Comment by &lt;strike&gt;Passing By&lt;/strike&gt; Cas-Hole, First, Last and Always  — May 21, 2013 @ 12:47 pm &lt;/blockquote&gt;
What bothers ME (and most everyone else here) is that YOU think it&#039;s OK to trivialize the vile actions of your fellow liars and tyrants to dismiss the MURDER of four Americans; that other commentators on this site (like that f**ktard JP*ssy2006) can listen to you doing so and think it is OK.  

If you don&#039;t like what&#039;s happening here, then &lt;b&gt;FO&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;...and that no action is taken by moderators of this site when you do.

Comment by Passing &lt;strike&gt;By&lt;/strike&gt; Away — May 21, 2013 @ 12:47 pm&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Your totalitarian impulse is showing again, Cas-hole.
It&#039;s just too great a temptation for you to tell others how to run their affairs, isn&#039;t it, you fascist witch?

Now go away, before somebody drops a ban on YOU.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of course it bothers you, Cas; Obama supporters like you want the rules applied to punish and silence your opposition.

That is the whole point of Benghazi, the IRS, the DOJ wiretaps, and now the Obama FBI stating that reporting the news is a crime. It is you and your fellow Obama supporters using governmental power to punish and silence any political opposition.

That is what you do not comprehend, Cas. We are aware that your &quot;outrage&quot; is not against tyranny, violence, or abuse: it is against you not being in charge of it.

And hence your whining and upset is that of a spoiled brat who is not getting its way and is resorting to shrieking that it&#039;s &quot;not fair&quot;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, Purple People Eater, if the aim is to deflect attention from my criticism of ILC&#039;s claim concerning Hot Air&#039;s &quot;refutation,&quot; you struggle manfully on. But, I will stick with my initial claim, and leave you to worry about whatever it is you are worrying about... 

&quot;It is often called “bunker mentality” which is the sense of self-justification, defensiveness and being overwhelmed by the weight of losing control. Spinmeisters only exist to control the narrative. Therefore, spinmeisters resort to knee-jerk reactions when the truth threatens them.&quot; Yes, your response to my initial comment shows this &quot;bunker mentality&quot; very well. 

Jman1961, &quot;It really bothers you, doesn’t it?&quot; 

It doesn&#039;t bother me that you haven&#039;t been banned, as yet. What bothers me is that you think it is OK to offer threats of violence to people; that other commentators on this site can listen to you doing so and think it is OK; and that no action is taken by moderators of this site when you do.]]></description>

As a strict, fiscal conservative, I fully support a system of compulsory taxation in order promote the very general welfare which includes roads, defense, safe drinking water, education, police, fire departments, sewage systems, and other fundamental signs of living in a civilized and advanced society. 

There is no need to argue about funding primary functions through compulsory taxation.

Now, I also believe that if you can not pay taxes from your government provided housing with your food stamp fed body that you can provide your labor as an exchange for what the working taxpayers send your way by way of the welfare system. (Somehow, I imagine you see that as some kind of slavery.)

We who pay taxes are forced (compulsory) to pay more and more taxes for ever more micro management of our lives and the lives of others.

It is hardly surprising that those who pay little or no taxes are among the loudest in defending the system of wealth transfer and increasing the &quot;free stuff&quot; from &quot;Obama&#039;s stash.&quot;

Perhaps you are a wealthy and heavily taxed individual who is giddy-happy to pay compulsory taxes without reservation. May I point out that you are free to send additional donations to the Treasury? Knock yourself out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the link at #56 - The Washington Post fact check says:&lt;blockquote&gt;Indeed, Republicans would have been foolish to seriously doctor e-mails that the White House at any moment could have released (and eventually did). Clearly, of course, Republicans would put their own spin on what the e-mails meant, as they did in the House report. Given that the e-mails were almost certain to leak once they were sent to Capitol Hill, it’s a wonder the White House did not proactively release them earlier.&lt;/blockquote&gt;In the comments in the link at #56:&lt;blockquote&gt;10:23 AM EDT
There really should be an investigation into who doctored the relevant emails. Evidence tampering is not something that should be taken lightly. 
 
The Republicans may claim to love the Bible but they seem to have difficulty understanding the &quot;Thou shall not bear false witness part.&quot; &lt;/blockquote&gt;Isn&#039;t it amazing how the talking points Progressive will drive the bus over what they didn&#039;t want to know and just stay focused on the talking points?

Cas Passing Gas decided that ILC needed to be taken to the woodshed over his use or misuse of the word refute rather than attend to actual issue.

So, out of irascibility, I laid the &quot;doctored&quot; claim back on Cas Passing Gas in the spirit of turnabout being fair play and all that kindergarten level debate shifting that Cas Passing Gas plays as high dudgeon and superiority domination.

Not being invested in all the permutations of the shielded email story, I may have been mistaken about its final disposition in terms of whether it has been released or not. That is a distinction without a difference, however when it comes to &quot;who doctored the e-mails.&quot; The issue is what is meant or even implied when one claims &quot;doctoring.&quot;

So far, Cas Passing Gas is perfectly content to be pompously spurious in ignoring the tacit understanding urged by repeating the claim of &quot;doctoring.&quot;

We all know that the general meaning of &quot;doctoring&quot; an email is to alter it, to change it, to falsify it. The WaPo fact checker takes this meaning when he asserts: &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Indeed, Republicans would have been foolish to seriously doctor e-mails that the White House at any moment could have released (and eventually did).&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Just to be clear, the WaPo fact checker is stating that emails &quot;doctored&quot;, meaning altered, by the Republicans would be immediately exposed when compared with the original emails.

But the spin game is so embedded in the ideologically driven minds of many Progressives that one commenter to the WaPo story says: &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;There really should be an investigation into who doctored the relevant emails.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Proof positive that &quot;damn the facts, that&#039;s my story and I am sticking to it&quot; always trumps logic, reason and precision.

&quot;Doctored&quot; = Mary Mapes, Bill Burkett, Dan Rather and &quot;false, but accurate.&quot; The chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Terry McAuliffe, suggested that the memos might have originated with long-time Bush strategist Karl Rove. and so forth.

Grasping at straws is how straw men are built.

What Cas Passing Gas likely can neither see nor understand (when shown) is how desperate one looks when one resorts to nit-picking as the primary diversion to avoid confronting the actual issue at hand. It is often called &quot;bunker mentality&quot; which is the sense of self-justification, defensiveness and being overwhelmed by the weight of losing control. Spinmeisters only exist to control the narrative. Therefore, spinmeisters resort to knee-jerk reactions when the truth threatens them.]]></description>
