Bush White House Confirms Details of Clinton
Vandalism

In response to Democrat demands for an apology over
allegedly false charges that Clinton administration
staffers had damaged White House property while departing
in January, the Bush administration has released a list of
the vandalized property.

Destruction of government property by Clinton staffers
included 75 phones that had been "tampered with,"
including ten where the lines had been cut, the Bush White
House said.

Twenty percent of the desks in the Eisenhower Office
complex had been overturned by Clinton staffers.

Obscene graffiti was discovered by Bush staffers in six
offices.

A 20-inch-wide presidential seal had been ripped off a
wall.

100 computer keyboards had been rendered inoperable by the
Clinton vandals.

Pornography was left behind in White House photocopiers.

Trash was spilled throughout the White House counsel's
office, along with other assorted random damage.

White House spokesman Ari Fleischer catalogued the
destruction for Sunday's Washington Post, but did not
affix a dollar value to the damage.

"The White House will defend itself and the career
employees," Fleischer told the Post.

"We tried to be gracious, but the last administration
would not take graciousness," he added, saying that claims
Bush staffers had lied about the incident forced him to
respond.

"By getting the information out, we hope to put an end to
this, so everyone can go on with the policy and business
of the government."

In April inspectors for the GAO said they found no unusual
damage done by the previous administration, but later
admitted their investigation included only damage to
office space and not office equipment.

<<Oh my, you're now having a tizzy because of one letter <s> added to a word??>>

Oh my, now asking for proof that i issued threats is 'having a tizzy'?

Michael, you know what? Plural is a concept, not a letter.

Like, "more than one threat," for example, contains the concept, but not the letter.

Concept. Implying more than one.

<<If you interpreted the S to mean I implied multiple threats in the past, than I am truly sorry E. >>

Now we're getting somewhere! You say you never intended those words "E, you should realize by now your threats are completely meaningless to me" to imply I had issued threats!

Excellent progress, Michael.

Now to talk about whether I threatened ProLife. You, not I, raised the issue, so you must have meant to imply it. Of course, perhaps you didn't!

ProLife posted a lie. I called him on it. He continued to post it. Then he had the audacity to post a science URL that further refuted his lie-- but, since he didn't understand this, he wrote, "Any questions, Class?," implying that the URL substantiated the lie.

He also wrote to me:

"You have shown nothing to be a lie. But I do understand that one in your position will require you to continue your tapping."

But I had, in fact, shown it to be a lie. So I wrote, in response to "Any questions, Class?", "YES! YES! I have a question, Professor!"

And in response to:

"You have shown nothing to be a lie. But I do understand that one in your position will require you to continue your tapping,"

I wrote, "Oh, I will "keep tapping"! -- Until you produce the evidence... or admit it was a lie you posted and a lie your movement has been promulgating for years. I want to see the evidence, or I want you to try to stop it... "

So your position would appear to be that to assure someone who is repeatedly promulgating a big lie and continues to defend the lie, that you will continue to "tap," -- using his own word for refute the lie-- is a "threat."

I can see why you might feel threatened by the truth. Still, that's a different and special meaning of the word "threat," i believe.

You guys just hate it when you're caught out in lies. Wiggle wiggle squirm squirm.

Michael, maybe you can understand it this way: A threat is "an expression of an intention to inflict injury on another."

What I did is say that if he continued to lie after I had proved it was a lie, i would continue to tell the truth.

Correcting a repeated lie (or getting a lying implication retracted in some cases) is not, ordinarily, what is called "inflicting an injury." It's called telling the truth.

Of course there's an argument for its being called sport, too. hehe.

Going out for waffles now. Speaking of waffles, i look forward to seeing your reply on my return.
