Hey... can you put "paraphrase" in parentheses before your paraphrase... Cooley Hurd Sep 2013 #4

He sure didn't but the ODSers don't care. They just make shit up! Liberal_Stalwart71 Sep 2013 #6

99th_Monkey is not an ODSer... Cooley Hurd Sep 2013 #7

If all you have is a dumbass made up acronym, why even bother? morningfog Sep 2013 #11

Post a direct quote from Kerry and I will never use the term ODS again... Liberal_Stalwart71 Sep 2013 #14

It's not my OP. I just think the stupid acronym is a piss poor attampt to argue or debate. morningfog Sep 2013 #33

ODS is apropos for a segment of the population that has a knee-jerk negative reaction Liberal_Stalwart71 Sep 2013 #40

So basically ODS is just the hip new term for an all-inclusive evil racist ant-Presidential strawman Dragonfli Sep 2013 #49

"Segment of the population" does not equal "all inclusive". Reading comprehension is key!! ;) Liberal_Stalwart71 Sep 2013 #53

Yes I know, there are none in the BOG for instance, but you still see them everywhere don't you? Dragonfli Sep 2013 #55

Pondering if I am an "ODSer" or not ... hmmm? 99th_Monkey Sep 2013 #26

I did some rewording, that did the trick. nt 99th_Monkey Sep 2013 #16

Very cool! We have an argument to be made, but probably don't want it lost... Cooley Hurd Sep 2013 #17

Thanks for your suggestion 99th_Monkey Sep 2013 #28

Yep, count on the guardian for your news sources, they might not have the right details Thinkingabout Sep 2013 #5

The Guardian is a valid news source. Cooley Hurd Sep 2013 #9

Since when did you start regarding The Guardian as sketchy? 99th_Monkey Sep 2013 #13

It should not matter what the subject is about when they print incorrect details and do not correct Thinkingabout Sep 2013 #18

They haven't printed incorrect details. Not.At.All. Cooley Hurd Sep 2013 #21

they are like reading the rags as you go through the check out line, I dont believe Thinkingabout Sep 2013 #25

Good thing, too! sibelian Sep 2013 #34

Like propaganda ? lumpy Sep 2013 #44

WHAT? How could you suggest such a thing? sibelian Sep 2013 #57

Umkay... Cooley Hurd Sep 2013 #35

In other words yes, you don't trust The Guardian because they gave Snowden ink. 99th_Monkey Sep 2013 #22

Did i say that, no, i did not. Get the details right. Thinkingabout Sep 2013 #27

So exactly WHAT "details" did The Guardian "not get right"? nt 99th_Monkey Sep 2013 #29

Do you work for the guardian? Thinkingabout Sep 2013 #30

Again... what didn't they get right? Cooley Hurd Sep 2013 #36

You could be equally wrong & use Assad's paraphrase. People see events through their tinted glasses. Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2013 #48
