*******
*******The only ones who would label these as 'phony' are those who live by the 'By Any Means Necessary' mindset ....
*******
*******
******
******Or people who disagree with you.
******
******Are you really going to claim that only you and people who agree with you are in full posession of the facts and that your interpretation of those facts is the only possible one that can be legitimately reached?

***** I'm saying that anyone who believes that these things are nothing more than 'phony scandals' are slimeballs...

***** We can disagree on elements involved but if one can sum it all up as 'phony scandals', heaven only knows what else he or she could condone..
****
****So, it's ok if someone disagrees with you, as long as they come to the same basic conclusion that you did, but if they think you're completely wrong, they're a "slimeball?"
****
****Sorry, but there's plenty of reason to think that your basic premises are wrong.
****
****What you're claiming is like saying "you can disagree with Obama about details, but if you think he's a bad president, you're speaking out of racism."

*** I am talking about people who say all of it amounts to 'phony Scandals'...

***
*** The people who died in Benghazi were real..
***
**
**However, you insist that people have to share you opinions about who is responsible.
**
***
*** The parents still begging for answers are real..
***
***
***
*** IRS targeting is real...It was admitted...
***
**
**Untrue.
**
** Very true

Only to those with a deliberate agenda to mislead. Tea party groups were investigated. Groups on the left were investigated. The only group that lost tax exempt status supported the Democratic party. If you say "tea party groups were investigated. That proves that the right was targeted," you're leaving out so much information and context that you've made it untrue.


If you want to say that groups that were potentially politically orientated were targeted in regard to a regulation that was supposed to prevent politically orientated groups from getting tax exempt status, that's kind of the point of the regulation, isn't it?

**Really? When you claim it's a "scandal," you're implying that you know who is responsible. Otherwise, it's an event. It's only a scandal if there's a person to be scandalized.

* When I say "phony scandal", I'm quoting Rumor...I make every effort not to use 'scandal' as I believe that alone trivializes the importance.....
*
*
*
* I don't care whether you call it 'event' , 'happening', or 'Ealph'', none of it is phony....

Something can be a real event and a phony scandal.

Suppose I say there was a lot of traffic today because Obama was in NYC, that would be a real event. Suppose I then say; Obama should be impeached because he tied up traffic, making life difficult for New Yorkers,and deliberately caused businesses to lose money because he's a socialist and wants businesses to fail. That would be a phony scandal.

*** But yes, if one believes this is all phony, I am definitely of the opinion that such a person is a slimeball...

***Not to mention having with a extremely fragile hold on reality...

***
*** Am I not entitled to an opinion which doesn't meet your approval?
***
**
**You're entitled to have any opinion you want, but if I think you're wrong, I'm entitled to have that opinion. Am I not just as entitled to pass judgement over people based on their opinions as you are?
**
**
** Sure...
**
***
*** You are perfectly free to characterize my feelings on such matters any which way you like...
***
**
**When did I say you weren't allowed to post your opinions?
**
**
***
***And I will still think the people in question are slimeballs...
