Excuse me.  Let me repeat the question to you and maybe you can answer it instead of dodging it.  

Does my 1 time statement that I had heard stating a fact that I had heard that assertion on a local radio show and it seemed plausible to me, amount to a "conspiracy theory"?? 

There was a statement on the  local radio where a caller posited the idea that Flynn's words were doctored.

Umm... that's a fact.  I was listening at the time. I don't deny that.   

So then, I'll ask again where does the conspiracy theory play out??  Is repeating a statement of a situation I thought to seem plausible now amount to a conspiracy?
 
Yes or no please. 

Doesn't a "conspiracy" amount to many people, numerous people or is it now one person?  wink

I answered a posting by Rod.  That was my assertion.  I don't deny that assertion.  Yes, I said that.

I also said almost immediately after I made that statement, that I needed the context of Flynn's statement to evaluate what he meant by that.

And so then you make the LEAP that I'm promoting a conspiracy theory.  Really?"  Approximately 2 statements later, I made the statement that it appeared that Flynn DID say that.

So then, where is the "conspiracy theory"?  

Can you identify it?  LOL  tongue 

I was offered a better view of the video and I conceded then, as I concede now that it appears that Flynn did say those words.

So then, I'll ask again, where is the conspiracy theory, the one you are claiming I'm promoting??   

I do think that the implication that Flynn was making a threat to someone needs context to understand what he was responding to.

Would you like to answer the question of the context of Flynn's statement?

Please define what "cherished belief" I have that fits the bill?  Is it that the press lies for the Democrats and that sometimes the press even doctors and alters audio to try to paint certain people in a bad light?

Does that not occur?

What do you feel is my "cherished belief".

I'll use your accusation that You "just threw that out there". 

Gee it appears that you must be therefore promoting a conspiracy theory about me.   wink

Is that what you are doing?  smile

Don't lie about what I said.  

I said this :  "I heard that the audio was doctored and he didn't say "find somebody", and that those words were substituted in the video at that point".

Since you want to play semantic word games, and nit-pick let's get my statement correct and EXACTLY correct dude.  

You said I repeated "they doctored the audio", as if I was stating a fact.

I never said this is a fact.  

If you want to play your little games, you better get my words exactly correct if you want to attribute some sinister "conspiracy theory" to my words.

"I heard" something isn't saying "this is a fact".  

Get your facts correct mouth, or shut it.  smile

LOL  You've become so left wing now that it is laughable.  

Your ludicrous assertion that one person repeating something they heard, is now tantamount to a "conspiracy theory", is beyond ridiculous.  The phrase itself belies just how idiotic your assertion is.  

My audience here? Who else involved themself, other than the lefties, and yourself who went hysterical and claimed I was engaging in a "conspiracy theory"?   tongue

You're becoming (or already have become) as buffoonish as the leftists here on this forum, but I wouldn't expect anything different coming out of the mouth of a RINO. 

And you're still beating a dead horse regarding your absurd claim that I was propagating a conspiracy theory.  Pardon me if I laugh in your face right now.  

Yes, Keep reaching dude.  You're grasping at straws, which just exposes you more and more every single day for what you are.  wink

Give it a rest..  LOL

Then you're more naive than I even imagined.  Of course I can't blame an uninformed neophyte like yourself for not keeping up with the literally dozens of lies that the left wing press puts out every week.  

No wonder you're in the dark.

Even so, please prove that the press publishes literally dozens of lies a week.  Or as you might say:


Please be specific.

And guess what, a line from Wikipedia doesn't cut it.

Show me {these dozens of lies per week} in full, not some snippet or line that some smear group is promoting. 

Show me where they said anything that you claimed.

{I’ll ask} a specific question.  Point out your assertions and give me a link to their writings.

I don't need some {right-wing} rag to tell me {anything}.

Other than the author of {some right wing screed} telling me what they stand for, prove your bulls***.

You're full of s*** as usual since you're not bright enough to provide any evidence.


You're not a very smart man are you?  wink

Nothing to see here.
Exactly. When the mind is gone, there really is nothing to see there.  

The guy just babbles incoherently 90% of the time.... Kinda like you.  tongue

I was SO happy to hear that the US Olympics Men's Basketball Team got their asses handed to them by the French! 

That was just Karma to the max IMO.  These Scumbags hate this country, would probably rather play for China, and take a knee against our Flag whenever Possible.

I know nothing about Basketball, but it was satisfying to hear that they got their clocks cleaned in their very 1st game.   smile

I hope it continues. 

These are Professionals playing a boy's game and they disrespect this country every chance they get.

Also, regarding Megan Raphinoe the soccer player who hates this nation as well. 

The Women's soccer team lost to Sweden, from what I heard.  They also don't like this nation, however they are happy to live here, making the $1,000,000s they are, yet taking a knee for our national anthem, at least 3 players did from what I've heard.

I hope they continue to lose, and lose, and lose.  smile

I did watch the Men's swimming and was happy to see how proud they are to be Americans and that they all had their hands over their hearts during the playing of OUR National Anthem.  

It was great to see people who actually appreciate this country and what it stands for.

I have quit watching all sports, except Boxing and MMA occasionally, however if I see athletes who stand for our Nation, I will root for them to win.  

I'll watch the kids and the adults who are Olympic competitors who don't disparage our nation in front of the world.

The ones who do the opposite, I will root for them to lose, always.
