115. Tell your pal cali that that link goes to a different article, and my comment was that this article

Tue Apr 21, 2015, 04:57 PM

Apr 2015

is incomplete and does not in fact present a full picture. Linking to the information I said is not in THIS piece in some other piece refutes nothing I said about this piece of shitty, shitty agenda mongering, insulting to the reader bullshit. My criticism is of the article you posted, not of the subject matter of the article.
And I do not need the permission of my Straight Overlords to say this writing is furtive, dishonest crappy.
Also dishonest, linking to some other article as if it was the same one in the OP. Which you did.
