Nah, you're not good enough at rhetoric to make a legitimate claim to honesty here.

No, what you're doing here is neatly encapsulated in Jean Paul Sartre's essay "Anti-Semite and Jew":

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors.”

Except, I'm not entirely sure you actually are aware of the absurdity and impropriety of your statements....

How is an accusation of antisemitism relevant?

You might want to peruse the FBI publication LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS KILLED AND ASSULTED: 2016 to review all of the premeditated ambush murders that were perpetrated by African Americans who had been incited to violence by President Obama's racialist rhetoric. These racist attacks continued until one police chief (who was African American) disinvited President Obama so that you could not exploit the venue to incite more attacks.

...and for those of us who don't treat grammar like a game of "Pin The Tail On The Donkey"... this means?
For starters, you haven't included a link to the publication in question (which is odd given your tendency to put random links in) and you are missing the A from Assaulted. In addition, given the quote in your own post, you seem to be accusing The E of exploiting the venue to incite more attacks... in which case, you really need to either back that up by pulling up his posts that prove your point or CHECK THE TENSES IN YOUR POST FIRST!

Also, please remember to use the Return button occasionally to make your posts easier to read and less likely to be misunderstood. Walls of text a convincing argument do not make.

You need to learn how to read. The link is right at the bottom of the post.

Yes, I am sloppy.

I see. Added after I pointed out the lack of the link, no less.
Nice try, Tfly. Nice try...

Nope.

If that post had been edited after you posted yours, there would be a line at the bottom:

Last edited by TFLYTSNBN on Fri Mar 22, 2019 12:14 pm, edited 1 times in total.
(The time is a guess, just to make the example complete)

The forum software inserts that line automatically, nothing a user can do about it. Thar ain't one, therefore he didn't edit that post after yours.

As some may have noticed, I use taptalk.



Tap talk does not show if a post has been edited. Or at least, it doesn't show it to me if it was my post edited.


Edited to add.
The above couple of sentences was an edit, this is a second edit.

Edited via forum

OK, how about this then?

That line does not appear if it's the last post, but does when there is at least one following post. Go back, edit your post again and watch what happens.

When I quoted Tfly, the only part of the post I trimmed was at the start.
The link was not there at the time of quoting.
The link was not part of the quote.

This means either that the post got edited after I quoted it or there's a significant delay in incorporating links.

Testing link effects.

If only there was a similar situation we could point to, like Chicago and all the guns being snuck in from Indiana.

Also, Mexico's gun related death rate is almost half that of the US. (That's all gun deaths)
It has a gun murder rate that is nearly equal to the US.

Actually, I already had.
Removing the taptalk thing from this one.
