To claim otherwise is evidence of pure partisan intent to distort & mislead. The conjunction "and" in Cheney's quote functioned to express a logical modification, consequence & supplementary explanation Didn't I saY it provided supplementary explanation? Yes, I did. So how was that misleading? And how does the second clause provide "modification"? "And" doesn't modify, it adds. There are other conjunctions available if modification is the goal. As for your characterizing my calling a couple of spades, spaces, as partisanship, hahaha. Your intentionally truncated Cheney quote was a bogus example. I provided the whole quote in proper context as the evidence to prove your deception was indeed a bogus example. I see. And that was important enough to warrant this extensive exchange because...? Do you always challenge allegedly bogus examples? If not, what are your criteria? which you inappropriately asserted it was equally absurd as the moronic Bush = global warming = more hurricanes billboard. I didn't assert any such thing. I offered my example as being in the same class, which they are. They have in common that they both charge a candidate with some horrid consequence with a thin suggestion of a causal connection between that candidate and the forecast event. Each is absurd. Each represents fear mongering. Each is unacceptable. Whether one is more or less absurd or more or less unacceptable than the other is neither measurable nor worth measuring.
