And reiterate my point: it is standard Republican strategy to always blame others. By not saying "FB is having problems..." it is in my estimation a subtle, but meaningful shirk of responsibility. They are saying and implying: the users have a problem, not plainly admitting: FB has a problem.

So you can give them a pass on this example, as you are so inclined, but if you look about the twists and turns of republican-style rhetoric, you will--I contend--see this sort of thing over and over and over again. It's what they do: dodge responsibility, blame others.

It's a fundamental perversion of truth. Totally darkside.
