Yes, and I sure all of this will be reported. former9thward Jan 2015 #50

HAH....WTF? George II Jan 2015 #121

That is the flag of Canada is it not? former9thward Jan 2015 #125

I too enjoyed the irony of watching you assume something, then tsk Demit Jan 2015 #127

On the one hand you make an assumtion (which, incidentally is false!) and then you proceed..... George II Jan 2015 #129

I wonder what the admins think of some of this stuff? MADem Jan 2015 #156

You tried to bait me for being "anti-woman" former9thward Jan 2015 #173

When did I try to "bait" you? If I remember (that was yesterday), I merely showed.... George II Jan 2015 #174

"How do you feel about a woman running for president"? former9thward Jan 2015 #178

In the context there was nothing wrong with it, especially since you previously declared... George II Jan 2015 #179

You said it was "determined decades ago former9thward Jan 2015 #181

It DID happen, so it still will be reported on today, tomorrow, and for years to come. George II Jan 2015 #182

Ay yay yay alcibiades_mystery Jan 2015 #39

It's just so ridiculous!!!!!!! MADem Jan 2015 #44

It's pretty easy for a poster to say that if an elderly man fell, it's his fault CreekDog Jan 2015 #61

And the reverse is true also. former9thward Jan 2015 #62

but only in the former case is anyone being accused of lying CreekDog Jan 2015 #69

Clever. Kingofalldems Jan 2015 #63

Would you have jumped in with insinuations if Kingofalldems Jan 2015 #72

Of course. former9thward Jan 2015 #112

the statement was in the story CreekDog Jan 2015 #171

He DID fall, after the equipment broke. Says it right in the statement from his office. Thor_MN Jan 2015 #41

"I got called out on not seeing obvious information and am digging in my heels in response." Posteritatis Jan 2015 #45

What "claim" did I make? former9thward Jan 2015 #68

OK. Thor_MN Jan 2015 #71

I replied to that in post #25. former9thward Jan 2015 #76

Your reply says you didn't read everything, then doubled down on calling them liars. Thor_MN Jan 2015 #82

Please do a cut and paste to where I called anyone a Liar. former9thward Jan 2015 #86

What do you think questioning if a statement is true amounts to? Thor_MN Jan 2015 #90

"if someone has an accident it is easy to blame the equipment. Nobody is going to check it." George II Jan 2015 #116

That is a factual statement. former9thward Jan 2015 #123

Not only calling Reid a liar... see his post down below hlthe2b Jan 2015 #73

Do a cut and paste of that BS former9thward Jan 2015 #113

I have yet to see a post from 9ward that is not annoying, irritating, or disagreeable NBachers Jan 2015 #142

Thank you! former9thward Jan 2015 #185

Had you read the piece linked, the entire statement is highlighted there & below hlthe2b Jan 2015 #53

I already posted about that. former9thward Jan 2015 #60

And you, have what evidence to call out Reid as a liar in his OFFICIAL statement? None, obviously hlthe2b Jan 2015 #64

Republicans put out OFFICIAL statements all the time. former9thward Jan 2015 #67

So Reid is now a "REPUBLICAN"--really? You want to say THAT instead of acknowledging your mistake? hlthe2b Jan 2015 #70

Please do a cut and paste where I said Reid is a Republican. former9thward Jan 2015 #74

I already did so... Your statement is included in my post. I guess you don't read ANYTHING, do you? hlthe2b Jan 2015 #75

So you accept all statements from Ds without thinking? former9thward Jan 2015 #77

I think you are clearly in the wrong place if you intend to call out Dems as Liars with NO PROOF hlthe2b Jan 2015 #78

Please do a cut and paste to where I called anyone a Liar. former9thward Jan 2015 #85

You have already proven yourself unwilling to take responsibility for your mistakes and lacking hlthe2b Jan 2015 #91

Thank you. former9thward Jan 2015 #92

Much as many half-wits blame attribute their own idiocy to skepticism... LanternWaste Jan 2015 #186

I take it you were on this jury? Demeter Jan 2015 #110

Yup DeadLetterOffice Jan 2015 #143

Even though the poster was attacking me former9thward Jan 2015 #114

No, SOME "older people" blame the equipment, so you're assuming that just because he's "older"... George II Jan 2015 #117

Please do a cut and paste to where I called anyone a Liar. former9thward Jan 2015 #119

When you imply that someone isn't telling the truth about something.... George II Jan 2015 #124

Those "old fogies" failed to form a coalition with "the kids". jeff47 Jan 2015 #40

Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren, Al Franken....yeah, a bunch of "old fogies." Ageist much? nt MADem Jan 2015 #48

'Old fogey' is a state of mind. earthside Jan 2015 #79

Oh, I think "Old Fogey" is code around these parts for "People who are disliked" by some posters. MADem Jan 2015 #111

And I think "ageist" is code for "don't criticize Hillary". earthside Jan 2015 #161

It could also be code for "Don't criticize Bernie" or "Don't criticize Elizabeth" in actual fact. MADem Jan 2015 #162

People running for President should not be SS eligible when they run. former9thward Jan 2015 #88

You are one single, solitary person who (proudly, apparently) discriminates based on age. MADem Jan 2015 #152

The Senate is not the Presidency former9thward Jan 2015 #155

You joined this thread to shit on Harry Reid. MADem Jan 2015 #158

How do you feel about women running for president? George II Jan 2015 #130

I voted for one in 2008. former9thward Jan 2015 #138

You voted for a woman for President in 2008? Write-in? I'll be supporting Clinton next year, but.. George II Jan 2015 #141

No write in. former9thward Jan 2015 #145

There hasn't been a woman on the ballot that I can recall. I also haven't.... George II Jan 2015 #146

You are throwing out the charges, not I. former9thward Jan 2015 #148

You don't get how it works. MADem Jan 2015 #15

Well, I'm so glad the Millionaire Class likes him Demeter Jan 2015 #20

If my memory serves me right he was in an auto accident not too long ago madokie Jan 2015 #34

That's his fault? He was a PASSENGER--he wasn't driving!!! MADem Jan 2015 #37

I wasn't implying fault by anyone madokie Jan 2015 #38

Two injuries in six years is "accident prone" now? (nt) Posteritatis Jan 2015 #46

Yeah, everyone loves getting on a treadmill after a few martinis. Elmer S. E. Dump Jan 2015 #11

That's a spurious accusation for which you have ZERO evidence. MADem Jan 2015 #30

I was responding sarcastically to this post Elmer S. E. Dump Jan 2015 #164

Probably a good idea to acquaint yourself with smilies... MADem Jan 2015 #165

I used one I thought was signifying the same thing Elmer S. E. Dump Jan 2015 #166

My fault, then--I missed that! MADem Jan 2015 #167

You don't know what "most of DU" means? former9thward Jan 2015 #31

Those people weren't griping about private affiliations with religious groups--they were griping MADem Jan 2015 #36

I am well aware of the tax controversy. former9thward Jan 2015 #57

Who do you think Gregory Prince is? MADem Jan 2015 #102

Nothing there about your claim the Mormon church gave Reid Romney's tax returns. former9thward Jan 2015 #137

You can read the links, or not. And that hole is the one you're digging. nt MADem Jan 2015 #149

I don't drink, still manage to bang myself up sometimes. TwilightGardener Jan 2015 #29

He's not a klutz--the EQUIPMENT broke. It's right there in the article. nt MADem Jan 2015 #32
