(5,272 posts)either on the facts, my interpretation of a posters words, or my own tone, I own up to it and even sometimes feel the need to apologize. You could find examples in my history.
You on the other hand....
As far as I know you have never on this board been wrong when engaged in a discussion with somebody who you have an ideological disagreement with, or certainly you have not been wrong to your own knowledge. Maybe I just missed those moments and I hope so. If not though, that's kind of depressing. You're either this amazing genius who's always on the right side of the facts, and hopefully one day I just catch up to seeing your "real world" as it apparently is, or you, like other people we all know, see weakness in admitting mistakes.
When Sanders claims credit for this win then you will be right, retroactively.
Until then, pointing to others who have claimed this to be his win does not effectively indict him for the act by association. If you actually have a link where words are either typed by Sanders or come out of his mouth that even insinuate what you're saying he's saying, I'll retract that this is an outright fabrication.
As to the issue of credit, I've posted in two separate threads that were started(this being one of them) where the original posters were simply using news headlines in their op titles, which did give Sanders credit and made it sound like Gillum owed Sanders endorsement the credit for the win, and I objected to them both. One of us isn't quite as partisanly predictable as the other when it comes to our posts....I wonder which one that is.
