So, Benghazi has been so throughly proven to be nothing more than dirty Republican political tricks that their faithful followers had to do a complete thread derail to distract us from the truth? Well done.
Yep, pretty much. It's standard practice as each of their daily outrages is deconstructed and refuted. Blowing smoke is a team sport.

Par the course. Just look in the Chris Christie thread: This is the real difference between liberals and conservatives. Liberals point out real actual scandals that have smoking gun proof while republicans manufacture this shit up. This is exactly why Republicans have disdain over the scientific process and things like 'climate change' and 'evolution' are considered bullshit to them, but 'creation science' is considered 'truth'. Why think with your brain when you can think with your gut.

It doesn't matter how many facts get in the way of their narrative, idiot fuckers like matt1970 will keep screaming 'benghazi benghazi benghazi' 'till their blue in the face.

The funny thing is, i bet you the GOP leadership has absolutely no intention of prosecuting these 'scandals' because they'd lose badly and have egg on their face, they'd rather that it lingers on in the public perception with Fox News and other rightwing shitheads keep screaming about it all the time. If there were actual evidence like the Chris Christie emails, Obama would have been impeached a long time ago.

You show signs of a serious mental disorder the way you constantly insult people. I could only imagine what you are compensating for. And BTW, they weren't Chris Christie emails, they were emails from his depty chief of staff. I guess it takes an " idiot fucker" to figure something out like that.

I didn't say they were Chris Christie*'s* emails you idiot fucker, but they're clearly related to him and his administration.

And i insult you because you deserve it.

*cough* (more asterisks this time because you are really fucking stupid):
:D

Given that he doesn't understand quotation marks, it shouldn't be surprising he also doesn't understand apostrophes. Punctuation is hard.

Right, because clearly when Phokus says "the Chris Christie emails", he means emails from someone in his administration, he just forgot to use word administration. Just like if I were to say "The Bush emails", I am clearly really referring to emails from someone else in his administration.

Yeah, pretty much. I knew what he meant as did the others in this thread, just not you.

It must be some of that liberal speak, aka English, thats giving you trouble.

How do we differentiate between honest misunderstanding and willful ignorance?

Usually those that misunderstand something are the ones who apologize or when it's an honest misunderstanding they accept the clarification the first time it's given to them.

But what do I know?

You did see that the "clarification" was immediately followed by "you idiot fucker". I don't think Phokus can make many posts without using the term idiot or retard. Go see if your wife will even acknowledge a mistake she made much less apologize for it when you call her an you idiot fucker right after pointing it out. Hell, try it with anyone.

I'm sure it was his mental disorder that caused him to lash out like that;)

Have you not seen his posting history? Phokus and rational debate do not go hand in hand.

You (and me), have no room to criticize someone's posting history, or their debating skills (unless it's about incorruptible).

Admit the misunderstanding and move on, it's really not that big of a deal, you can both continue disliking each other;)

Admit? I think a written apology is in order with a signature in blood to appease the "intellectuals" among us. Don't go too lightly on this or he'll just walk all over you next time.

Criticizing his debating skills is one thing, but his tact and mannerisms are in a class all their own.
