There's still the question of the validity of Cosmo's claim. In your view, Is it out of the question that there may be a little historical finagling on their part in order to capitalize on the situation? |

So you claim they are lying that she brought up her (false) story in some other discussion? Edited by CautionaryTales, Feb 7 2017, 08:09 AM.

Perhaps in this case - but it is the same strategy. Refer back to Trumps quote about black/murder murder rates, where he changed the percentage - the media jumped all over him because he was wrong only to discover that the rate was in fact higher. |

LOL, Are we jumping to conclusions here? Asking you an uncomfortable question in no way claims they are lying. It simply asks you if you believe that's within the realm of possibility. But I understand your need to portray it that way. So..care to stop projecting and answer the question? Edited by ringotuna, Feb 7 2017, 08:18 AM.

I think we all remember where we weren’t when we didn’t hear that nothing had happened. … Just because it didn’t happen doesn’t mean it wasn’t an inside job. Think about it! If America isn’t going to be attacked, who’s most likely not to do it? Us! … I demand that the media not release the reports they did not do on the attacks that did not occur. And I will not rest until they don’t! S Colbert |

Interestingly, this deflected back to the topic and away from your attempted diversion/deflection...whatever it was. |

I think, like most Trump followers, she is willfully ignorant. She heard this mentioned and trotted it out as fact without caring if it is or not. A lie is a willful misrepresentation, so based on my description above, is that a lie or a mis-statement of fact? If you use the Right's definition of a lie, based on their allegations against Hillary and others, Kellyanne and the whole Trump team is lying their asses off and being lead by the Liar in Chief. |

The right has the exact same definition of a lie as the left, and they apply it in the exact same way as the left....Selectively. |

I don't not recall where I was that day or night. Maybe it's for best and worst because maybe there were no survivors that lived? I know that the next time something like this doesn't happen, I'll be writing it down somewhere so I can find out it what it was they did and didn't do and what I did or didn't think that time that never was.

Insisting it's a deflection does not make it so. It's viable test of political perceptions, and now a certain display of how some here will mumble deflection to avoid those uncomfortable questions.
