I think you're being pedantic because admitting something like Hogg getting the best of a Trump-supporting pundit is defeating.

Back in the real world, Ingraham's show is in serious danger of being cancelled. Maybe Breitbart can buy up all the slots until she gets on her feet again. :lol:

Actually no at the time I made that post I had read that multiple advertisers had pulled. I just linked to the Business Insider article because it was the first one that popped up when I got around to looking up a link and posting on the subject. His claim is that I lied about there being several advertisers pulling away which in fact is a lie from him.

nice backpedal... just happened top pick the one article (that you didn't read) that didn't support your claim... wow, such a believable tale that totally saves your OP.... (other than the coincidences that follow).... maybe you should have gone with a "what can I say?, I'm prophetic" kinda excuse instead of keeping the "I'm impulsive and tend to exaggerate" thing going.

Backpedaling would be changing your argument. My claim from the very beginning is that numerous, multiple sponsors dropped Laura. You, being you, are ignorant of just about everything that's factual so you jumped to the conclusion that I was lying. That was your argument from the beginning. So you accused me of lying, and all this time the number of sponsors fleeing her show has gone up significantly. In the face of such humiliating circumstances, you have the balls t sit there and pretend this is really about whether or not the businessinsider piece was written at the time a second sponsor had abandoned ship. Backpedaling is you pretending to that your argument from the beginning was that the link didn't say multiple. Backpedaling is you claiming I lied and then having to focus on an irrelevant sidebar about what a link did or didn't say to take focus off of your own stupidity, and more importantly, the fact that what I said is 100% accurate.

which was proven to be wrong at the time of your OP and by the content of your OP.

Nope, exaggerating...and the facts in your OP did all the work of discrediting your post.

Hawkeye wrote:That was your argument from the beginning. So you accused me of lying,

Yea, you just said that....saying it two-times-fast doesn't make your OP accurate.

Hawkeye wrote: and all this time the number of sponsors fleeing her show has gone up significantly.

Too bad that wasn't your OP claim.

Hawkeye wrote: In the face of such humiliating circumstances,

You stuck to your guns for sure.

Hawkeye wrote: you have the balls t sit there and pretend this is really about whether or not the businessinsider piece was written at the time a second sponsor had abandoned ship.

Nope, I had the balls to call out how your OP made an exaggerated claim that contradicted by the OP's citation. Balls, you should try to have some when it comes to admitting you were mistaken.

Hawkeye wrote: Backpedaling is you pretending to that your argument from the beginning was that the link didn't say multiple.

But the link did not say multiple...it only said one...singular.

Hawkeye wrote: Backpedaling is you claiming I lied

I also thought you saying it a third time would have menaing...but it didn't.

Hawkeye wrote: and then having to focus on an irrelevant sidebar about what a link did or didn't say to take focus off of your own stupidity, and more importantly, the fact that what I said is 100% accurate.

Yet, your own link and the time for your claim still prove to be more reality than whatever you are stating here.
Fact - you claimed plural and your citation claimed singular. That was always my position and it was never a side-bar. You credibility with regards to being a hair-fire exaggeration factory is relevant, because it becomes more/less amusing to see you flail about in some sort of adolescent ego dance where you would rather do anything than admit a mistake and move on.

Oh, and for being beat up and losing all those advertisers, I see where Laura is coming back on air, is that correct? Some people play long and others play short...knowing when and how is an adult thingy, ya know?

1. You're trolling
2. You're an idiot.
3. You're delusional.
4. It has been proved several times now that at the time of my OP there were in fact multiple sponsors who had dropped her show.
5. Repeating the same BS over and over won't make it true.
6. Did I mention you're an idiot?

Friday morning I posted what was already news the day before. The fact that businessinsider wasn't up to speed on the exact number is irrelevant. I never said my claims were detailed in the link. That was just something you inferred.

grindael and I have both produced multiple articles from Thursday that verified my claim that you called a lie. Thursday came before Friday. Did I mention you're an idiot? This thread should be framed for future reference as a textbook example as to why NO ONE should ever try to read, let lone engage your future posts.

Never believe that Conservatives 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. GOP'ers have the right to play, of course. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.

And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying 'Jewish swine,' collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in-your nation, your people-is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way."

I think the problem with being in the Middle is you kind of see both sides of the political spectrum forever trending toward authoritarianism, even in yourself wherever you happen to fall on a particular issue. Subgenius is easy to identify as an object lesson in abject stupidity, so he's an easy target. Others, however, are able to argue their strongarm politics much more coherently, but not any less dangerously to the American ethos of individualism.
