Benghazi Continues To Fester As The Truth Comes Out

Does this sound like a peaceful religion to you?

Never mind

Outline the disinformation in the NY Post article I posted.

Op-eds are meant to stir emotions through the use of hyperbole. If you need me to tell you that, you're doing it wrong.

I.e. "Obama is throwing open the borders."

Has President Obama literally removed all forms of border security? No.

Disinformation.

:rose:
 
He has provided additional security; in the form of legal, medical, and occupational security, for those streaming illegally over the border in hopes of turning them loose in the civil society, so they can forever contribute to the Democrat base. If he has enhanced security along the border it is in favor of illegal border crossers not the security of the American people. I live on the border, I know what's happening.

Google the comments of the leader of the Border Patrol Union for a complete picture of Obama's restrictions on their activities and how Obama cooks the books on deportation numbers.

What's the excuse for the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants that were in this country long before President Obama took office? What about Saint Ronnie's mass Amnesty program?

You think that the administration has been helping illegal immigrants cross the border? L O Fucking L..

That's almost as ridiculous as you still clinging to the birther conspiracy theories. You've been listening to Alex Jones again haven't you? :rolleyes:

No. Hyperbole is a rhetorical device. It can be used to spread disinformation, but its presence does not presage that.

Just because you choose to evaluate a statement for its literal accuracy when it is clearly not intended to be so, says more about the nuance to which you engage in critical reading than the author's.

I never said that every instance where hyperbole was used equated to disinformation. I simply said that op-eds stir emotions through hyperbole.

In Vette's case, he takes every op-ed written by conservative commentators to be gospel.

It was $10 bazillion dollars a day!

So says the nameless source in India... :rolleyes:
 
And Vette will take the opinion of said conservatives and shout it from the rooftops to try and persuade everyone else that A is fact and B is unpatriotic... regardless of what the actual situation is like.

That equals disinformation.

Queerbait often finds it easier to criticize the position he assigns to you, as opposed to what you actually said.

If someone writes an opinion piece does not mean that the substance of their point is wrong? Or that the information presented by way of setting up the opinion is incorrect or "misinformation?'

Since you tend to agree with opinion writers on the left (not that you use such to bolster your points) would you say that the 'truths' contained in a left think piece are invalid because they are opinion?

Impugn the substance not the source.

Hyperbole is, by definition, misinformation in that it is an exaggeration of what is real and not meant to be taken literally. If one engages in hyperbole to prove the point they're trying to massage from the truth, then they are in fact lying.

Deliberately stretching the truth to your own ends is no less a lie than making up something from whole cloth.

When opinions are presented in such a way that you're led to believe the opposite possibility can't possibly be true, then yes... it's incorrect. It's misinformation.

People on the left are certainly guilty of using their podium to spread disinformation as well... which is why I don't cite op-eds as sources to try and persuade other people like Vette does.

And I prefer to judge the source and the substance at the same time.

Ah the good ole "But the other side does it tooooooo, mommy!" defense.

Balance Equivalency Fallacy at its finest.

The RWCJ....specifically Miles, AJ and the Chickenshit Fatass Marine...routinely hide behind selective quotes of others at a rate of at least 10-1 over their librul adversaries.

They count on chuckleheads such as yourself to make excuses for them.

Google it, I made it up. That doesn't mean somebody else hasn't thought of it at some time or another. Really quite simple when you realize they fit each other like a glove, liberal and dumb.

Oh, you must've made it up because it doesn't even sound right when you try to pronounce it.

The "l" and the "d" don't mesh well together. Just let your yappy right-wing higher-ups on talk shows and in better tax brackets do your portmanteau work for you, Speak & Fail. :D
