Oh, quite right! If he was not asserting that it applies to present day America, then I absolutely withdraw my argument.


Brandon made a joke earlier on another thread showing he has a sense of humor I had never seen and now he's making a retraction!

Kudo's, Brandon. There's hope. Very Happy

Oh, God, Squinney. I was not making a retraction. I was saying, "checkmate."

Brandon,
A list was posted with no comment.

You are free to jump to whatever conclusions you want to but it is pretty silly to carry on as you did when no comment was made to apply the list to present America. Since some items on the list don't apply it could as well be an attempt to show how present America doesn't fit into a definition of "fascism."

Ah well, I add it to the rather lengthy list I have compiled of you attacking other posters for not living up to the debate techniques that you violate so often.

Yes, but he likely meant something by it. Since the poster has a history of posting in opposing the current administration, it would be reasonable to assume that this followed that tradition. If he did not intend it as a comment on present day America, then I simply have no dog in the race, and do withdraw everything I said.

Since you have already compiled the list, I am sure you'd be willing to share it here, just to verify that you're not favoring us with a lot of hot air.

I should have only used your words earlier to point out the error you made Brandon

Putting words in someone else's mouth so that you can then find them to be unworthy words is a very low form of debate.


But in response to your next post let me use....

I posted the list without comment leaving it to the reader to decide how much of it can be equated to the present direction of the government.
I could have given the link that it was lifted from which had backup to each of the 14 points and how he equated it to the present regime. Didn't since it was a little over the top.

<Yawn>.....I sincerely believed he meant it to apply to the Bush administration. Since he has a history of anti-administration posts, this is plausible. This is different from what I had referred to in that quotation - deliberately misrepresenting someone. As long as there is no assertion that present day America is either fascistic, or becoming fascistic, I have no problem with anything he said.

As for the judge nominees, here's an interesting read regarding the tilt in balance and what is really going on with the demand for votes:

Laurence Britt identifies 14 characteristics common to fascist regimes. His comparisons of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto, and Pinochet yielded this list of 14 "identifying characteristics of fascism."

Oy! Does every thread on Bush have to include this idiotic list of 14 characteristics of fascism?

It's too bad that it does, for it gives rabble-rousers like Brandon a great opportunity to hijack the thread.

Where are the investigative journalists when you need them? Being silenced by too timid editors or owners?

There are many days when I wish that I could jump ship. But the SSA doesn't allow you to direct deposit checks outside the US, from what I hear.
