189. "I mean, your excuses are completetly disingenuous"

Thu Aug 22, 2013, 05:08 PM

Aug 2013

Now that's projection. Every time anyone brings up anything that puts Obama in a bad light, you deflect the discussion away as much as possible, usually by attacking the person, not by refuting the information put forth. That is disingenuous. And when I point out that you are being disingenuous in your discussions, you claim it's a "personal" attack.

I will continue to argue against your, or anyone's, diversionary tactics as long as you or they continue to use them.

Sorry Brad, you're group 2 MannyGoldstein Aug 2013 #1

As awful, awful as Bush was, at least he *asked* ProSense Aug 2013 #17

Which is appropriate to this post *how*? nt MannyGoldstein Aug 2013 #20

In the same way as the one you posted. You should thank me for helping to give it exposure. n/t ProSense Aug 2013 #23

The OP refers to two classes of people, as did my reference MannyGoldstein Aug 2013 #49

This seems like another effort to deflect attention away from the point of the OP mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #50

LOL! ProSense Aug 2013 #53

Your opinions are based on carefully-selected facts, at best mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #57

No, that's your argument ProSense Aug 2013 #64

Yes, Mindwalker, you speak for a lot of us! Enthusiast Aug 2013 #121

Nonsense, and spare me the strawman pity. ProSense Aug 2013 #94

Sure you do, and you deflect people's attention from the issues mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #102

What a silly comment. ProSense Aug 2013 #126

Do you call this a personal attack mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #179

Your comments are becoming defensive. n/t ProSense Aug 2013 #180

This is a pretty standard technique mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #183

You appear to be projecting. ProSense Aug 2013 #184

I'm attacking you because your "arguments" are dishonest mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #187

No, you're doing it because you have no rebuttal on the issues. ProSense Aug 2013 #188

"I mean, your excuses are completetly disingenuous" mindwalker_i Aug 2013 #189
