The Top 5 Claims That Defenders Of The NSA Have To Stop Making To Remain Credible - EFF

162. ONCE AGAIN, spare me.

My ONLY point was that you cannot blame this entirely on Obama and that it is silly to expect the administration to change this on its own.

You can't really call that a point, since I neither blamed everything on Obama nor expressed any expectation, silly or otherwise, that the administration would change on its own. Nor did I attack your motives. Didn't say you were a bad person either.

You might one time try addressing the actual points I am making instead attacking my motives

Right back at you. And which point? That's some expectation that I never said I had had is a silly expectation? Why that one? There must be millions of expectations that I never had that are silly. Shall we list every one of them and then pretend you made some kind of point?

But I guess that would be harder.

Very cheap attempted shot--and one that doesn't work, especially when what you consider the points you made had nothing to do with what I had actually posted. You erected straw men to avoid addressing what I actually said, then accused me of dodging your straw men because addressing them is supposed to be too difficult for me? Jaysus. I can't even give that a "nice try."

Why don't you try refuting some claim that I actually made before accusing me of ignoring your straw men because addressing them is supposedly too difficult for me?
