The Ryan Calling Romney "Stench" Story Was Fake? [View all] RainbowUnicorn Sep 2012 OP

Thank you for your concern. The story was probably true valerief Sep 2012 #1

It is my impression that the satire was written by Roger Simon at Politico. immoderate Sep 2012 #2

He thought it would be "obvious"?? annabanana Sep 2012 #7

Roger Simon's great! flpoljunkie Sep 2012 #18

The joke's on him. It rang only too true. Cha Sep 2012 #22

Lies are OK as long as they help our guys, right? That's what you're suggesting. RainbowUnicorn Sep 2012 #11

Your assertion that you told the truth is actually a lie. DURHAM D Sep 2012 #14

It was not to be taken as a lie. Jennicut Sep 2012 #25

I heard about it on DU and MSNBC. Again, why are you so defensive? I'd like to see you in a debate RainbowUnicorn Sep 2012 #16

Yes, becuase someone named RainbowUnicorn that watches MSNBC is totally a right winger. RainbowUnicorn Sep 2012 #21

So this is all about your personal embarassment? DURHAM D Sep 2012 #24

And I'm sorry you had a conversation with me. RainbowUnicorn Sep 2012 #32
