No, Frank! Give it up. There is NO question. NONE. You should have known that by reading the stupid quote. It made no sense simply as a sentence. It was sheer stupidity. The two halves didn't go together, quite aside from the outrageous, impossible content designed to stimulate hate and paranoia. The particular liar who made it up happened to be a moron, or he would have done a better job, and I wouldn't have known the minute I read it it was a fabrication.
Frank, I have the Penguin edition-- that is, I have the hardcover version of the Penguin edition published by Houghton Mifflin-- it was then was issued in paperback by Penguin. Penguin buys the paperback rights of hard cover books just as Vintage does, or Perennial.
There is no question. None.
And what was written, and spread, was not, as you put it, "inaccurate." It was a huge, vicious lie made up for purposes of propaganda and manipulation.
The ease, no, alacrity, with which such a transparent, stupid, evil lie was accepted here is very disconcerting. |
