John, you really need to work out the subtleties of debating. That was not
an assertion - it was a parody of your sentence, used to make my point.

How convenient. So, your point was to parody my assertion by making a
non-assertion assertion yourself. Subtle. But your sublime subtlety wasn’t
lost on me; I just wanted you to make your point instead of trying to WOW me
with your subtle debating skilz.
|
So you were trying to make me make a point that wasn’t lost on you anyway? Why
not just answer the point with some evidence instead of wasting everyone’s time?
| |
| |
Do you actually have anything to backup your assertion? If so, why not post
it here, like Dave did?
|
Better yet, who asked you
in the first place?
|
You did. By posting an assertion publicly with nothing to back it up.
| |
But unlike you, I don’t provide evidence (in this case antidotal) for my case
using the type of evidence against which I’m arguing. In fact, the lack of
pro-war stories actually makes my point!
|
Maybe you think so.
| |
What I’m saying is that antidotal evidence of poor troop morale is an
invidious tactic of the MSM to steer public opinion against the war effort.
I wonder how many pro-war effort opinions were passed upon until a negative
one was found and reported on.
|
If there are so many, why didn’t you post some of them in rebuttal of Dave’s
perceived implication?
| |
The impression left (as implied by Dave!) is
that overall morale is down.
I question the judgment and the lack of bias of the writers of this story.
|
Good! More people should question the stories they read in the news! For that
matter, more editors should question the stories their reporters write!
| |
They aren’t interested in reporting news, they are interested in forwarding
an anti-war, anti-Bush agenda.
|
Another assertion without factual basis. And I could probably assert something
similar about any pro-war links you post too, if I was in the habit of making
unfounded assertions, and if you’d actually posted any.
