A fair reminder of what caused Franken's ouster

137. No, it is not.

Personal insults?

I've been criticizing your style of argumentation and challenging you to back up your claims beyond "it's true just because I say so".

Read above to see the clear course of this exchange.

You're the one who began with your old line about "cult of personality" (such a tired one by now, and utterly unproductive), who started in on me with the distraction accusations of my playing "semantics games" and "spin" and who's tried to claim I'm "denying reality".

If you can't take some back and forth when you set the tone of a debate like that, don't dish it out, and quit whining.

Franken's own words during his resignation speech not good enough for you?

Franken's remarks did not include an apology — indeed, he appeared to have pulled back from a Nov. 16 statement in which he said he was "ashamed" of behavior that was "completely inappropriate" when it came to one of the women who has accused him of misconduct. [That would be the Tweeden pic.]

On Thursday, Franken said his past statements, in which he said women who raise such allegations should be heard, had given people "the false impression" that he was admitting guilt.

"Some of the allegations against me are simply not true. Others I remember differently," he said.

There you go. No admission of all the allegations against him, which is the claim of yours that I challenged you to prove. Clear as day. That's reality.
