It is the height of childish petulance to expect that you will always get what you ask for.

In that case, I will have to assume sac’s response was the correct assessment.

Sac, do you think Orin Hatch was calling Bush on a lie? Meaning, that Orin Hatch’s own word’s reveal, that Bush was given bad advice and that “untrue” does not equal a lie, is it accurate to characterize Orin Hatch’s response in such a way?

This is why I believed that Sarabeth was in fact slamming Orin Hatch for not going so far as to calling it a lie (which is fine), but simply untrue and given “bad advice”. What do you think, sac?

I declined perfectly politely. If that drives you to frustration and impoliteness, all I can say is your behavior doesn’t come close to matching your oft-expressed self-image.

what was uncivil about 2 or 4 or 6?

Just very condescending and dismissive when I’m trying to find a way to communicate with you without provoking you to wrath.

therefore SB is saying that the lie was so egregious that even someone like Hatch can’t stand silently by.

Sarabeth is sac’s assessment correct?

This is what I find wrong in America right now

Jesus!

And that’s consistent with your “I’ll try to be nicer in the future” how?

That’s as nice as I could possibly be and still express my frustration over a simply yes or no acknowledgment.

This is what I find wrong in America right now, no one wants to talk or be civil to the other side. I’m trying, even in this hostile environment (for me at least), I’m trying….

For crying out loud, …

Thanks much, you’re a peach.

And that’s consistent with your “I’ll try to be nicer in the future” how?

In any case, let me repeat:

You go ahead and believe whatever you want to, whether it’s the facts of an incident, or the meaning of what I wrote, or the existence of logical flaws in what I wrote. I really don’t care if you get it wrong. I do care about the enormous amount of time I end up spending correcting your misconceptions. And I’m not prepared to do it any more.

You are condemned to seeing the world through your own eyes

For crying out loud, I was trying to avoid a painful protracted argument on the meaning of words and just cut to the chase and ask for clarification and what do I get? Nothing. It is as if you want 58 comments of arguing over the meaning of “is”…

Fine then, I’ll just assume you were slamming Orin Hatch and if anyone else is reading and wasn’t sure of that then maybe I helped them make up their mind (even if it is to go opposite of me).

Thanks much, you’re a peach.
