have any idea how absurd your position is getting here?

You are demanding I provide a link for my own comments and I am saying if you want a link find it yourself.
